Hi, dear blogger Bae-family. I am going to try to be here on my blog more often. I feel so bad that I have been neglecting it for so long. I am not going to offer any excuses for my long absence. I am just going to do my best to post more, on my blog. I am starting with a montage album that I had previously shared to our FaceBook fanpage, Our Charming Prince: Bae Yong Joon. 

I hope that everyone will enjoy these photo montages. Hugs, family! 

Dear Blog Family, I know it has been a long time since I have posted to this blog. So many things have happened since then (Personal illness, among a lot of other things) that I don't really know where to begin to explain about them all. I apologize for my absence, but that is the way life is, sometimes. We each of us get busy with life's ups and downs and before we know it a good bit of time has gone by and things we would have liked to be able to do have been left undone. I know that some of Our Bae-family members have lost loved ones and that others have seen the births of new family members. Some of the family members have died and new members have joined our ranks. Whether the changes have been good or bad, life has still brought them to Our Family. Human beings need to experience changes in life, because change equals growth and without the potential to grow as human beings, we tend to become complacent about our lives and to stop seeking the growth that we need to survive as human beings. "What does all of this have to do with BYJ and the Bae-family?", some may ask. Well, the answer is simple. No matter how much we may grow apart as individuals, we are still bound together by our common interest in and love for Our Yong joon-ssi. Love is the force which stabilizes our lives and allows us to reach out and grow as people while still remaining anchored to the things that we hold as being important in life; family, friends and all our common interests, including our love for one another and for our Prince, Bae Yong Joon. Love and hugs to you all!

What Family Means (Or Should...)

Whenever we think of family, what does that word call to mind? For many people the term means mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.  Others may feel that their friends are more like family than their 'blood' relations. The dictionary has the meaning as people who are blood-related. To me, the word 'family has a much deeper meaning. It encompasses those individuals who care about you, regardless of time and distance; who pray for you and give you moral support, on a regular basis; not just when they see you, but all the time. The ones who see you as you truly are, and love you anyway, despite your faults and failings. Those are real Family. But, still, every human being in the world is supposed to be our 'family'. It's just that most people don't see things that way, and that is a sad statement, regarding the human race. I am so fortunate as to have such a large 'Family' on the internet; especially Facebook, which is made up of my own children, some of my other 'Flesh+Blood' family members, long-time friends, newer friends and the members of the Bae Yong Joon Family of fans. I have a Family which spans the globe, and bridges so many nationalities, and cultures, but which really comes down to one simple thing; the fact that we all love each other... like Family. The great thing is, our BYJ is the one who made my relationship to the Bae Yong Joon 'Family' possible, because he loves all of our Bae-family members the same way; including me. (can the 'old kid' express herself pretty well, or what?) Love to all BYJ Family members; everywhere. Hugs!

I'm Late...

Hello, dear Bae-Family bloggers. I hope everyone in blogger-land has been doing well. I am a few days late with this posting, due to all of the Thanksgiving festivities, not to mention holiday guests staying over with me. I hope all they Bae-sisters who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful time with their families and friends. This has been a year of change for everyone in The BYJ Family. So many of us here on the blogs have connected on Facebook as well. There have been new Family members whom we've 'met' on FB, and a few connections which have been broken, as well. Overall, we have grown even closer, as an internet Family, and learned so many things together. We have shared laughter, smiles, sighs, news, photos, feelings, sorrow and tears. Most of all, we have continued to share our love for Our Prince, BYJ. He is still the foundation on which Our internet family is built. I feel as though we owe him so much, for his kindness, caring, understanding and love. I, personally, am still struggling with my health; trying to get to a point where I can say I really feel healthy, everyday. For now, I must take things one day at a time, in the struggle to regain some of the feelings of well-being which I have found are really so important in life. But, through all of the things that have changed this past year, one thing has not changed and that is all the love which is shared by Our Bae-Family, for each other, and for Our Prince. The point of this posting is that I am trying to do my part to help that love stay strong. I may not always feel like posting here on this blog, but I still will come and post when there is anything so important it must be shared. In this case, I came here and posted just to say that American Bae Fan is now 3-years old, as of November 26, 2012! Thanks, to all of the people, Bae-Family and others, who have kept this blog from being forgotten, by coming here and 'following' ABF and for not giving up on it or me. Lots of hugs, all! (Anna) 

Back Again...

