Allow me to introduce mysticalrose84, myself (the baby) and our mutual friend and cousin, fourteen years ago. These two now live in Oklahoma along with 13 other cousins, and I had a superb time visiting them and their families a few weeks ago (that's part of why my blogging has been so scanty lately).

I'm sure it's evident that I don't like translators, or languages for that matter, and never spend to much time translating Chesterton quotes on them. (: How do you waste time on a Saturday morning (or any morning really)? Just click on the word translators above.
