I just received the invitation to join this group in my mailbox yesterday and thought, "What a nice way to start the new year and end the old." I live in Virginia, and am a student of all things Regency (and Jane, of course.) Towards that endeavor, I created a few blogs. I hope this group will keep me honest and prevent me from making too many mistakes as I write about The Regency Era!!

I work in adult education, once painted watercolors for a living, and am obsessed with my dog Cody. Speaking of which, I must walk him and then dress for work. I am looking forward to chatting with you in other threads.

Oh, oops, you already have introduced yourself. How silly of me. Welcome to the RSA boards, Ms. Place, we are always happy to welcome the follow-regency obsessed with open arms.

Feel free to post links to your blog too, so people can link through and read your wonderful content.

Again, welcome.

You have so much information there. Very nice.
