My pleasure! So glad you decided to read it. I agree with your assessment on Severus here; I normally prefer more build-up, but I had already taken too long to finish it (it was a birthday gift for Karelia, LOL!). Maybe someday I'll finish it the way I'd originally intended.  :-)  Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

LOL - That was a special line for Karelia, since this story was written as a birthday gift for her.  Karelia makes the most AMAZING homemade cheese I've ever tasted!!  But you're right - it does sound quite Dumbledorish!!

Thank you so much!  It was a bit unusual (for me, at least) given the prompts I'd tasked myself with were tailored to Karelia's interests, but I had fun writing it.  So glad you enjoyed it!!

Oh, I love those movies, too.  The whistle line (and the ones preceding it) from "To Have and Have Not" is such classic UST.  Yum!Thanks so much for the review, Beth - I appreciate it!!

Thanks so much - I'm so glad you liked it!!LOL on the pregnancy bit.  I'm fairly certain she meant the past ones, but who knows?  That farm sounds like an amazing place to raise a family ...

I'd forgotten all about this little story. Gifts are so much fun to write, since they require elements one might never have considered otherwise. So glad you enjoyed it!

We women ask for such simple things in a relationship.  I don't know why men act as if it's so difficult to please us.  :-)

Aww ... Thank you so much!  I'm glad you stopped by to tango with us!!  :-)

For you, dear?  Anything!!!  I just uploaded the latest chapter of A Murder of Crows into the queue yesterday.  What timing!!Thank you so much for your lovely comments and the pretty, shiny stars.  I'm glad you enjoyed Hermione in this ... I like to think she's mellowed quite a bit with age.  :-)

Thank you so much!  I'm quite pleased you enjoyed it ... Thanks for the lovely stars!!

LOL - That's actually quite unlike me, writing a story sans lemons!!Perhaps for Karelia's next birthday ...Thanks so much for the review!

Thank you!  Writing this was a bit out of my comfort zone - I've never attempted post-epilogue before, and trying to combine a bevy of elements I thought Karelia might enjoy made it even more challenging.  But I had a wonderful time learning about Argentina, and lots of fun imagining myself in that little farmhouse.  *contented sigh*

Thank you so much!  What a lovely review to wake up to ... such amazing compliments!!  I'm so pleased you enjoyed the story; it was a fun challenge and a great way to learn about Argentina!

Alas, it was a one-shot for Karelia's birthday.  Perhaps next year, we'll visit Argentina again and see what they're up to.  :-)I like to think the future holds nothing but happiness, fine wine, and homemade cheese for our couple.  I believe they deserve some real love at last ...Thanks so much for the review and the lovely stars!

awww rats, so it was a one shot T.T ~sob~wait a secCheeeeeese you say?Ah well!ooooo NEXT! lets do a Tango de Roxane (aka hermione!) woot...~goes to watch moulin rouge now~

Aww ... Hugs right back atcha, my love!!!  So glad you enjoyed this!  I don't do well with prompts (self-imposed or otherwise!), but it was a fun challenge to incorporate elements dear to someone.  :-)Ron mucking up the one task she gave him (and for the reason why!) was my favorite part.  LOL!Thanks so much for the review and the lovely stars!

So glad you enjoyed it!  They managed to get the tough part of the relationship out of the way first (the sleeping arrangements!), and now they'll be able to content themselves with Argentine wines and cheeses.  :-)Thank you so much for the review and stars!

Awww, thank you so much, Sunny, my love!  You mean there's a dance you haven't learned yet?!  No matter; I'm sure you'll master it!

And I like to think now that her curiosity has been satisfied, other aspects of her life will be similarly looked after.  :-)Thank you very much for the review and stars!  I don't do well with self-imposed prompts (as witnessed by the month it took me to write this).  I appreciate you reading it!

You are so, so, so welcome!  It seems a pittance to offer in return for the vast support you've bestowed upon me since I discovered fanfiction.  Thank you for encouraging me to become a better writer and a more cognizant human.  I hope you had a lovely birthday!
