I figured you'd become a Crusader but then thought just maybe you were just being nice and worried I'd beat you up *laughing*. And just for the record - if anyone isn't a Crusader after seeing N&S - it's perfectly OK since I know we all have different tastes and not everyone is going to be as captivated.<BR/><BR/>Ana: It was a lovely break - and it came at exactly the right time! If I'd had to stay in this disaster of a house one more weekend, I would have gone nuts. As it was I was all set to clean as much as I could when I got home - but I had to keep my coat and mittens one for a few hours after and by the time it was warm enough to take them up, it was bedtime *sigh*<BR/>And I will be adding Thea to the Maybe Crusaders. I love doing that. Almost as much as moving them from Maybe to Confirmed *g*<BR/><BR/>Nath: *evil grin* as I said at Cindy's, you cannot resist us forever. And when you think about it, Elizabeth Gaskell wrote North and South years before John Jakes. And they aren't at all the same. So it wouldn't be a betrayal of Jake at all if you were to watch it. It would be like reading two romance books - both different authors, one a RS and one a historical, that just happened to share the same title but nothing alike at all.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-31604858040103554882008-01-28T08:10:00.000-05:002008-01-28T08:10:00.000-05:00Hey Kristie :D It was definitively a great idea yo...Hey Kristie :D It was definitively a great idea you had :) to go watch North and South on a big screen, be out of your house and spend time with Cindy. I'm jealous... but also happy that you can't just drive up to my house, because I'm still resisting to the North and South movement ;P I'm happy enough with the other N&S by John Jakes LOL :P<BR/><BR/>great books :P I want to buy the time traveling one!!!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-40649461513559482552008-01-28T04:47:00.000-05:002008-01-28T04:47:00.000-05:00It seems you had a *Keanu Reeves voice* Most Excel...It seems you had a *Keanu Reeves voice* Most Excellent break!<BR/><BR/>And on the subject of North and South Crusade - Thea got her copy in the post this weekend!

And I have a spare room once the kitchen is done - right now it's part one of mini kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Lori: I have one more and I will be looking for more of Karen Rose's books and I will let you know what I think of Ms. Calvert's books *g*<BR/><BR/>Dev: I'm anxiously waiting to see what she thinks of it too. She seemed to like it and we did watch the train scene more than once - but I'm not sure if that was for her or for me - heh heh.<BR/><BR/>Katie: It was lots of fun. There's just something special about meeting fellow blogger who love romance the same way we do.

Well, all I can say is, next time I'm in your area, be prepared for a house call. Let's hope that the kitchen is finished by then. lol.<BR/><BR/>Looks like you picked up some great reads too. :)sulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470361085886637371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-21943385775597284092008-01-27T22:52:00.000-05:002008-01-27T22:52:00.000-05:00Sounds like a fabulous weekend!Do everything you c...Sounds like a fabulous weekend!<BR/><BR/>Do everything you can to get a hold of the rest of Karen Rose's books! I'd send you mine, but I have no idea who's reading them now!<BR/><BR/>I just finished the Dawn Calvert, and it was an interesting twist on the time travel, I must say.

I now have the HUGE old computer monitor in the hall because it's too heavy for me to take to the basement and all the other rooms are filled with kitchen stuff. I was kind of in the middle of redoing the living room when they started the kitchen and - things are just a mess!<BR/>Cindy has lots of reading to do now too :) In order to avoid spoilers, she hasn't read any of the Great North and South Crusade posts or any of The Crusaders thoughts.<BR/>And oh how I envy you (and her *g*) for being able to watch it on a big screen! I could even read all the posters on the walls of the buildings and things it was that clear.<BR/>And aren't there wonderful videos on YouTube? I'm in awe of so much talent!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-60057724763811895522008-01-27T21:29:00.000-05:002008-01-27T21:29:00.000-05:00How fun!

How cool is that? <BR/><BR/>Every time I read about your kitchen I have flashback of remodeling mine. Ugh! I'm never doing that again! At least I won't do it and try to live in the house at the same time with a husband and two kids. <BR/><BR/>I adored the video at the end of your post.
