So, I've had three glorious weeks off work. GLORIOUS. Not because I have done anything exciting or life-changing, but because I JUST WASN'T AT WORK. Which is pretty damn good to me. But the time has gone dizzingly fast. Depressingly so. Like, where did the last two weeks go? Where did the last 5 days go? The last three hours? I don't know. I am a terrible time-waster, one of those people who is always "busy doing something close to nothing" (Thank you, Prince). I have so many things I want to do, I end up faffing about doing nothing. Which is horrible and makes me very annoyed. I don't sit around doing nothing, I move around and never sit still, but at the same time doing nothing constructive.
I was supposed to get fit and lose weight on my holiday, but that hasn't happened. I have pretty much eaten my way from one end of Perth to the other. Lots of lunches and breakfasts and dinners out. A coffee break here, an afternoon tea there – it all adds up. So, predictably, I gave up on the whole losing weight scenario. That will have to wait until I am back at work (although the workplace is often THE WORST place for trying to stick to a diet). But I have caught up with lots of friends and family, so I am not complaining really. I can't do up my pants, but I am not complaining.
Because I am looking at moving out soon, I have tried to limit the amount of shopping I do. I need to declutter, not get more stuff. I sorted through my wardrobe and culled a bunch of stuff that I no longer needed or fitted in to (giving up the dream of ever being skinny again any time soon). I didn't go op-shopping for a few weeks. I stayed away from those havens of thrifty goodness because I don't want to fill my wardrobe again. And I thought it would be incentive to lose weight – the promise of new clothes down the track.
Well, that lasted all of about three weeks, which is actually pretty good for me. Probably a record, in fact. I even took stuff TO the op shop in order to donate it, and did not go inside "to have a quick look". I was a good girl. For a little while. Hey, an accomplishment is an accomplishment, no matter how small, right? I will try and hold out for longer next time.
So, this last week, unable to stand the withdrawal symptoms any longer, I stopped into a couple of my "locals", ie the op shops that get all my money. I desperately needed a new pair of black boots for Winter – mine are getting very beaten up and scuffed because I wear them to death, and have done for several Winters – so I did actually have a goal and purpose. I wasn't just wandering aimlessly, as I would normally do. Most of the boots in "proper" shops are a.) too expensive and b.) too high in the heel for me. I have trouble finding shoes in general, but finding boots I like is a nightmare.
Almost immediately, I came across these boots, which were nearly new and in great condition , and in my size (which doesn't happen very often). They fit really well and are comfortable so I popped them in my basket (whilst secretly doing a little happy dance).
Next up, I found this cute little handbag. My own bag (sorry about cruddy photo – half of these were taken on my rapidly ageing phone) is VERY ANNOYING because it just won't stay on my shoulder, it sits funny and I am just over it! This one was a perfect size, nearly new and a great colour (pewter goes with everything) so it too went into my basket. My old bag will be donated – I am trying to donate one thing for every other thing I bring in to the house. That way, I don't become an official hoarder.
Then, I found this denim jacket. It fits really well (I'm not skinny but I am petite, and jackets are often too wide with ridiculously long arms!) and I like the distressed detail and zip-up front. It's fitted so isn't too bulky on me, but will be nice and warm for the coming colder months (ugh!).
Another jacket – this time a leather-look one. I did have a nice faux leather one, but it has been worn to death and was starting to fall to pieces, as faux leather will do after a while.
Yes, I did buy another faux leather jacket – don't judge me! This one was so cute and feminine, and super soft. Brand new with tags on still, it only cost $4.50! It's a bit dressier than your run-of-the-mill jacket and I love the detailing on the back (see following photo). Hard to take a picture of, so hopefully you can get an idea of what it looks like. It feels like one of those lovely old leather gloves – so soft!
My friend thrifted this dress (sorry about blurry photo – I am hopeless today) but decided to give it to me. I'm not sure about the bright colours on me, but it fit well so will probably wear it with some opaque black tights and a cardigan, for work.
I wore this one today – a comfy oversized top. Good for this in-between weather that we are currently experiencing. I like the faux suede on the shoulders and fake pocket area. I don't wear a lot of pink but I didn't mind this one as it had the grey/black through it.
A cute little knitted jumper. Not my usual colours, but I kinda liked it and it fits well. I generally wear a lot of dark things so this will make a nice change. It is also very soft and cosy, without being bulky or heavy.
Last, but not least, this jumper. I am going to go ahead and call it the Muppet jumper. Because it looks like someone skinned the Cookie Monster. It is ridiculously soft (I have a thing for soft, apparently) and makes me want to cuddle myself. It's a bit more cropped than I would normally wear, but I'm sure with a high-waisted skirt or pants it will be fine. The lady at the counter charged it as a kid's knit, so I only paid like $2.00 or something crazy. I love it. Have no idea where I will wear it but maybe I will just wear it around the house and stroke myself a lot. Which would be weird. So maybe I won't do that.
So, that's it for now. I tend to get in a bit of a frenzy, where op shopping is concerned. It's a bit addictive so I have to pace myself and remind myself that I am supposed to be de-cluttering and culling. But I have already worn several of these items so I know they weren't frivolous purchases, and many of them were half price so they cost me less than $5.00 each. Not gonna feel guilty about that.
Back to work next week. I'm so sad my time off is over, but I have really needed it and feel somewhat human again after feeling like I was at risk of curling up into a ball under my desk and never coming out. I may well feel like that on my first day back, but at least I will have new boots to help get me through. Shoes are very powerful – just ask Dorothy!

Biografia
Nato ad Hannover al ritorno dei genitori dagli Stati Uniti d'America, Wedekind (discendente dal ceppo familiare Wedekind zur Horst) crebbe a partire dal 1872 a Lenzburg, in canton Argovia (Svizzera), dove il padre Friedrich Wilhelm, ginecologo in pensione, era emigrato come dissidente politico dopo la fondazione dell'impero prussiano-tedesco. Già dopo il fallimento della rivoluzione del 1848 il medico era espatriato a San Francisco, dove aveva sposato Emilie Kammerer (figlia dell'inventore dei fiammiferi al fosforo e dissidente politico anch'esso Friedrich Kammerer).

