I will attempt to capture the dear boy one of these days, but he is a bit camera shy unless he hoisting a ridge beam or whatever. And your praises of my language abilities are much too generous, my friend. My repertoire is now up to about 10 words I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-10540927882064121552007-02-15T12:53:00.000-07:002007-02-15T12:53:00.000-07:00ooh, la pharmacie, you can get all kinds of stuff....ooh, la pharmacie, you can get all kinds of stuff.

I haven't seen Doug in so many years, I'm not sure I would recognize him...was that him in the top hat<BR/>and "disguise goggles" in Durfort? You are forcing me to stretch my own marginal French vocabulary as I read your commentaries...I took Spanish and Latin...over 30 years ago...so that's not helping much! I feel like I'm getting a little extra education in my "old age"...and I am enjoying it so much...thanks to my old classmate...you get an "A" from me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-21859472359470596082007-02-14T23:51:00.000-07:002007-02-14T23:51:00.000-07:00Yes Judy, that's exactly how we interpreted the ha...Yes Judy, that's exactly how we interpreted the handicap sign---pretty to the point! Maybe we should steal you one, eh?<BR/><BR/>And, Noah, our intent was to have cassoulet in Castelnaudry. Rumor around these parts is there is a feud between Toulouse and Carcassonne regarding the true 'origin'---probably to never be determined. As restaurants don't serve until the strike of 12:00 (that's noon not midnight) we were way too early and moved on. But we've partaken the succulent treat before...and will again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-4309120003048607512007-02-14T21:42:00.000-07:002007-02-14T21:42:00.000-07:00Right she is, Choucroute garni is the full name, i...Right she is, Choucroute garni is the full name, its from alsace. Its like descibing a submarine sandwhich as bread with garnish. Except the garnish is meat. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of meat, the town you went to, Castelnaudry, is very famous for its Cassoulet. That and Toulouse. Try it next time you go. Its handmade sausage, duck confit and beans. very hearty food.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045259276371486504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-12058905949285333842007-02-14T20:00:00.000-07:002007-02-14T20:00:00.000-07:00So, Nancy, on the handicap sign...does that say "i...So, Nancy, on the handicap sign...does that say "if you take my spot, you take my handicap too? What a sense of Humor?! Since Ron now makes use of handicap parking, I look for those places to park whether he is in the car or not!<BR/><BR/>And choucroute...it is a German/Polish type dish; heavy on the meat and sauerkraut and we have it every so often. It really fills you up! JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271982998450767763noreply@blogger.com
