Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (1:19pm December 2, 2011):

Thanks Pat and Judith for your comments re Sandra. Judith, I'm sorry to hear about your mother.

Thanks for commenting, Beth and Marianne

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (11:05pm November 30, 2011):

My daughter gave me her take on the life / lemons debate: When life hands you lemons, squirt lemon juice in life's eyes! Guess she's more of the "don't get mad, get even" persuasion...

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (8:40pm November 30, 2011):

Hmm, I'm starting to get hungry with talk of pound cake and pies!

Peggy, well done, holding on to the ability to laugh.

Melanie, you summed it up nicely!

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (5:57pm November 30, 2011):

Diane, I have to admit I love the taste of lemon! (much more than orange)

Sharon, thank you for your thoughtful words.

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (5:06pm November 30, 2011):

Karina, thanks for the nice compliment (I'll pay you later!)

Carla, lemoncello sounds tasty!

Donna, congrats on finding your soulmate! I have one too, and that makes up for a lot of lemons...

Elaine, I agree, you can never be too thankful

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (4:55pm November 30, 2011):

thank you, everyone who has mentioned Sandra Hyatt - I miss her every day. (and thanks Tammy for buying all her books!)

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (1:42pm November 30, 2011):

Jennifer and Colleen, I agree, the ending is so much sweeter when the characters have had to work for it.

Cathy, that's cool that your husband has taught you a more optimistic outlook!

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (12:23pm November 30, 2011):

Ashley - "Debbie downer" - that's funny!

Karen and Theresa - here's to happy books!

Marjorie and Mary - nice to meet some other optimists...

Cate, Felicia and Connie - I agree, we need both lemons and lemonade

Re: The Earl's Mistaken Bride (5:42am November 30, 2011):

Patti, I'm an optimist married to someone who's more of a pessimist. Maybe we subconsciously seek that balance!

Brenda, I'm a big fan of stubborn heroines, too...

Mary and Penny, thanks so much for commenting...Penny, I hope your lemon days are over soon
