Nophoto-f-50x66 Holy shit, this is why we are in love I think. We read all the same books as children. Maybe I am an idiot and everyone did, but every single one you put up there is one of my all-time favorites.
I waas going to name my first-born Ramona, I think about Bilbo Baggins all the time, and Blackhearts in Battersea!
Please consider polygamy...I will learn to share.
Oh yeah and by the way Libby is a fucking genius, particularly at reading.