Wedekind ebbe cinque fratelli: Armin Francis (* 1863, medico e consigliere comunale a Zurigo), William Lincoln (* 1866, possidente e console svizzero a Johannesburg), Frida Marianne Erika (* 1868), Donald Lenzelin (* 1871), Emilie Richenza (* 1876). Parimenti scrittore fu il fratello Donald, mentre la sorella Erika fu all'epoca una nota cantante d'opera. Dall'autunno 1872 Frank frequentò la scuola di Lenzburg, per passare nel 1879 alla scuola cantonale di Aarau. Qui fondò la società poetica Senatus Poeticus assieme a W. Laué, A. Vögtlin e O. Schibler. A questo periodo risale l'epos per bambini Der Hänseken, scritto per la sorella minore Emilie e accompagnato dai disegni del fratello Armin.

Al termine degli studi, lo scrittore si trasferì verso la fine del 1884 a Monaco di Baviera, entrando in contatto con il circolo della Münchner Moderne gravitante attorno a Michael Georg Conrad. Interrotti gli studi di giurisprudenza, a Zurigo, prima di lavorare come versificatore per la ditta Maggi, nel 1887 frequentò il circolo naturalista dei fratelli Gerhart e Carl Hauptmann; cosicché, quando nel 1892 - dopo aver pubblicato il primo capolavoro teatrale Risveglio di primavera - andò a Parigi, dove rimase fino al 1895, Wedekind intese staccarsi con forza dalla corrente naturalista, allora dominante la letteratura tedesca. Nella capitale francese si immerse nel sottobosco umano di varietà, circhi, prostitute e ballerine, scrivendo le prime canzoni, balletti e drammi, ed elaborando la tragedia Lulù. Di questi anni è anche la relazione con Frida, moglie di August Strindberg, da cui nacque un figlio (Friedrich Strindberg).

Tornato a Monaco fondò con Albert Langen e altri la rivista satirica Simplicissimus nel 1896: tra le liriche che egli vi pubblicò sotto vari pseudonimi, una dedicata al viaggio in Palestina dell'imperatore Guglielmo II gli costò sette mesi di carcere per lesa maestà, nel 1899. Quest'episodio contribuì fortemente alla sua fama di antiborghese e di outsider. Dopo anni di profonda miseria economica, tra il 1900 e il 1904 Wedekind si esibì come chansonnier alla chitarra nel nascente cabaret tedesco, di cui fu un grande modello e tra i maggiori ispiratori. Musicista consapevolmente approssimativo, nel corso della propria vita scrisse circa un centinaio di sue canzoni, di cui due terzi su melodie proprie.

Ostracizzato per la provocatorietà estrema e l'anticonvenzionalità stilistica dei propri drammi, raggiunse finalmente il successo nel 1906, grazie ad un famoso allestimento di Risveglio di primavera ad opera del regista Max Reinhardt. Da questo momento, benché colpito a più riprese dalla censura, Wedekind divenne probabilmente il principale punto di riferimento per l'avanguardia monacense e tedesca fino alla prima guerra mondiale.

Sempre nel 1906 sposò l'attrice Tilly Newes da cui ebbe due figlie, Pamela e Kadidja. L'ultimo decennio di vita fu caratterizzato dall'intensa attività come attore per la promozione dei propri drammi, secondo uno stile interpretativo che - stando alle testimonianze - si contrapponeva espressivamente ai contenuti. Il drammaturgo tedesco morì improvvisamente nel 1918, pochi mesi prima della fine di quella prima guerra mondiale, che aveva avversato a fianco di altri intellettuali dissidenti (socialisti e anarchici).

You can download the country rankings for Brazil in a single CSV (well... TSV) file. It is UTF8 encoded and tabulator separated.
Brazil with the capital city Brasília is located in South America (Eastern South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean). It covers some 8,511,966 square kilometres (slightly smaller than the US) with 191,908,000 citizens.
The topography includes mostly flat to rolling lowlands in north with some plains, hills, mountains, and narrow coastal belt. The average density of population is approximately 23 per km². The notable climate conditions in Brazil can be described as mostly tropical, but temperate in south. Possible natural disasters include recurring droughts in northeast or floods and occasional frost in south.
To reach someone in Brazil dial +55 prior to a number. There are 41,497,000 installed telephones. And there are 173,959,000 registered mobile phones. The cellular networks commonly support frequencies of 900, 1800 Mhz. Websites registered in this country end with the top level domain ".br". If you want to bring electric equipment on your trip (e.g. laptop power supply), note the local power outlet of 110/220V - 60Hz.
Green with a large yellow diamond in the center bearing a blue celestial globe with 27 white five-pointed stars; the globe has a white equatorial band with the motto ORDEM E PROGRESSO (Order and Progress); the current flag was inspired by the banner of the former Empire of Brazil (1822-1889); on the imperial flag, the green represented the House of Braganza of Pedro I, the first Emperor of Brazil, while the yellow stood for the Habsburg Family of his wife; on the modern flag the green represents the forests of the country and the yellow rhombus its mineral wealth; the blue circle and stars, which replaced the coat of arms of the original flag, depict the sky over Rio de Janeiro on the morning of 15 November 1889 - the day the Republic of Brazil was declared; the number of stars has changed with the creation of new states and has risen from an original 21 to the current 27 (one for each state and the Federal District).


