I'm so glad the ending was a happy one in this last season, and am eager for Season 3 to begin.<br /><br />I know what you mean about roots...all those people whose genes we carry, who were they, what kind of lives did they lead, what were there character traits, what did they look like, and how to we resemble them and in what ways...it's amazing to think about and wonderful when little tidbits are known about them.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-44253849260946078062012-03-09T11:00:35.244-05:002012-03-09T11:00:35.244-05:00So now I wanna watch "Downtown Abbey" an...So now I wanna watch "Downtown Abbey" and make soda bread!