Hi, Bae-Family bloggers and blog-readers. Well, it has taken me a longer time than I imagined, to get settled into my 'new' place, but I have finally gotten all my belongings sorted out and organized they way I want them, and I've also gotten wired internet service, so I (hopefully, fingers crossed) won't have any more of the kind of trouble that I had before, with my connection. I hope everyone here on the Bae blogs has been doing well. (I need to try to 'catch up' with all the things that are going on with all my blogger Bae-sisters.)

I don't really know where to begin, to try to take up the threads of my own blog and begin posting here once again, but I am going to try to get back in the 'swing' of all things BYJ. I have missed being here. I always have missed it, whenever I was forced, by circumstances, to be absent from my blog and all the dear blog-sisters. I have missed my dear Bae-sister bloggers, too. I have missed all the updates on Our Prince's latest activities, and the clever writing styles of the different blogger sisters who post them. I have missed the close-ness of commenting back and forth with all those nice ladies. I have missed the moral support which is always given from one sister to another, and shared by all, during the difficulties that each one faced from time to time. To me those things are what have made us a family of bloggers and, more importantly, what have made us Bae-sisters.

I want to thank all the sisters who have visited this blog, in my absence, and subscribed to it, and those who are following it, too. My health has greatly improved. since my last posting here, and I hope to be able to continue to come here, often, and post to this Bae-Family blog. I also want to thank any one else who has visited this blog and may have found it to be interesting. I hope that those people will come back and find that my blog is 'active' again. And, I pray that it will remain active, because of my being able to come here and keep it that way.

I have also started a new blog about healthy eating which is called 'The Diet That Works', where I will be sharing tips about my customized eating plan and recipes for healthy, 'diet' meals. I hope my Bae-sisters here on Blogger will check it out and maybe even leave a comment or two. Now I am going to go and do some 'catching up', here on my Bae-sister's blogs. Until my next posting, please take good care, one and all, and lots of hugs, dears. (Anna)

A Long Time Missing...

Hello, dear Bae-Family. I am not going to try to apologize for not posting to this blog for a very long time, now. I will just say I have had so much going on in my life (moving to a different apartment, trouble with my WiFi internet connection, and personal illness), which has kept me from even visiting American Bae Fan, much less writing any posts here. I have missed being here among the other blogger family members, and reading all the wonderful blog-posts which I know they wrote and posted in my absence. I have been fortunate to be able to stay in touch with many of our Bae-family members on Facebook, from time to time, but even that was limited by the problems which I listed above. I love all Our blogger Family members, and the Bae-Family who read these blogs, very much. I am glad I have a chance to post here once again. I would like to thank all of Our Bae-Family who 'friended' me on Facebook, and who joined the 'Our Charming Prince: Bae Yong Joon' Family/Fan page there: http://www.facebook.com/byj.fans
I am proud to say that the page had gone over the 850 member mark as of the end of July, this year. (That is a good number of members on a fan page which is not even two years old, yet.) Of course, I couldn't have kept Our fan page going without the help of my co-administrator, Bae-sis Chestener Gorden. She is a dear lady who worked on 'OCP:BYJ' alone, during the times when I was too ill to be there. And she has kept things going there, just recently, while I was taking some time off, to visit with my own family. I feel that I owe her so much, but I doubt that she would agree with me about that. Anyway, I am going to try to be here on this blogsite more, and do more things here for our dear Bae-Family members, because I feel as if I have been neglecting a great duty by not coming here and posting things about Our BYJ for the Family to enjoy, and write comments about the things I post. I hope all our dear Bae-Family members understand about the circumstances in our daily lives that can, so often, keep us from doing the sort of things we feel we should be doing for those we love. It's like moving away from our flesh-and-blood family members, and not getting to see them as often as we would like. We love and miss them but we can't always do something about it. Well, I am going to try to do something about this blog of mine, and I want the Bae-family members to feel like this is their blog, too, and to post comments here and enjoy the things I post here, too. I love you, my dear Bae-Family members who have been faithful to visit this blog, and all the other Family members who may one day visit here, too. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. And, a special thanks to Our Charming BYJ, for bringing us all together as a Family, in the first place. Hugs, dears!

And A...

