Not QUITE so much fun this week, as an era we won't see again has gone with Queen Elizabeth II. I've always adored her, a model of grace, discretion, kindness, morality, duty, and a steadfastness that lasted all her life in a world that is--not usually those things. Not to mention corgis and tiaras, and marmalade sandwiches with Paddington! She worked until two days before she was gone, and now I hope she is riding free on her beloved horse Burmese with her "strength and stay" Prince Philip, her parents and sister, and all those corgis. You did it well, Ma'am, and we will miss you.
