What a horrible thing!!Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-68942356434168844102012-02-14T17:15:43.166-05:002012-02-14T17:15:43.166-05:00In England, the episode we had Sunday night was th...In England, the episode we had Sunday night was the last of Season 2 and they had to wait for the Christmas special to wrap it all up.<br /><br />I was SO relieved to see that PBS is showing the Christmas episode this next Sunday night so we don't have to wait to see what happens.<br /><br />I have enjoyed this so much. I was just talking to a friend in New Mexico today who hasn't watched it but she was talking about plagues and how they could happen (such happy talk but we met on an emergency preparedness forum, hehehe).<br /><br />I told her about Sunday night's episode and how it was so realistic from what I had been told about the Spanish flu.<br /><br />My father-in-law had it as an infant and ended up dying almost 70 years later because of the way it left scars on his heart (and an infection settled in them).Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.com
