Now you can get things started with the new home...lot's of work to be done!<BR/><BR/>I tried to think of a new French appellation for our "smokey, gas-guzzling" friend...and my first thought was to stay with a literal meaning that had a pretty sound when spoken in French...so I translated "gas lover" into "Amoureux de Gaz". I think Amoureux makes a lovely sounding first name...so "French and friendly"! Makes me think of Edgar Degas (whose original name was de Gas)! As you see, fine art is always infiltrating Luke's feeble brain!<BR/><BR/>I hope you get your phone, internet, TV and music set up soon. Having a little entertainment...especially music...makes it more pleasurable to work on projects...and it keeps you feeling more "connected" to the rest of the world. And when the furniture starts to arrive, you'll feel so much more "at home"!<BR/><BR/>Now that you have survived the worst of the "bureaucratic" hassles I think you will really begin to enjoy yourselves...and I'm glad to see from your blog that you have friends and a nearby pub to "enhance" those joyous experiences! Hurrah for friends and French wine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-28066662408256890472007-05-23T17:50:00.000-06:002007-05-23T17:50:00.000-06:00Wonder how many comments you get from the French o...Wonder how many comments you get from the French on the Delicate Arch tag. Wonder if it will stay on your vehicle...I'm recalling the group of French students that went on a souvenier spree, stripping visitor vehicles of license plates that summer in Yellowstone.<BR/>Your descriptions of the arrival back to Leran made it clear you felt you were coming home. How wonderful. MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616096592860333672noreply@blogger.com
