For a big wuss, I'm pretty brave in this area :) Laurie, thanks! I hope your work and summer are going well! Eric, the only thing I know how to say in Italian (and had to look up to spell) is "La cucina è stata eccellente." which I think means "the cooking was excellent" - but maybe I've been making big idiot of self and really saying "the kitchen summer excellent"... sounds like potential lyrics to me :) Jori, oh yes, they will someday! I was a big pain in the rear myself, and I'm sure my mother can't help but enjoy the state of things just a little right now :) mother, it’s like holding breath to go under water… just do it.

I'm very thankful my kids don't like pop music because it physically makes me ill. some of their music is pretty good, but they like a lot more volume since they haven't yet damaged their eardrums at a Van Halen concert. Thom, glad you liked it - it is kinda catchy ;) Marites, yes, quite the eye candy. Want to lock daughters in convent now! phd yogurtry, toujours is right :) diane, glad you liked it! Music is like an international language - no need to know what the heck they're saying :) Peach Tart, I got girls to put it on my itunes too. I've been listening all day - still don't know what they're saying :) Robin, it's always amazing to me how far a little effort goes. Usually what happens as the conversation goes along is they'll speak in French and I end up speaking in English - understanding is easier than speaking. Pricilla, One can never have too much joy if you ask me :) Jessica, you probably know more than you think. I only had two years in college, but my husband and I lived in the northern part of France for a year - I had a tutor and and watched a lot of French Sesame Street and dubbed Dynasty. And I pretty much only speak in the present tense - making me wonder why there are so many. Annette, they liked it! They still think I'm old though :) Sparky, please say that’s true :)
