And I actually did listen to The Help last month. You are right - it was quite an experience. Those actresses did an amazing job.<br /><br />Lisa and Robb -<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I actually did realize it was fiction. No judgment of Nick and Nora here. :)<br /><br />Joe -<br /><br />I'll bet you have a wonderful accent. <br /><br />Talon -<br /><br />Don't you love that painting? I should have turned my flash off though. I love the hallway at Georgia Public Broadcasting - there is new art there all the time.<br /><br />I remember now that you said your mom has a British accent - I'll bet it is lovely.<br /><br />Jannie -<br /><br />I admire the fine artists, too - I am a stick figure kind of gal myself. :) Sorry your server is down - I keep seeing that around other parts today.<br /><br />xo<br /><br />Ellis -<br /><br />Yep - I've got a bit of a twang myself. Not so much as when I get around my cousins in Macon, Georgia. It comes out more then. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-17613721428808920312010-06-09T12:22:43.770-04:002010-06-09T12:22:43.770-04:00Accents are so funny.

It is read by three readers and it is a wonderful story.

I guess the British influence still persists after all this time.<br /><br />Listening to this book, it amazes me how much alcohol is consumes by everyone.

I met a recovering alcoholic just this week and found his self-awareness, gentleness, humor and humility refreshing. :)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.com