90-Days to your Nonprofit's GROWTH!
Full disclaimer! I made a mistake on the original Top 10 Tips to Position Your Nonprofit for Funding! Eeek! So, with full transparency I want to make sure you know if you downloaded the Toolkit before September 3rd, 2018!
Special shout-out for the awesome lady who asked me more information about it and brought it to my attention. THANK YOU! I am SO glad you did so I can make sure that everyone has the right information!
Another full disclaimer is that I am not an accountant or a lawyer. Do seek one out for ultimate professional advice on tax-related items.
What I do have is experience working internally at nonprofits and externally as a consultant. I have more than a decade of grant writing experience, and years of grant management experience. But, alas, yes, I did make a mistake!
There was one sentence in the Funding Toolkit that was wrong referring to volunteers. It is now completely up-to-date, so you can re-download the toolkit by clicking here.
So, what did I screw up? What I had in the file is WRONG concerning volunteers being able to get tax-deductions based on their hours contributed to nonprofits.
Volunteers CANNOT be given a tax-deduction based on their hours, but they CAN be given a tax-deduction on a number of other items, such as travel expenses, uniforms, donates supplies etc. as long as the nonprofit is a registered IRS Tax-exempt 501(c)3. Well, and a few additional things that we will outline in this episode.
HOWEVER, all the rest of the document was correct and now the entire document is fully correct. Your nonprofit should keep a log of hours as you CAN use this as a value for matching grants (when they allow you to use an in-kind soft match) and it can go into the overall operating budget of your organization. The feds will not give these individuals a tax-break for their time per se, but they will allow the value of volunteer hours to be considered as a nonfederal in-kind match (which the hours must be documented and show a value).
Your nonprofit should also insert these volunteer hours into your budget to show the REAL cost (although still keep it separated in its own category as you are not paying fringe benefits or have real expenses balanced) of what it takes to run the entire program.
Furthermore, it still stands that tracking volunteer hours and contributions is great to publish on your website. This really accounts for the community involvement with your nonprofit. Also, you can also still give letters to volunteers to showcase their contribution to your nonprofit as it builds morale.
So, tracking time, even though the individual cannot use it for their tax deductions, should be done! If your nonprofit gets a grant for $100,000 and a 20% in-kind match is required (roughly $20,000 value), then the time that volunteers contribute to your nonprofit for that grant can be used as a value. It is that awesome and important! Of course, you need to make sure you use logs or a system to track this time so that you can include it as value. For example, if a volunteer' s time is valued at $20 per hour and they contribute 100 hours to working at your nonprofit, then that is $2,000 that can go towards that $20,000! If you have 10 volunteers at the same value and time commitment, then there is your in-kind match! How cool is that?
One way to look at the monetary value for volunteer time for matching purposes in grant writing it to take a look at the Independent Sectors yearly value breakdown. You can look at the national average or look into the value state-by-state. However, this is a general amount. If you have specialized pro bono assistance, from let's say a lawyer, you will need to base the value of their time on what their fees for services and use that amount.
I have included some sample templates to track time in the Funding Toolkit, so if you have not downloaded it yet, go ahead and do it now!
1) Many individuals are asked to volunteer for projects and give a verbal, "Okay, sure," as there is not a 100% chance that the grant will be funded. However, once the grant is funded they may forget that they verbally committed or that they committed a substantial amount of time. This happens. A signed guarantee on the other hand is really a sign of commitment that is solid and both parties understand the clear expectations.
2) Another reason is that reviewers like to see signed proof in a grant application. If they don't see a signed letter, then they may not take your in-kind seriously, or think that you can realistically achieve the volunteer contribution time.
Going back to tax-deductions. Once again I am not a lawyer!
TRAVEL: Travel expenses for away-from-home when performing services for a tax-exempt nonprofit. These include out-of-pocket round-trip travel costs, taxi fares and other transportation costs, plus meals and lodging.
There are a couple of red flags here. If a primary portion of your trip was for pleasure and only a tiny fraction was for the charity, then it becomes pretty sticky. For instance, if you are taking a month holiday and spend one day at a conference, then you can't write off all your expenses! You could write-off the cost of the conference, but not your travel expenses. The other red flag is if the conference isn't a conference after all, but you are lobbying. Unfortunately, lobbying for your nonprofit is not acceptable for tax-deductions, either!
Gas & Mileage: Staying on the same wave as traveling, a volunteer can also deduct the cost of gas and oil when using their car for nonprofit-related activities. Volunteers use a standard tax-deduction for 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations. Now if you submit receipts for out-of-pocket travel costs and get reimbursed from the nonprofit, then you cannot claim this for your tax deductions! You already got your money back! That would be double dipping.
Meals: The cost of wining and dining possible high-end donors is accepted! But, once again there is a red flag. Your own meal is not tax-deductible. Boo. This is the same in many ways for when you have your own business – pay attention freelance grant writers – that you cannot get tax-deductions for your meals. I know, it's not fair at all. You are probably using the good ole argument that you wouldn't go out to that fancy restaurant, or maybe even just to a local diner, if it wasn't for the donor or possible client. But that's the rule. You can write off the other person's meal, but not your own.
Uniforms: You can write off uniforms or clothing needed to be worn for doing work with that nonprofit. This must be certain types of uniforms that cannot be word for everyday use.
Donated Supplies or Goods: Have you ever donated a couch to a nonprofit's thrift store? Then make sure you know the value of the good or supply and get a receipt! Or maybe you are teaching an art class at a nonprofit that serves youth and are bringing in supplies for the youth art class. This could be a tax-deductible purchase, be sure to keep your receipts!
Other out-of-pocket expenses. Volunteers may deduct other expenses they incur during their volunteer work. For example, board members might deduct unreimbursed phone, postage, and copying charges associated with preparing for meetings.
The nonprofit organization must be a qualified, IRS-recognized charity.
Volunteers must itemize their deductions on their tax return (not a 1040EZ form) to get tax-deductions.
Volunteers must keep documentation of the expenses, such as receipts, logging mileage, etc. This is especially pertinent for expenses that are $250 or more, then you need official documentation.
Volunteers cannot claim expenses that the nonprofit already reimbursed them for – this is essentially referred to as double-dipping.
The expenses must be directly related volunteer work for the nonprofit.
The expenses do not extend to anyone else, such as for family members that accompany them on trips.
When in doubt, visit the IRS.
How to track all this volunteering stuff!
Well, there are some great templates in the Funding Toolkit. Also, I found a really cool app on Turbo Tax that can be used to track allowable volunteer items. So cool!
There you go. Once again, I am NOT a lawyer or CPA, so please consult them when it comes to tax-deductions. Sorry again for the mishap, but I am so glad that it was caught and now I was able to give you even more ideas on what is and what is not considered a tax-deduction for volunteers.
Download the Funding Toolkit so you can access how to track volunteer hours for your nonprofit's grant matching requirements!