My dear BaeFamily, I want to take this time to reflect on this year which has passed by so quickly. I know some of our Family members have lost loved ones, or been unwell (like I have), and I am sorry knowing these things. I also know a few have had family who have gotten married, or had children, and I am glad for them for their times of joy. Some have had family members who left home, or who moved back home. Some have even had family as long term house guests (I have that happening here, now), and some have become re-acquainted with long-lost friends or relatives. With all these changes going on, there are two very important things which haven't changed: the love of our BaeFamily members for each other, and our love for Our Prince, Bae Yong Joon.  In this rapidly changing world, I am glad that some things do stay the same. As an international Family, we all know the importance of staying in touch, giving moral support, love and understanding, to our sisters, our brothers and Our BYJ. It is this kind of love which has created the kinds of bonds we have as the Family of Bae Yong Joon. I would like to thank all of my lovely BaeFamily members for their love and caring this past year, and to wish all of you the very best of all good things in the coming months. Happy New Year, all my dear BaeFamily, all around the world!!! Lots of love, dears! -Anna- (A special thank you, to Arayo, for the lovely calendar photo.)

A Very...

Dear BaeFamily, I know I haven't been posting very much or very often here on ABF, but I had to come here tonight, just so I could wish Our Charming Prince, and all our dear BaeFamily: 메리 크리스마스, メリークリスマス,  สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส,  圣诞节快乐,  聖誕節快樂, Maligayang Pasko, Selamat Hari Natal, Selamat Hari Krismas, کریسمس مبارک, मेरी क्रिसमस, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, and a very Merry Christmas!!! I hope all our Family and their loved ones share a lot of love, laughter, happiness, joy, good times, and many family traditions this holiday season. I and my family hope to be enjoying our own special joys and traditions this year, as usual. I have much for which to be thankful; family, BaeFamily, good friends, and many blessings. I hope everyone in our Family can say the same thing. Take care and be well, all my lovely Family around the world. Lots of love, and hugs!!! <3!!! Anna

Well, Look Here...

Dear Family,
I must apologize for my too long absence from this blogsite. I have not had very much access to the internet for many months, but it is good to be back among our blogger Family members once again. I know this comes a bit late, but I am proud to announce that as of November 26, 2011 I have been a BYJ blogger for 2 years, now! I can't believe It's actually been that long already. Oh, how much I have missed everyone of you and your wonderful blog postings and comments. It's amazing that another year has nearly come and gone. I hope our charming prince had a great birthday. I also hope that all of the Baesisters who celebrated Thanksgiving had a special time with all their families. And that everyone in our dear Family has had a good and blessed year, so far. I also hope everyone is making some lovely plans for Christmas, Hanukkah, and all other celebrations this season. My family and I have many activities planned for our holidays. It is wonderful to me to be posting this here on my blog after so much time away. I hope all our family have been well during my absence. I love you all very much. Anna

Hello?...

Dear Baefamily, I must apologize for not having posted here on this blog for several months. I have had so many personal matters with which I have had to deal, and I also suffered a time of illness during which I was hospitalized twice within one month's time. I am much better now, so we won't talk about that. When I wasn't sick, I was working on something that I had mentioned in a previous blog posting, which I had said was a kind of dream of mine. I have been busy connecting my blogger BaeFamily with my other internet families; all through the 'magic' of Facebook. While I was busy doing this, I found that there are hundreds and hundreds of lovely BaeFamily members on FB. And not just Baesisters, but Baebrothers as well. they are all so kind and loving that I have grown to love them all very much. I now feel as though my Families truly reach around and embrace the whole world and me with it. I have never known that kind of love in all my life, but I am so very glad to be experiencing it now, when I am finally at a stage in my life where I can truly appreciate it, and all the people who have given it to me, and to each other. And the best part is that it is all because of one person who has that kind of love for everyone, and has helped us all find a kind of family affection which might never have been possible without his gentle influence. Our Charming Prince, BYJ, has helped us to build many bridges of love that really do span the globe, and he is the engineer who made the plan for their construction, with his selfless love for all mankind and his desire to have the largest Family in the world. But, I can't forget the willing and loving hearts of all our BaeFamily, who took that love he gave and helped spread it around the world. Thank you, Family, for being so kind and loving, and for taking up the dream of Our Prince, and sharing it with others, especially me. Love to all Family, everywhere. <3

And A...

