And, oh Gigi, how I loved when you described those perfect 15 minutes when you imagine another life. That is so very, very like Jeffrey and I. Not that the life we have isn't wonderful, just that it's fun to dream, and to dream side by side. <br /><br />Gigi, I think these pictures are your best yet.

I was driving through many old English villages today looking at some really old Medieval and Tudor houses. <br />I love the one that looks like the house from ' Psycho'. They are one of my favourite American houses.<br />I'm so glad that you and Todd had a lovely day and I'm sure Todd says that every year because he has spent his birthday with you.
