Some Mohawk walked by with a priest, and then Ian showed up with his friends from Anauka.   I think it was &quot;An Echo in the Bone.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Diana,
I recently read something about people who were fans of Outlander who&#039;d never been fans of such before.  I&#039;m one of them!  Totally addicted.  Busy with several family businesses and a large extended family, my only screen time with rom-com&#039;s on Netflix while ironing (the kind you can easily leave and come back to without missing anything).  Then I ran out of them and found Outlander.  Then, I stopped ironing . . . Totally addicted!   I watched many episodes of seasons 1 and 2 multiple times.  Oh, what I went through to watch Season 3 on W Network in Canada.  So many other shows are repeated multiple times but in Nova Scotia it comes on Sunday at 10pm then repeated a few hours later.  A time when sometimes the responsible mother in me is helping a son complete his (late) homework or trying to get him to bed. (So I didn&#039;t see the battle of Culloden)  Another time the power went out half way through so I didn&#039;t see Willie conceived.  Another time I stayed up til 3am because I confused the start time (its advertised as ET and we are AT).  Then Oak Island Season 5 started - it starts at 11pm before Outlander finishes at 11.15.  I had to choose between Outlander and seeing our employees and trucks involved in the hunt for Oak Island&#039;s treasure.  Oh my.  I would try to find snippets on line after . . . but many of the official Starz ones are blocked in Canada and W doesn&#039;t show near so many!  (I don&#039;t really use social media).  
However, I am still alive!!   
Now season 3 is over - to fuel my addiction - I have started on the books and I just love reading them, I love that I can visualize the characters from watching the show.  I enjoy the humour in them and I feel that my hubby and I love each other as Claire and Jamie do.  
In short:  Thankyou.  I love Outlander!
Best Wishes for 2018.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Rita--

   No, I&#039;m afraid I can&#039;t come to Fergus this year; it&#039;s going to be a very intense year, working on BEES, and I really can&#039;t go anywhere that I&#039;m not already committed to going.

    Best,

    --Diana]]></description>