Dear BaeFamily,
As I look back at this year, I find myself thinking about all of the various changes which have occured in our Family; so many new Family members whom I have found and friended on Facebook; Joys, sorrows, and experiences which we have shared here in these blogs; the anticipation of new things to share in the near future; the hope for happiness and good things happening within our BaeFamily. As this year draws to a close, I want to wish a very, very Happy New Year, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you and your families. May love and peace be yours in the coming year, and may our bonds of family and friendship continue to grown and strengthen as the year progresses. Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna

Have A...

Hi, dear BaeFamily. I have not posted on this blog very much lately, but I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish all of our dear Family 메리 크리스마스, メリークリスマス, สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส, 圣诞节快乐, , 聖誕節快樂, Maligayang Pasko, Selamat Hari Natal, Selamat Hari Krismas, کریسمس مبارک, मेरी क्रिसमस, Feliz Navidad, and Merry Christmas! I hope Our Charming Prince and everyone in the BaeFamily has a wonderful time with their families on this holiday weekend. God keep you all
safe and well. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna

Well, Well,Well...

Hello, dear Family.
It is hard for me to believe a whole year has gone by since I set up this blogsite and wrote my first posting as a Baeblogger, but I know it is true! So much has happened since then, I couldn't begin to write about it all here in this posting. I have been privileged to become acquainted with so many BaeFamily members and share in their joys, tears, hopes, dreams, and even some of their fears. And I have also laughed, cried, hoped, dreamed, and feared along with them all. Through all of these things I have grown on both an emotional and spiritual level, and, most importantly, I have learned what it means to be a part of this amazing Bae Yong Joon Family! I am grateful for being able to be a Family member, and to 'know' all of the other Family members here on Blogger, as well as several other blog hosting websites. It is hard for me to contain the joy and  excitement I am feeling as I sit here in Tennessee (USA), on this chilly, rainy morning of 26 November, 2010, writing all of this, in celebration of my first anniversary as a BaeFamily blogger!!! I would like for the whole Family of Baebloggers to share this happy occasion with me, just as we have shared so many other experiences throughout this past year, and I hope everyone will.
As I shared Thanksgiving festivities with my family, yesterday, I thought about all of the things for which I was, and am, thankful. This wonderful Family of ours was very close to the top of my list; right after my own family and a few close friends. That is how important being a part of all this has become to me. Thank you to all of our Sisters (and maybe even a few Brothers) for allowing me to belong. I can't begin to put into words all of the emotions I am feeling right now. I can only say thank you, again. Love to all Family, everywhere, especially Our Charming Prince, who made it all possible in the first place. (Hurray!!!)

A Holiday Wish...

Hi, dear Family.
As I will probably not have an opportunity to post anything here for the next few days, I would like to take the time, now, to wish all of the American Family a Happy Thanksgiving! And to send special greetings of love and support to all of the Asian Family during this difficult time of conflict and tension between South and North Korea, which is obviously having far-reaching consequences around the world. At a time when so many are preparing to celebrate the Christmas season, such tensions can not be, and are not, an easy thing with which to deal. Still, we will remain strong as a Family, in spite of whatever difficulties we may face, because we have our love for each other, and our mutual love for Our Charming Prince who gives us all so much love in return. (In the words of sis Myoce, 'BaeFamily fighting'!) My prayers are with all of the Family, worldwide, and especially those in South Korea and so many neighboring countries there in Asia. I may be half a world away, but my heart is there with you all, in hopes that you will continue to have a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Again, Happy Thanksgiving! Love to all family everywhere. Anna

So Many Things...

Hi, dear Family.
In the past few weeks I have noticed so many things going on within our BaeFamily; not just with Our Charming Prince, but with our Baesisters as well. The tragedy of death, the miracle of new life, moving from one home to another, traveling because of a job, starting a new website, overcoming difficulties of one sort or another; just living life in general. Having Birthdays, Anniversaries (marriage, blogging, and other kinds), meeting new friends (on the internet as well as in person). Finding our Family members in unexpected, but exciting places (Youtube, Facebook, etc.). It is all a part of living, and learning, which is a very important part of life itself. Without the hard things in life, we would obviously not appreciate the joys, laughter and happiness we are able to share with our Sisters. It is good to know they are there to help us deal with the sorrows as well.
As we Family in The States get ready for our Thanksgiving holiday, I am looking back on the last couple of months with mixed feelings. Sorrow at the loss of people who were important in my life; several of whom I was priviledged to call friends. Joy at the birth of babies (welcome to the Family, little Edward). The love of newly met BaeFamily members by the dozens. All of these things have helped me to grow as a person in many ways. I am sad for all those who have recently suffered losses of family members, I am happy for those with new family additions, and I am grateful to the Facebook sisters I have met, who have helped me feel even more a part of this wonderful BaeFamily. God bless you all, as the holiday season begins, and also throughout the rest of this year and beyond. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna

A Nice Discovery...