Jewish woman's same-sex wedding takes the spotlight in Brazil
By	Marcus M. Gilban	 March 12, 2018 2:49 pm

RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) — A Jewish woman's same-sex wedding ceremony held in an iconic Brazilian hotel frequented by kings and queens has made headlines in Latin America's largest nation.
Some 200 guests attended the lavish nuptials held Saturday at the luxurious Copacabana Palace Hotel, where pharmacist Roberta Gradel and economist Priscila Raab were married under a huppah. Gradel is Jewish and Raab is not.
"And they said 'I do'" read the headline of the Monday edition of Rio's most influential newspaper, O Globo, next to a large photo of the brides kissing under the canopy. Social media in the country were flooded with photos and videos of the couple during the ceremony.
"I am very happy to be able to participate in the overthrow of the wall of prejudice and false moralism that prevented same-sex unions," party planner Ricardo Stambowsky, who was organizing his first gay wedding ceremony, told the local media.
It was the first time in 95 years that a same-sex wedding took place at the Copacabana Palace. It's an iconic art deco masterpiece standing opposite the white sandy Copacabana beach.
Same-sex marriage has been legal in Brazil since 2013 following a National Justice Council decision, which orders notaries of every Brazilian state to perform same-sex marriages. In four years, 15,000 same-sex couples have officially registered to be married, according to the agency. Same-sex unions had already been legally recognized since 2004.
Gradel and Raab followed Jewish wedding traditions, including not seeing each other during the week prior to the wedding and walking in seven circles around one another as a symbol of each one becoming the epicenter of the other's life. Both women also broke a glass under the huppah.
David Alhadeff, a longtime cantor at Orthodox, Conservative and Reform synagogues, performed the ceremony.
"It was not a Jewish marriage because one of the brides is not Jewish, it was a spiritual marriage with a Jewish symbology," he told JTA. "It is very important to welcome the union of two people who love each other, regardless of faith, gender or anything else. I feel very happy and honored to be able to bless a union where love, which should have no boundaries or limits, is sovereign."
Alhadeff is not employed by any synagogue and therefore declared himself to be free to perform any type of wedding, including interfaith and same-sex marriages.
"I follow my perception of what I consider to be the needs of Judaism these days," he said. "The Jewish bride is very tied to the traditions and asked me to reproduce the symbolism of a Jewish marriage because of the importance it had for her."
The first Jewish same-sex wedding ceremony in Latin America was celebrated at a Buenos Aires synagogue, where some 300 guests watched Victoria Escobar and Romina Charur exchange rings at a rite conducted by Rabbi Karina Finkielstein.

1. There are occasions when departments find it necessary to change the number assigned to a course, such as when a revision of the major makes it logical to group a number of courses in a certain series; or to ensure that the numeric order of the courses reflects the order in which students are expected to complete them; or when incremental changes in methodology and content make the level for which it was originally proposed inappropriate; or when several departments undertake a coordinated effort to use a common set of numbers for related courses. There are also circumstances which make desirable a modification in the name of a course, such as when the terminology of a discipline changes, or when the evolution of the course over time makes the original title inappropriate and any credit changes for up to one credit. Occasionally, changes in the number and title are simultaneously required.
In regard to the splitting of courses the Secretary of the Faculty Senate, in conjunction with the Rules Committee, will decide whether the split constitutes a minor or a major course change.
2. Minor changes may be approved without review by any curriculum committee or council. Requests for approval to change the title or number of a course or to designate a course as pass/fail require the approval of the department head, the dean of the school or college, the Dean of the Graduate School (for courses numbered 500-999), the Secretary of the Faculty Senate, and the Provost or designee. There is no official form associated with such requests, but all such requests should be incorporated into or accompanied by a memorandum explaining why the change is appropriate. If any of the signatories whose approval is required believes that the change requested represents a departure from the original course so significant as to warrant review by a curriculum committee and/or council, he or she may stipulate that the course be reviewed by one or more of the curriculum committees or councils that would be involved in the full review process; or the signatory may disapprove the change requested and require that a full course proposal be submitted.
The purpose of the minor course change procedure is to allow flexibility in and development of the curriculum as disciplines and methodologies evolve, but not to circumvent the approval procedures for new courses.

What are the differences between the Royal Family, 'the firm' and 'the institution'?
Harry and Meghan
Wednesday 10 March 2021, 2:16pm
"So, there's the family, and then there's the people that are running the institution... those are two separate things," Meghan Markle told Oprah Winfrey in an interview watched by 11.1m people on ITV on Monday night.
Meghan went on to claim "the firm" has been "perpetuating falsehoods" about the Sussexes.
So what are the differences between the Royal Family and - as Meghan describes it - the people running the institution. Who runs the institution? And what is "the firm"?
The Sussexes were interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in March this year, where the couple took aim at media coverage of them. Credit: Joe Pugliese/Harpo Productions
The institution
"The institution" means the institution of the monarchy and the Royal Family and the business they conduct.The monarchy works in a similar way to a public body or government department, with similar structures and processes.
The Queen is the head of the institution but, as with many organisations, there is a wide array of departments and staff-members too: palace aides and advisers that manage the daily affairs of the royal family, private secretaries that organise the diaries of senior royals, communications teams that manage media-related business, maintenance staff, kitchen staff and of course, there is the now infamous HR department.
When Meghan referred to "the institution" it seems like she was referring to those staff-members who determine the press, PR, and day-to-day agendas of the royals.
The Duchess of Sussex expressed frustration at staff, claiming they:
Failed to contact media to deny negative stories about her which she claims were false
Controlled her movements by taking her keys, passport and driving license and refusing her permission to go to lunch with friends
Refused her help for her mental health problems. Meghan alleges HR said they were unable to help as she was not a paid member of staff
In response to the claims made by the Sussexes in their interview, a statement from Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Queen said: "The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan...
"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members."

In the 2010 film The King's Speech, George VI - played by Colin Firth - says: "We're not a family, we're a firm".
The Queen's father is thought to be the first person to use "the firm" to describe the royal family and the business of monarchy.
"The firm" generally refers to senior royals as well as the staff that work for them.
However, in the Oprah interview, Meghan refers to both "the institution" and "the firm".
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter thinks Meghan was using these terms interchangeably.
Arbiter believes that when Meghan mentioned "the firm" and "the institution", she was referring to the staff that run palace affairs, rather than royal family members.

Additionally, the Queen is said to have appointed a "Firm of Eight" - eight senior royals who she selected to represent the Windsors going forward.
The Firm of Eight includes: the Queen, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince Edward and Sophie, and Princess Anne.
I don't know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.

