As a fan of the C & Franklin relationship, I was aghast at the possibility of non-fidelity. Call me old-fashioned, but there you go. Yeah for C and Franklin!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411194349396739707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1150738582354867272006-06-19T13:36:00.000-04:002006-06-19T13:36:00.000-04:00Can't wait for your return, even though I still ha...Can't wait for your return, even though I still haven't met you.

One of our dreams was to do back-to-back Black Sea cruises; unfortunately the cost boggles the mind. <BR/><BR/>My parents had some great stories about their trips, including a meeting with an elderly clergyman and his wife who knew my aunt. He hadn't quite hoisted in that he was talking to her sister and said cheerfully, "Oh, yes, Valentine V-J; she's quite mad, isn't she," while his wife was making frantic faces at him. Since my parents agreed with this assessment, no feelings were hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1150637033557894782006-06-18T09:23:00.000-04:002006-06-18T09:23:00.000-04:00Ostia Antica: please, please, please, please, pret...Ostia Antica: please, please, please, please, pretty please with cherries on the top (and probably a martini with a maraschion cherry on the side to placate Dolores) please can we have pictures of Ostia Antica?<BR/><BR/>The only other place that comes close is Herculaneum.

That should teach him a lesson.<BR/><BR/>Willkommenes Haus, kleiner Kuchen.

I'm heading through Frankfurt on my way to India next month and am hoping that the vague guidelines in the EU security standards will allow for me to carry on knitting needles. <BR/><BR/>I'm also still trying to track down "official" guidelines on what is allowed on flights originating from India *sigh*...being a die-hard knitter and a traveler can be so difficult!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767604828307174133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1150509444505063382006-06-16T21:57:00.000-04:002006-06-16T21:57:00.000-04:00Rather enjoyed the Wolverines and their stories. ...Rather enjoyed the Wolverines and their stories. <BR/><BR/> How is Dolores by the way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1150509419560200642006-06-16T21:56:00.000-04:002006-06-16T21:56:00.000-04:00Tearing out a library?!