Dear Family,
I have discovered a wonderful thing; a lot of our Baesisters also have Facebook accounts! I am happy to find that they do, and I have sent out 'friend' invitations to as many of them as I could find on Facebook. I have also been priveleged to join several BYJ Facebook sites. All of this is thrilling to me, because so many of the other friends in my life are also members on Facebook, and this could mean I may be able to connect my two separate networks of friends into one group by suggesting they 'friend' each other. I know many of my 'non-BYJ Family' friends would be eager to do that. To them any friend of mine is someone worth having for a friend. They always accept my 'friend' suggestions. I know many of my BYJ Family would be willing to 'friend' others on my recommendations, too, because they trust me and love me, and they know I love them, too. There are still a couple of the Family who may not have accepted me as Family, yet, but I still love them just the same. I am asking all the sisters, who are on Facebook, and who haven't yet accepted my invitations, to please do so. It would mean a lot to me. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna
(My real name is Anna Daugherty, and I'm not worried about anyone knowing that, because there are a lot of  'Anna Daugherty's' in Tennessee, so I am just one of many!)
(Special note of thanks to sisters BB and Myoce who have accepted my invitations.)

Hello?...

Dear BaeFamily,
I know it has not been two weeks since I last posted here on my Baeblog, but I have missed my sisters so much in the last few days that it has made me realize I have come to a point where I feel that communicating with my various internet Families will do more toward helping me recover from my grief than simply trying to deal with it alone, at this point. There may be some who do not understand this. That is fine. There are others who will see what I mean. That is fine, too. None of that changes the way I feel about my dear BaeFamily and Our Charming Prince. (Please believe me when I say I still cry every time I think about my friend, Zac. And I still can see his smiling face so vividly whenever I think of him, but he was always a very happy person with a positive outlook on life, and I believe he would not want me to shut myself off from friends and family in prolonged grieving for his sake. He tried to love everyone  and wanted all his friends to be happy. That is part of what I loved about the boy. That, and his loving respect for others. Sounds a lot like our Yong Joon-ssi, doesn't it?) Take care, dears. Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna
(RIP, Zac, and thank you for your unwavering friendship, son.)

A Short Break...

Hi to all of the dear BaeFamily,
I am sad to be posting this message on my blog. My son and I suffered a terrible loss, early Tuesday morning. A dear friend of the family was tragically killed while walking to work. It is hard for me to write this, but I did not want anyone to worry if I did not post here or comment on any of the blogs. I am going to take a bit of time off, in order to deal with the loss of a young man who was like a son to me. I am sorry this posting is off topic, but I just can't do any blogging right now. (Be assured that I will still read the other sister's postings from time to time.) I don't know how long or short my absence will be. I only know the pain I am feeling right now. Thank you all, my dear Family, for your understanding. And, thank you, in advance for any comments. Take care, and be well. Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna

I Am Sorry...

Hello, Family.
I hope all of you are well on this hot and beautiful 'high' summer day.

I am posting this, today, because I have come to a sad realization. I have just been fooling myself. I have wanted to believe that I have been a welcome part of this Family, and, to some of the blogger Family members, I have. I am thankful and grateful to those few. (You dear ladies know who you are.) (I understand that many are busy with their own lives, yet many of them take the time to acknowledge other sister's comments. Why not mine? What have I done to offend them? I really want to know. In fact, I feel I have a right to know, so please, won't some of you tell me?)

I know I am still a relative newcomer  and outsider to many of the Family, but I also know I love Our Charming Prince as much as anyone else who posts these blogs. And, I also know that I am a BYJ Family member in good standing. All I had to do to achieve that status was to sign up as a Family member on The BYJ Official site, because he welcomes and loves everyone; no matter who they are or their country of origin.  (The concept is, after all, "Humane Living", isn't it? To truly try to love everyone in the world.)