Who runs the monarchy? The non-royals who run the royal family
Senior royals rely on their own teams of private secretaries who manage their day-to-day affairs. This includes everything from PRs and PAs to pot-washers and IT technicians.
Each senior royal has their own team based around their household (eg. Clarence House for Charles and Camilla or Kensington Palace for the Cambridge). There is famous rivalry between the staff of the different senior royals, with fallouts resulting from teams being fiercely loyal to their royal.
Some of the key players during the Sussexes' time as senior royals include:
Jason Knauf, former communications secretary to the Sussexes and the Cambridges. Mr Knauf reportedly advised Meghan to write the letter to her father that has become the centre of a privacy trial after it was published by the Mail on Sunday.
Jason Knauf Credit: PA
Mr Knauf is also believed to have reported Meghan's alleged bullying of staff.
It is reported Mr Knauf complained about Meghan's alleged treatment of three female staff-members, two of whom he claims Meghan drove out of the royal household.
Mr Knauf now works solely for the Cambridges.
Samantha Carruthers is the former head of HR for the Cambridges and Prince Charles and Camilla.
Ms Carruthers was the first person Mr Knauf took the bullying complaints to.
She is said to have agreed with Mr Knauf that the situation was "very serious". She left the job after less than a year and now works for a bereavement charity.
Away from the Sussexes, other senior staff running royal households behind the scenes include:
Sir Edward Young, the Queen's private secretary and the most senior member of the Queen's staff. He is the most senior point of contact between the Queen and the outside world.
His predecessor was reported to have a salary of £146,000 a year.
The Queen also has nine ladies-in-waiting who assist the monarch in her daily affairs.
Sir Michael Stevens, the Keeper of the Privy Purse, responsible for the financial management of the Queen's household.
Sir Michael manages the Sovereign Grant - the money the Queen receives from the government each year. The Sovereign Grant for 2020/21 was £85.9 million. The Keeper reportedly earns £180,000 a year.
Senior royals
In January last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they would be stepping back as senior royals. But what is a senior royal?
The term has never been officially defined, but it generally refers to the Queen and those high up in the line of succession as well as their spouses. Senior royals are full-time working members of the royal family.
The Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, and Prince William and Kate are all considered the senior royals.

Who calls the shots and who is to blame?
Meghan was clear to stress that she and the Queen have always got on well and she has no issues with the Queen.
However the Duchess of Sussex also claimed a member of the royal family said they had "concerns" over her son Archie's skin colour.
Interviewer Oprah Winfrey later confirmed it was not the Queen or Duke of Edinburgh who had made the comment.
Meghan also took issue that Archie would not be made a prince. She says this means her son isn't entitled to security.
However, Archie is not a prince due to one of the many historic conventions and rules that govern the way the royal family is run and the decisions that are implemented by their staff.
Rules set out more than 100 years ago by George V state that only the grandchildren of the monarch are entitled to prince and princess status - Archie is a great-grandchild. This is perhaps one reason why Meghan isn't focusing anger at the Queen.

The royal family has about 2,000 engagements in a normal year, entertaining around 70,000 guests.
The royals also head their own trusts and charities.
While the royals have some freedom to pursue their own interests and causes - Prince Harry notably set up the Invictus Games for injured soldiers - it is the staff who manage the diaries and help allocate these public duties and engagements to working members of the royal family.

Jack Harper (Málaga, 28 februari 1996) is een Schots-Spaans voetballer die sinds 2019 onder contract staat bij Getafe CF. Harper is een aanvaller.

Clubcarrière

Jeugd
Harper werd geboren in Málaga als zoon van Schotse ouders. Hij groeide op in Fuengirola. Op dertienjarige leeftijd trok hij naar Real Madrid, waar hij zes jaar in de jeugd speelde. In 2014 verlengde hij er nog zijn contract, maar toen de club hem een jaar later wilde uitlenen koos Harper voor een definitief vertrek. Van Real Madrid trok hij naar Brighton & Hove Albion.

Málaga CF
In januari 2017 haalde Málaga CF hem terug naar Spanje. Harper werd eerst anderhalf jaar ondergebracht bij Atlético Malagueño, het tweede elftal van de club in de Tercera División. Met dank aan Harpers doelpunten eindigde de club tweemaal op rij eerste in haar groep. In 2018 promoveerde de club naar de Segunda División B nadat het de dubbele confrontatie tegen Yeclano Deportivo won op uitdoelpunten. Harper stroomde daarop door naar het eerste elftal van Málaga, dat net naar de Segunda División A was gezakt. Hij maakte op 18 augustus 2018 zijn debuut tegen CD Lugo op de openingsspeeldag. Zijn eerste doelpunt voor het A-elftal van Málaga scoorde hij op de derde speeldag in de 0-1-zege tegen UD Almería. Ook zijn overige competitiedoelpunten leverden steeds puntenwinst op: hij scoorde in de 1-0-zege tegen Rayo Majadahonda, in de 1-2-zege tegen RCD Mallorca en in de 2-1-zege tegen CD Lugo.

Getafe CF
Na één seizoen in het eerste elftal van Málaga stapte Harper over naar Getafe CF. Hij ondertekende een contract voor vijf seizoenen bij de Spaanse eersteklasser.  Op 10 augustus 2019 werd hij uitgeleend aan AD Alcorcón, een ploeg uit de Segunda División A.  Zijn uitleenbeurt werd geen groot succes, want hij bleef scoreloos tijdens dertien wedstrijden.

Op 5 oktober 2020 volgde een volgende uitleenbeurt aan FC Cartagena, een nieuwkomer uit de Segunda División A.  Ook daar zou hij tijdens de heenronde zes keer in competitie en een keer in de beker in actie komen, maar niet tot scoren toekomen.  Tijdens de winterstop versterkte de ploeg zich, waarop zijn uitleenbeurt op 31 januari 2021 vroegtijdig werd beëindigd. Op 1 februari 2021 werd hij tot aan het einde van het seizoen uitgeleend aan Villarreal CF B.  Het contract bevatte ook een aankoopoptie, maar deze werd niet gelicht.

In het seizoen 2021/22 volgde een uitleenbeurt aan Racing Santander, een ploeg uit de Primera División RFEF. Zijn eerste doelpunt scoorde hij op 31 oktober 2021 in de uitwedstrijd tegen Real Unión: hij viel tijdens de zeven laatste minuten van de wedstrijd in en legde in de 85ste minuut de 1-2-eindscore vast. Ook deze uitleenbeurt werd geen groot succes. Harper speelde weliswaar zeventien wedstrijden in de Primera División RFEF, waarin hij tweemaal scoorde, maar slechts één keer mocht hij aan een wedstrijd beginnen: op de negentiende competitiespeeldag mocht hij tegen SD Logroñés starten en werd hij na een uur gewisseld.

