I've lived on my own for 10 years now and it would be strange to have my parents (not to mention camera crew) hiding in the bushes when I'm getting proposed :D I live 4 hours from home so it would not be practical.<br /><br />But maybe it's the differences that make the Bates so endearing for me. I appreciate their way of life, their love for God and each other. I'm a conservative Christian myself so never really watched TV - but really enjoy reading about the Bates' lives. Unfortunately I can't watch the show here. <br />So, Thank You Lily and Ellie for this blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-35561355474039831362018-01-16T10:02:01.625-06:002018-01-16T10:02:01.625-06:00I wondered about that too since, when the post was...I wondered about that too since, when the post was first written, it did say 'price'.
