Diana Gabaldon sent me this lovely gift basket of dates from the Sphinx Date Co. in Scottsdale, AZ, where she lives. Wasn't that sweet of her?
The card reads, "Dear Karen, Happy Holidays! (And thanks for everything!)"
The dates look yummy and I'm sure I'll enjoy them very much. <g>
Thank you, Diana!! And Merry Christmas!

My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! I started this Outlandish Observations blog in August, 2008, long before anyone knew there would be a TV series. Things have changed a great deal in recent years, but one thing we all have in common is our love for these books and characters and this amazing story that Diana Gabaldon has created.
