I wanted to leave a comment and say, "I feel your grief", or more to the point "I have felt your grief in the past." You'll work through this and a different woman will emerge from the other side. During my 5 1/2 YEARS (yes, years) of therapy I worked through a lot of things. As you change and grow the question always is, will the other people in your life be along for the ride? It's an interesting dynamic. I'd like to thank you for your comment and astute observation about the Pioneer Woman site. How many times can you shoot a cow and be cheerful? Give me reality and authentic writing anytime. I hope that everyone clicked on that photo of the connected mansions. OMIGOSH!!! That's stinking amazing. It's sure alot of stuff crammed into that acreage but it looks so amazing. I hope you had a few moments of joy during your trip..... perhaps just a few. - Suzanne, the Farmer's Wife I’m probably too late for the giveaway, but no matter.

I changed his fricking diapers, for cripes' sake. Hope you're feeling better and recovering from your trip. :-) Complely ignoring your lurching grief (I can me callous like that), I just have to ask – when did your oldest boy get so freaking tall?!?!? :-) I’m sensitive to this only because my 14-year old nephew is now taller than I am and it freaks me out.

Lots to say about your comments re: Bath trip. Most is from what you don't say in your commentary. Why can we not have women like you on TV instead of plastic phonies like Oprah? You are far more clever and real. Somone to relate to. You lift my spirits, I wish I could lift yours. Hang in there, you are rock solid. My first visit to your site.

But I love Bath. Been there twice. And we saw Stonehenge from outside the fence, too. I think people are defacing the stones by touching them, (you know how you're not supposed to touch artifacts) but I assume someone has already mentioned that in the comments. But I didn't read them all. I am a little moldery myself. I know I’m too late for the contest. But I love Bath. Been there twice. And we saw Stonehenge from outside the fence, too.

The crescent building(s) are very cool and prominetly featured in my fav bbc telling of Persuasion. "I am certain....and nothing can persuade me otherwise." If you have not seen it. You must. Boo to Stonehenge. That is just dumb. I love thinking that I am walking where the ancients walked. Love it. Dear Lurch,

You look like a college girl in the photo - a very cute college girl. I would love to read the Jane Austen book. I am a new Jane Austen books having just read my first one (Pride and Prejudice) this summer. But I loved it and am ready to read more! Well I must say you wear your grief well.

And we LOVED it! Bawth (you have to pronounce it right, right?) was amazing. I even brought some of that nasty water home to share with my kids. I was just taken by all the old, old buildings and the architecture. I have to tell you, though, that my original reason for going was to see Stonehenge. And I am so sorry you missed it. I would walk 10 feet and take a picture and walk another 10 feet and take another picture, etc. It felt like a surreal moment with just me and those old rocks. I was breathless. Seeing your pictures was a hoot. I have some just like them. And I am also glad to see some pictures of you. It is nice when someone else holds the camera for a change, right? Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I would love to see more..... We just got back from Europe, too. And we LOVED it!

My daughters (19 and 23) and I have had a long love affair with Pride and Predjudice and the correct Mr. Darcy( thank you A&E)! I am relating to your lurching grief on a much different but somewhat related note. I too have been married to that devoted, committed, and driven country doctor. 16 years were spent building a marriage, family, and rural medical practice. At the age of 41 my devoted husband, father and country doctor passed away from a long courageous battle with a malignant brain tumor. It has been 8 years since that devastating day. We have survived, and life has much joy and happiness again, but not a day goes by that I don't think of him and long for what my daughters and I have lost. I hope you find it in your heart to embrace your husband and appreciate the many gifts that are right in front of you. I would trade places with you in a heart beat!

I had the great privilege to spend a month in England as part of my English studies in college. I spent most of my time in London, but I did travel to places like Tintern Abbey, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, and other locales with literary significance. To me, Bath was such a respite from the grit and grime of the city of London, and Bath Abbey was so light and ethereal compared to the other cathedrals I visited. I do love Jane Austen, and it would be fun to have this book, but mostly I just wanted to send some positive vibes your way. I use your blog for inspiration before every trip to the library - your suggestions haven't failed me yet! Keep up the good work! Oh, I am so sorry that London was ruined for you.