Ook tijdens het seizoen 2022/23 werd de speler uitgeleend.  Deze keer aan Hércules CF, een ploeg uit de Segunda División RFEF.

Interlandcarrière
Hoewel Harper in Spanje opgroeide, koos hij voor de Schotse jeugdelftallen.

Home Reviews Cowboy Joe Babcock – Swingtown 2018
Cowboy Joe Babcock – Swingtown 2018
This SwingTown album includes brand new songs in the tradition of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys and all those other wonderful pioneers of western swing, cowboy, and country western music.
Cowboy Joe Babcock - Swingtown (CD cover)
Joe Babcock, known as "Cowboy Joe", was born in the small town of North Loup, Nebraska
and developed a love for country western and cowboy music as a young boy. This love
continued through his high school and college years where he played guitar in various bands.
After a stint in the US Army, graduation from college, and two failed attempts at music in
Chicago and L.A., Joe's prayers were answered when he was called on by Tompall Glaser to
come to Nashville where he sang with The Glaser Brothers and Marty Robbins.
However, after 6 years on the road Joe wrote a hit song called "I Washed My Hands In
Muddy Water" and decided to quit the road and do studio work. He co-formed a group called
The "Nashville Edition" and subsequently sang on 12,000 recorded songs with many of the
biggest stars of the day including Elvis Presley. They eventually sang on 184 number 1 songs
as well as scores of top 100 hits.
In 1968 the group joined the Hee Haw tv show as the vocal background group and also did
many solo spots on the nationally syndicated show. Cowboy Joe also sang with the Hee Haw
Gospel Quartet and the Hee Haw Cowboy Quartet, a group he created as a tribute to his
boyhood idols "The Sons of the Pioneers".
Joe also formed his own family singing group "The Babcocks", which included two beautiful

Eddie Murphy is, as usual, hilariously funny in Coming to America, a typically idiotic comedy.
Murphy plays the twenty-one year old prince of the African country Zimonda. Tired of being pampered - he even has a servant to wipe him when he uses the bathroom! - the last thing he wants is the woman chosen to be his wife. She has been trained to be the queen, which means to obey his every command like a pet dog on a leash. He asks if she has a favorite food and she says yes, so he asks what it is. "Whatever food you like," she replies. This conversation continues for several minutes, and they get nowhere. So the prince decides to travel to America and find his queen there.
You can imagine how funny things get from then on. Murphy is one of the best comedy actors around, and this is a terrific example. I can't say this was the most original or realistic film I've ever seen, but that doesn't really matter - it's a grand comedy.

Should I Take My Pet In For Pet Grooming?
You can either take your pet to a professional grooming services or you can do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. In any case, there are many benefits to either of these conditions. First of all, you will want to make sure that the pet gets a regular grooming at home. Secondly, when it comes to cutting the fur or trimming nails, you may want to consider a professional for the job.
For other types of grooming, you may want to seek out the professional to help you. You can always do the pet grooming tasks at home if you would like, but they can be hard work especially if you have a large animal. Since it is so important to make sure your pet is continuously taken care of in the ways of health and personal care, going to a professional is a good option.
A professional groomer will take care of all aspects of your pet's care including cleaning his ears, trimming his nails, giving him a fur cut, and even giving him a bath. These things are all somewhat difficult to do if you are not familiar with how to properly do so. In any case, the professional is skilled at their job and can provide it for a low cost. In many cases, the professional will be able to handle the pet easier and with less of a struggle as well.
Whether you choose at home or professional service to take care of your pets, the bottom line is that your pets gets the help that they need to keep them healthy starting with his/her personal hygiene.


Regional and international stakeholders will come together in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this week for the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Asean.
In its 25th year, the annual conference will see heads of state in conversation with leading academics and representatives from international organisations over key economic challenges surrounding the region.
1. What's on the agenda?
The regional forum aims to address some of the fresh challenges that await South-east Asia as the region continues to establish itself as an important stakeholder in the global economy. Seeking to engage senior decision-makers with leading representatives from the commercial, academic and civil sectors, the meeting hopes to serve as a platform through which greater cooperation can be facilitated.
A key issue to be discussed will be Asean's capability to master the gains of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and lay the basis for more sustainable growth. Another key issue will the evolving regional architecture and Straits Times Associate Editor Ravi Velloor will be moderating a session, titled ""Battling Over Asia's Economic Architecture", on 2 June.
There is also a special focus on how the region can increase the rate of participation for women and girls in the economic sphere. As South-east Asian nations continue to grow in the face of globalisation, it will become ever more crucial for Asean member states to tap into its female workforce and to ensure that economic growth is more equally spread out across all sectors of society.
More than 40 senior political figures from Asean will attend this year's meeting. The list includes Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razik, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung.
The forum would also see the participation of its very own team of youth leaders from the region and beyond, including those in the business sector, such as Yeen Seen Ng, chief operating officer of the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute In Malaysia and Juliana Chan, Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Budding social innovators, who have shaped the world with their unique enterprises, such as Amanda Witdarmono, founder of We the Teachers in Jakarta, Benjamin Galazzo, co-founder and chairman of Bright Foundation in Manila and Hai Nguyen, founder and chief executive officer of Lua Mia in Ho Chi Minh, will be joining in in the discussions too.
Last but not least, be sure to catch key participants, such as Michelle Yeoh, actress and cultural leader, Hans-Paul Bürkner, global chairman of The Boston Consulting Group and Anthony Fernandes, the Group CEO of Air Asia, who will be in town to share valuable insights about their respective industries.
Asean faces a significant challenge from the rise of what has been termed as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which has consequently led to the expansion of new technologies in the commercial sector.
As businesses and enterprises turn towards the use of technology, lower-skilled jobs are increasingly replaced by automation, further contributing to the problem of unemployment.
On the other hand, the WEF's Human Capital Index reveals that most firms in the region are currently facing an acute talent shortage, since a large pool of skilled labour is simply not available here.
Concerns over how businesses and governments can best equip their population with the necessary skillsets to adapt to the changing landscape in this globalised world will most certainly dominate the floors at the conference.
Traditional jobs in labour-intensive industries, say the organisers, have to make way for a new labour force with "stronger social and collaboration skills, unique human traits that go beyond mastering machines" and "a new level of aptitude for working with technology".
4. Why is the WEF focusing on Asean?
Over the years, Asean has successfully established itself as an economic powerhouse in the international arena.
Producing a combined GDP of US$2.5 trillion in 2014, the region, it is estimated to be the seventh-largest economy worldwide when combined and predictions have it that the bloc might even surpass the EU within 10 to 15 years' time.
Having brought together nations from diverse political and economic backgrounds, Asean's cultural diversity has long been one of its most attractive features, lending its market a great degree of vibrancy and dynamism.
The region is also known for its rich bio-diversity and wealth of natural resources, despite the relatively small land mass it occupies – Southeast Asia alone serves as the living space to 20% of all known species in the world and accounts for a quarter of global fish production.
Despite the decidedly gloomy outlook for much of the global economy, economic experts have largely remained optimistic about the prospects of growth in South-east Asia.
The number of consumer households in the region, which totals at around 67 million, is set to double by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world. 7 per cent of global exports, the WEF says, originate from Asean and trade with the United States has steadily risen since 2002, at a rate of 62 per cent.
The region is also home to 227 of the world's largest companies, which have so far generated more than US$1 billion in revenue.
All these are testament to Southeast Asia's allure as a region with boundless economic potential.
5. What are the key challenges that Asean members face?
New digital technologies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution have dramatically changed the way businesses and governments worldwide conduct their relations with each other.
In the face of rapid technological advancement, it is no longer possible for countries to depend solely on labour-intensive, export-based manufacturing for economic growth.
Increasing mechanisation has also reduced the number of positions available in the job market, and disrupted the workings of other sectors in the economy.
Digital literacy amongst the workforce has thus emerged as a key concern for many Southeast Asian nations seeking to prepare themselves for these changes.
Such a development will require a higher degree of collaboration between business and government leaders.
The educational system will also have to be tailored to meet the shifting demands of the global economy.
Whilst the growing number of consumers has propelled Asean into the focal point, its member states will also face the tricky issue of having to keep up "with changing consumer demand", write Ali Potia and Jaana Remes from McKinsey & Company, a global management consultancy firm.
The risk of being left behind in this dynamic and ever-shifting environment is a very serious issue that the region has to tackle if it wants to cement its position in the economic sphere.
Whether Asean is able to mitigate such challenges will be dependent on their ability to adapt and reshape itself in the changing circumstances.