It just saddens me to know I have, pretty much, with few exceptions, been banging my head against a wall, here, hoping for acceptance. The thing is, I am here to stay, for as long as this is the direction in which my life takes me. From my viewpoint, that will be a long time. Acceptance is good, and desirable, but not always given. Still, I have learned a valuable lesson from the great Martin Luther, who founded the Lutheran Church. When he was shunned and ridiculed by his peers, he wrote:

"They drew a circle and shut me out;
Heretic, rebel; a thing to flout.
But, love and I had the wit to win,
We drew a circle, and took them in."

So, you see, I will still continue to love all of the BaeFamily, all around the world; regardless of how they see me, or what they think of me. (I don't have to know them personally; I just have to believe the same way as Our Yong Joon-ssi.) I am sorry if this offends anyone, but I must speak my mind, here. And, Josephine, dear, before you or Tamar say anything, in your direct, but always refreshing and always welcome manner, thank you, both, and thanks to the other few sisters for showing me your kindness and sisterly friendship. It is very much appreciated.

I could say more, but I won't. I would just like, please, for the sisters to read this, and think about what I've said. (I know I don't post comments on all of the sister's sites. Please forgive me if this fact has offended any of you bloggers. It isn't because I don't love you; it is because you often blog about topics which don't interest me. That is just my preference, and has nothing to do with any of you, personally. Your tastes in entertainment, and celebrities are fine with me. Just, please understand if I don't share them. It is great that you all like the singers and actors that you do like. I say, more power to you. I have my other favorite celebrities as well. I am a huge Ko Yu-Jin fan, though I doubt there are many of those here, besides me. That's fine, too. I like reading the different postings about celebrities besides Our Charming Prince; although the ones about him are the most special to me. Those blog posts have helped me gain a greater appreciation for all of the talented Asian celebrities out there whom I have not yet discovered. (A special 'thank you' to all of the Kim Hyun Joong fans.) Whoever you sisters like and admire, I will be like I told sister bb; be yourselves and like whom and what you like, and I will cheer and applaud you. And I will say 'you go, girl!")

Again, a special, heartfelt thank you to the sisters who have taken me into their hearts as a member of this dear Family that means as much to me as my own flesh and blood family, or any of my other friends. Take care, and please know I didn't write any of this to hurt anyone here; but only because I have been hurt and I had to make my feelings known in the matter. (Perhaps some of the sisters have not consciously ignored me, but I really don't know. To any with whom this may be the case, my apologies.) Take care, and be well, everyone.

Love to all family, everywhere.
Anna

PS: If anyone wishes to comment on this blog, they are still always welcome, but I probably won't be doing much commenting on other blogs. Not for now, anyway. A.

Here We Go Again...

Hi, dear Family,
I am sorry I haven't posted here in a few days. My laptop computer crashed 5 days ago and I had to get a friend to help me restore all of it's programs.
I wrote a posting for one of my other blogsites, 'Something Rather Unusual', a few days prior to 'the crash' which dealt with the fact that many people were always asking me about the Avatar I had here and on my 'Facebook' account. I explained about that Avatar in that particular blogposting. Anyone wishing to read it can find it on the blogsite mentioned above.
Well, I changed that 'Facebook' Avatar because I got so many questions and comments about it. I put my favorite BYJ picture in its place:

Now people keep asking me about this picture, too. I am always getting e-mails from female friends who want to know who the 'handsome guy' is, where did I get this picture, and so on. I am not surprised by this, because Our Charming Prince will be popular and admired wherever he is seen, no matter which photos, videos, TV series, or movies with him in them, that people see. 

I don't mind answering questions about this pic the way I minded about my other Avatar. (That one is a long story and it is hard to keep telling it over and over again.) If people want to know about Our BYJ, I just give them the 'American Bae Fan' URL and tell them to check it out and all of the other Baeblogs as well. That is so much easier to do than to keep relating the same story on and on. It makes me very grateful to have this blog and to have access to all of the other BaeFamily sites, as well. Thank you, sisters, for having these blogs. You, and they, are all very much appreciated.  Take care, and be well, all BaeFamily everywhere. 

Love,

Anna

(Note: I also have this picture as my laptop's desktop background, so I can look at Our Charming Prince the first thing in the morning, after I log on to my computer. What a beautiful way to start the day! Sigh.)
