Jane Austen!!


I am reading my first Jane Austen book
Emma, but I have to use a dictionary, not just
any one as the newer ones dont seem to have
a lot of the words, which of course don't get used
nowadays, in them. It is so funny as the dictionary
is much bigger than my book. But it is very
challenging for me to read with all those
old fashioned ways of saying things in very old
English. But am enjoying it a lot.

I've got a Jane Austen quilt pattern and I wonder which would be easier to do.....read the book or make the quilt. I hope you get to the end of the book with all those words we don't use these days and enjoy the experience.