During the restoration process, Mrs. Keyes lived in a little studio apartment on the property behind the home.
I was so surprised when the guide told us she preferred living there and continued even after the restoration of the main house was complete. Maybe the home was open for tours back then, too which would have made it difficult for her to concentrate on her writing.
This tour was really two home tours in one because after we finished touring the main home I shared yesterday, we ended up in the back courtyard area leading to Frances Keyes' studio. If I'm remembering correctly, I think we entered the studio through the partially opened double doors seen in the photo below.
It's hard for me to remember now because I was a little confused at the time why she owned this big, beautiful home but we were being shown where she worked and slept out back. Ummm, I just couldn't quite grasp it until we were actually inside.
The section jutting out to the left is currently a small gift store for the Beauregard-Keyes House and Museum.
When we entered into the studio, the very first thing we saw was this–a beautiful old doll house! Mrs. Keyes had a wonderful antique doll collection so it makes sense she would love dollhouses, too.
I wanted so badly to linger behind and look over every single nook and cranny of this doll house, but the guide barely mentioned it in passing and then ushered us on into the rest of the studio. I hung back anyway and snagged a few pics to share with you.
These pics were taken in a mad rush but hopefully if you love dollhouses as much as I do, you'll get a little idea of how wonderful this one is.
This picture came out a bit blurry (poor lighting and my rushed photography) but the little room is still wonderful isn't it?
I didn't touch the house so these were the only pictures I could get looking in through the areas that were already open for viewing. Looks like the little dollhouse could use some dusting, doesn't it?
I reluctantly left the dollhouse to join the group. Here's a view looking down the length of the studio apartment. It was kind of long and narrow, reminded me of a shotgun house. To get your bearings, you can see the dollhouse off in the distance in the last room. This is where Mrs. Keyes lived, slept and worked in her later years.
Mrs. Keyes' bookshelves, covered with photos of family and friends.
A table nearby displayed some of her books. I purchased Steamboat Gothic after returning home because the cover features San Francisco Plantation, one of the homes we toured while there. I still haven't taken time to read it…have to do that soon.
I was fascinated by Frances Parkinson Keyes' desk. Love, love, love that lamp!
I think back during the time when she was writing her books, writers still wrote their books out by hand, perhaps typing them out later. Does anyone know? I think some writers still do that today, write them out initially by hand.
This manuscript was laying open here on her desk.
Here's a close up in case you want to try reading a little of it. I'm not sure why it has a big X on it. I used to do that when typing up term papers and reports for school. After I had typed a page, I would often put a big X on it so I could remember that one was done. Do you think that's why this has an X on it?
We also saw a display of the large collection of porcelain veilleuses Frances Keyes collected. A veilleuse was a kind of teapot that could be used to keep tea or milk warm using a small votive light. They were often used around bedtime and thus made a nice nightlight, too. Veilleuses are also used and mentioned a fair amount in Mrs. Keyes' novels.
Outside the home, we walked through the beautiful corner garden Mrs. Keyes had restored. The original garden fell into complete disrepair and was eventually bulldozed to build a macaroni factory. Can you believe that?!
After Mrs. Keyes purchased the home, the factory was torn down and the bricks from the factory were used to rebuild the walls of the garden. The design of the current garden was based on the original plans of Madame Merle, the wife of the second owner of the home.
Hope you enjoyed this tour of the studio apartment where author, Frances Parkinson Keyes wrote so many of her novels. To tour any of the other historic New Orleans and Louisiana homes I've featured from my trip to the area, click anywhere on the collage picture below and it will open to the category page where you can access each of those posts.
What a perfectly delightful little home for this lady! I could live there! Well, I'd have to leave my family behind, I guess! It's so much fun to see photos of old places and spot something that I have in my own house. This time, it was the desk lamp — mine is very similar. I also have a veilleuse, but my son accidentally put the bottom part of it (which had gotten separated from the top) into a bag for Goodwill. Oh well! Thanks for sharing!
Rhonda, that's a great lamp…love the green shades. I know you love yours!

