Hellloooo the House!

I love knowing we are all over the world, reading the same things, loving and nurturing each other, and in many cases, never meeting in the flesh. I remember vividly when we first got the internet and how it opened a world of Wonder for me. I could barely wrap my brain around the connection with the rest of the world. I've always said, it felt like my backyard fence had grown to encompass the whole earth.

I still feel that way. I hope I never lose the feeling of magic that happens each time I get online.

"I'm sure Jamie will be able to...er...do something," I said, privately hoping that the something wouldn't involve too much violence. The unwelcome thought occured to me that the diminutive thief-taker would fit tidily in one of the empty food hampers.

"Gut." Uta McGillivray nodded slowly, still watching. "Better that do not kill him." Her eyes turned suddenly back to me, light blue and very bright."But I vill do it, if I must."

I believed her.

[> I love Uta McGillivray. The no-nonscence, determined mother who is like a helicopter- mom. She has plans for everyone, and heaven help anyone who gets in the way. Her nonchalance about killing someone who is harming one of her family members, fascinates me. Grind him into sausage, discussing how she can and can't dispose of him.... she's just quite a character. When she goes berserk at Claire, she's terrifying, because we KNOW she's capable of just about anything when irate. Enough of Ute. I'll post something else tomorrow. -- Betsy BFS, Wed, October 26 2022, 20:30:51
