Saturday I buried my son and today is the two year anniversary of my nephew’s death. If you have some extra love lying around, I could use it. And maybe some of your strength, because, ladies, I am weary.

We will do whatever you need of us @supertam87

Please ask, whenever - whatever - however, and we’ll do the best we can.  We know we can’t do the impossible and take this horror and pain and burden away (because we would if we could) but whatever we can do, we will.

We love you.  You are so important to us.  Our hearts ache for you.  Our tears fall with yours.

I was walking through the general convention area and I am wearing my ‘there is no team Frank’ shirt and a lady cheers and says, “Yes! Team Frank” and I say, um, no, read the whole thing. There is NO team Frank. And she literally put her hand up and pushed me away, and I was like, fine, girl, we can part ways because you are NOT my people. Except I was nice about it and was laughing, and she was mean and serious, so I think maybe she needs to reevaluate her priorities. Is it Frank that made you bitter, honey? He does that to people.

Is it possible that I love you even more @supertam87 after this?

And that it falls right below “Highway Thru Hell” says something, right?

i hope people realize this isn't about shipping. this is about why we all watch outlander and who Starz should be promoting. and that a video thrown together by what looks like a 5 year old is not fan engagement.

This entire fanbase was created on the two main characters, isn’t that why we are all here? Everything else is secondary. It seems Starz has lost its way.

Exacty. This is not about shipping. It is about honoring the main characters not throwing a video out there like they are an afterthought

Absolutely. JAMIE AND CLAIRE

Here’s the problem, guys and gals: the series creators don’t know that because the author doesn’t know that. She thinks that we’re all here for the wacky plot lines and side quests and odd characters and general distractions when in reality, I think every single reader would be most contented to read page after page of jamie brewing whisky and chopping logs while Claire gardened and churned butter and then at the end of the day mmmph. Clarence and Rollo, the white sow, and of course Adso could all pop in for a coffee now and then, as well as a few others like Ian and Rachel, but honestly, all that side plot? WE. ARE. NOT. HERE. FOR. THAT. GIVE👏🏻US👏🏻JAMIE AND CLAIRE👏🏻ALL👏🏻DAY👏🏻EVERY👏🏻DAY👏🏻

I am not here for side plot @supertam87

Jamie and Claire.  Claire and Jamie.  More Jamie and Claire.

@sherrigamblin asked for sheep pictures and I had this video of our first lambs born earlier this year.  Little Pia is a non-stop bundle of dancing moves x o

(Hope the quality is okay, its just from my phone in low light)

Love to you all, and miss you very much - this is how I would act if I saw any of you right now, I would jump up and down and sideways, and run in circles.

Also tagging @callmeder because she loves the lambs, too

Once you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is super cool!)

Thanks for the tag, @flockof! You’re ability to identify celebrity hybrids still confounds me. Ok, let’s talk about me:

1) I have learned to truly love myself. I can talk without boasting about why I am a good person, can appreciate my strengths, even though they are different from other people’s strengths which I admire and wish I had. I’m great just as I am.

2) I am wise and level-levelheaded. My mother always told me I have an old soul, and almost every time I meet a new friend, they say the same thing.

3) I am highly adaptable. I can Macgyver anything. Physcial things, vacations, learning new skills - throw me in - I can make it work. Baptism by fire is how I learn best. 

4) I make magic with a sewing machine

5) I’m an excellent cook/baker

I’ll tag @callmeder @sileas84 @sherrigamblin @chrismosstree @houseofjoy1766 @mywoolmitten @valkyrie1969 @surana17 @outoftheheartsabundance @widchadidcha. If you’ve already been tagged, I’m not even sorry. Think of 5 more things and do it again.

Well I love knowing these things about you @supertam87 . I would add that you also write the most beautiful heartfelt letters that can make a person cry x o

Hmmm, what do I like about myself?

1) I make a mean pair of mittens.  And gloves.  I can make mittens and gloves.  From my own sheeps wool

2) I treasure old ways.  Farming, Faith and Family mostly.

3) I’m good at growing things - well, outdoor things (not houseplants so much)

4) I’m an exceptionally good judge of an animals conformation, especially horses.  I can spot a poor hock, a bench knee, a shallow hoof, a steep croup from a long distance.  Don’t know how that helps me in my life these days, but there you have it.

5) Most of all, and most importantly, I have learned to be an excellent health care giver, a fierce advocate and more patient than I ever, ever dreamed I could be when giving that care.

I tag @tara-58 @nandan11 @uacboo @southerngirl @outlandishchridhe and @sherrigamblin  @dagmar686 as well as anyone else who would like to share

Ever since my mother literally forced me to go to the 30th Anniversary showing of Gone With The Wind in 1969, I have been a huge Vivien Leigh fan.  From the very first scene, I was enrapt by her screen presence.  Although most probably know her in her most famous role as Scarlett O’Hara,  there was another movie character that left me spellbound…that of Myra Lester.  In a way, Cait reminds me of Vivien because of the way they convey the character so well with just facial expressions.  So tonight, I am happily watching one of my most favorite movies of all time…Waterloo Bridge.

“I hadna thought of you as grown,” he said, letting his hand fall reluctatly away. “I saw the pictures, but still—I had ye in my mind somehow as a wee bairn always—as my babe. I never expected…” His voice trailed off as he stared at her, the eyes like her own, deep blue and thick-lashed, wide in fascination.

Bow Down to Your Queen: Helen Mirren in Rami Al Ali Couture at the 2018 Berlinale International Film Festival

Her Serenely Fabulous Highness, Queen Helen I, of the island nation of Fuckinfantastica.

Her Highness will be meeting with the Pope later to discuss matters of import. Until then, she will just stand here, being fucking fabulous.

Dame Helen is a great role model for older ladies

Sometimes the grumpy barn cat turned house cat has just had enough and has to take a nap in the middle of knitting...

I wish all of you, my dears, a happy Valentines Day!  If you do nothing else today, take a moment to stop and give yourself a hug.  Drink a cup of your favorite coffee or tea or cocoa or whatever (shoot I don’t care if its a glass of water if you enjoy it!)  If you have someone special to celebrate it with, celebrate well.  If there’s no significant other, then tell someone else in your life how much you appreciate them.

Love you guys x o