My grown daughter has been working on one for the past several summers. and it's been so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Susan, I have never been to New Orleans and I am fascinated by their style of housing which fronts the street, like a commercial building – with no lawn, but which all seem to have gorgeous and expansive 'courtyards' at the back of the property. Very interesting from a design stand point.
Her house seems to be horse – shoe shaped, creating the center courtyard. Was this typical of the homes you visited there? I had noted yesterday that from the old street view picture, the houses all seem so crammed together – just a couple of feet separating them on the sides; yet you posted a picture of a side view of her house. Was one of the neighboring houses torn down?
That dollhouse is incredible! Thanks to you I know it has a Manse style roof. 😉 I love the exterior and the 'antique' bedroom furniture, lol.
Even though her living quarters were considered a studio apartment, the area is quite roomy and sufficient for one person. I wonder if Mr. Keyes ever shared the house with her and maybe then she lived in the larger home. Perhaps it just felt too big for her, on her own.
I've never heard the term veilleuse before, but it's interesting that they've come back into fashion. I like the idea of a bit of light by the bed at night.
When I first noticed the big X on her paper I thought perhaps that was a segment she intended to delete or move. I'm not surprised to hear what you suggested though, and that would certainly make sense as well.
Now I'm interested in learning more about her writings. Great tour. Thanks, Susan.
I know, it really is different. A lot of houses in the historic part of Charleston and Savannah are like that, too. I'm not sure about the horse shoe shape. We only visited a couple of homes in the French Quarter and they both had courtyards. I'm not sure if a house was there originally but the second owners are the ones who made that side area a garden, then later apparently a factory was built there, then it was torn down to create a garden again.
Thanks, Pam! If you find out anything, let me know. Always love learning more about these wonderful old houses.
It still amazes me that Mrs. Keyes chose to restore the main house but kept smaller for herself. I can't remember for sure but I think she did use the main house for entertaining on certain occassions. I do like her quarters though because it offers a wonderful insight into Mrs. Keyes as a writer and lover of all things old. I'm so glad we toured all of these houses together because seeing these places through your eyes (and pictures) gives me a different perspective of the houses.
I hope she did use it for entertaining…love to picture her doing that! Thanks, Linda! I loved the tour!
How perfectly delightful, Susan. You take us on such great "field trips." Always enlightening and interesting, always beautiful. What a wonderful blog friend you are! Thank you.
Lovely home! I noticed a pair of old crutches (not the current kind) in the studio between her bed and the bathroom. Perhaps she had difficulty getting around well and the smaller studio was easier to navigate. When you have physical limitations a smaller area feels less daunting and it allows you to feel more in control of you surroundings. I have seen this with some of my patients in the past. They often squirrel up in a portion of their huge homes when they can not go upstairs etc.
I saw those in the corner, too. I wondered if the steps to the house were just too daunting to navigate on a regular basis.
I absolutely adore that dollhouse too! They need to clean it up, put it on a large custom-made swivel and enclose it in heavy clear plastic to keep it clean and "displayed." I went to a dollhouse museum once and that's what they did, was awesome and very clean then.
That sounds like an awesome idea! It really does need to be preserved. Great idea, Michele!
Thank you for your response to my question about the postcards. I actually found the blog where you had listed several we could read. I am looking forward to reading the new ones.
Gail, what post was that? I don't even remember it. Maybe there's a way to access those old ones again after all.
On August 3rd you blogged that you were going to start postcards from the porch again and invited readers to subscribe. I did and with the confirmation it listed a few back issues that could be read so you would know what it would be like. I found it in my inbox, have read some, liked them and wanted to read more. They were interesting and I am looking forward to reading the new blogs.
Awesome…I didn't know it did that, provided links to past ones. Glad it did! Thanks, Gail for letting me know.
Oh, I love this home. Especially the dollhouse. Several years ago, my sister and I built and decorated a Victorian Dollhouse. It was great fun. We ended up giving it to our friend for a little girl that she wanted to adopt. Unfortunately, she didn't get the little girl but she got a fabulous boy, whom we all adore and couldn't live without him . He's 15 now, hard to believe but, we love him even more.
Our dollhouse was yellow, too! I love how it is all decked out for Christmas!
When I saw the house yesterday I thought it looked so familiar. I attended a wedding in New Orleans two years ago at a church across the street from this house. After the wedding we were lead to this house to tour and were served drinks while the wedding party was taking pictures. Then all 200 of us came out the front doors, down the steps to begin a second line parade complete with a brass band to the reception location. I knew the house was beautiful but because is was so full of people I did not get to spend the time looking at everything. Thank you for posting these pictures and allowing me to take my time and enjoy this beautiful home!!
I was so thrilled to see this delightful post! I have every novel Mrs. Keyes ever wrote and almost all her nonfiction, plus her cookbook. It is the homes in her novels that fascinate me and she has written often in her nonfiction about her own homes. At one time she owned three: the one in New Orleans, one in Virginia called, if I recall Tradition, and the one in New Hampshire where her husband was governor and then Senator. She was an amazing woman, brilliant and world traveler, often under trying circumstances.
Seeing the pictures of her New Orleans home is such a treat for me, visualizing her working there. And yes, she wrote in longhand and a secretary transcribed them. It seemed that these secretaries mostly lived in the houses and were good friends who were needed companions as Mrs. Keyes' health worsened as she grew older and more infirm. I always thought that she really must have been a nice woman to inspire such loyalty for years.
If anyone wants delicious homemaking details her novels are full of them. Of course, these books are a product of their times, which is to be expected.
Thank you so much for visiting the Beauregard-Keyes home for me!
Dewena, you've really made me want to read the one book of her's that I have, Steamboat Gothic. I didn't realize she owner so many homes. I did read somewhere about her husband being a Governor and Senator. Thanks for the info about her writing process, I love those little details!
Susan I loved seeing this home that you recently toured as I have read the life of General Beauregards life and how at the time of the War of Aggression (aka civil war) this territory didnot consider themselves as Americans and the General parents didnot wish him to go to war. He lived here after the war.
Mrs. Keyes history is also very interesting. She became a CAtholic in later life and especially profound to her was her trip to Quebec and visiting St. Anne de Beaupres just outside Quebec City. She had a great love for Jesus's grandmother and wrote about her. I have most of her books and novels. Starting my collection of her books when hardly anyone knew who she was.
I also was collecting at the sametime all the books of Taylor Caldwell.
Thank you again for showing us this home and telling us a little more about the author. I was so thrilled as I knew she wrote a good many of her novels in this house but had never seen it before.
