Also, I feel like Mary might have a little more admiration for Edith when she discovers her secret. I am a big fan of Kate. She's adorable.

I loved so many of the story lines from Carson & Mrs. Hughes to Mosely as PI finding Mr. Bate's alibi to Rose coming into her own and melting the cold heart of her new father-in-law. I felt like there were no gratuitously nasty or tragic episodes as there have been in some other finales. It was nice to have most everything and most everybody be happy. i know, I'm such a sap.Mocadeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151014508656606795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-62606177465853751622015-03-06T15:32:03.024-08:002015-03-06T15:32:03.024-08:00Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................should I be worried or jealous?????

How fun! Blogging opens so many doors and creates connections, doesn't it? I had a feeling we have the same "ex" and now there is proof. When George Clooney's name and my husband's Scott showed up on my blog cloud tag-with the same number of mentions-I knew I had to cool things off. ;) LOL!<br />Happy Weekend, Katie!!<br />xx, Heather Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-52121780026997171902015-03-06T08:15:39.288-08:002015-03-06T08:15:39.288-08:00Katie, I always chuckle when I read your posts;) D...Katie, I always chuckle when I read your posts;) DA.. love it and have not yet see the final episode........ can't wait.

Re/ that continuous snow, I guess the best remedy is to leave for a vacation to a warmer place if possible? We've had so much sunshine and no snow .. we will pay for that this summer with try river beds and brush fires. Next year Mother Nature will turn on us ..

I really hate that next season will be Maggie Smith's last one, but she explained that it was only logical because given the time span portrayed by now she would have to be at least 110 years old. The best moment for me was in the first season when they were seated at dinner and Matthew mentioned having free time on the weekend and she said, "What is a weekend?" Anyone else wonder where they are going with Thomas Barrow's character? He seems to be growing a heart.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245655613353027615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-12672359817619995052015-03-06T04:57:03.161-08:002015-03-06T04:57:03.161-08:00Oh Downton Abbey, sigh, I could not believe it whe...Oh Downton Abbey, sigh, I could not believe it when the announcer said Season 6 coming in 2016...seems like forever away!

I'm also ready for Bates and Anna to be happy, have a baby, or something other than the Mr. Green storyline. I'm so glad they resolved the issue this season. I was afraid they would carry it on into next season. I love that everyone has figured out and knows Marigold's parentage except Mary. Mary really should be nicer to her sister, but maybe she would if Edith would just get on with it and slap her (just kidding)!<br /> I do like what Lord Grantham told Atticus' father about Rose after she saved him. <br /> My favorite scene, however, was Carson's proposal to Mrs. Hughes. I could see their relationship developing (remember at the end of last season they walked hand in hand into the ocean waves). But, the proposal this season was definitely a shocker for me. Well, I'd better stop now. I could go on and on about the story line. I love Downton Abbey. Can you believe the ringtone for my iPhone is the opening Downton Abbey theme music (lol)?!Karen T.http://att.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-6124557052324528422015-03-05T20:33:23.900-08:002015-03-05T20:33:23.900-08:00You got it because then on our "off six month...You got it because then on our "off six months," we can have the Dowager to keep us in line.

It seems like the writers are trying to think of every single controversial thing in our society and somehow work it into fitting in with the 1920's. Now Anna suddenly reveals being abused as a child and slashing her stepfather? We've had the race issues, out-of-wedlock issue, war issue, "Thomas" issues, women in the workplace issues, infidelity issues and now the mixed religion issue. <br /><br />I Suwannee, it's like an old-fashioned Jerry Springer show! Can't they just all sit around and have tea and pithy conversation?<br />Leslie Anne Tarabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196752637270349443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-31942782752390518022015-03-05T13:47:06.651-08:002015-03-05T13:47:06.651-08:00Perhaps Lori, we could share Carson.

I know; I am a baby. It will be 60 this weekend. Praise the Lord.<br /><br />Speaking of babies, Mary can start being nicer to Edith when Edith stops being such a put-upon baby. I will say that she is better than at first. I hope to see Edith grow more into her own next season; she seemed to really start to figure out her role in the last two episodes. While I love Mary, I do think she needs to reign in her snarkiness. <br /><br />Finally! Carson and Mrs. Hughes get a clue. Loved it. I would love to have a Carson in my house. <br /><br />I heard a rumor that Allen Leech was cast for another season...we'll see.<br /><br />The best line in the finale,: "She'll love him forever if he will let her." Said by Lord Grantham about Lady Rose after Rose saves her father-in-law's hindend from being humilated by his mistress and child. <br /><br />I think I may be the only person who loves it when Thomas gets on a mission. He and Lady Mary should team up to take out uppity butlers more often. Seriously funny! <br /><br />The whole Green storyline needs to go away. I am over it. Bates and Anna need to get happy and be content.<br /><br />And, of course, the Dowager Countess cannot be beat!!
