ReplyDeleteNumber 6 and 14? i wouldn't have guessed. But then I was never good at riddles.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
So you would take your daughter to Paris but leave the lover at home?
Would you like that or agree to it (as a woman?)?
No flippin way Vix.I would want me a man in Paris.Maybe two.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. I hate to be so negative the whole time . But there is something awfully wrong - either with the relationship or with this woman (Amina), me thinks.
ReplyDeleteI remember, that he was a lot in Paris with Liza. Maybe too much memories for comfort. Like - he doesn't want to take the new one to the same places he took the old one. Or something like that.
Sorry, that I am rambling.
I would go to Paris for the food. It is such a difference to what we get here. It is bettr, richer - and God do I HATE milk-products with 0% fat.
it sounds like you have been to Paris.Have you?
ReplyDeleteYou always seemed like a well educated,well travelled woman to me.
Sammy's show was lively and confusing.The three hundred kids in the audience kept the noise level so high,we couldn't hear the actors.The microphones were not working.So,we,re not sure if Sam said his lines or not.
ReplyDeleteBut ,we told him we heard his every word,and he was brilliant.
Brian's company held a car design contest at the school(my idea of course).It was judged by the president of the company.Each grade had it's own prize.
Sammy won the grade four to five prize,so he took a bow for that and was very pleased with himself.
No, I have been in Strassbourg, which is in Alsace/Elsass/France.
ReplyDeleteI like the Food and the Wine there.
I have travelled a lot. I like it.
Congrats to the lucky winner! Kids put so much effort into those things. The least we can do it to applaud them!
