"Bonjour Madam"...A Funny Story!!!

Hello to All,


I am hoping your
Friday is going
well for you!!


I have been puttering
around my craft studio
and decided to make
some cards. I have
been making cards
since I was a little
girl. I use to write
to my grandmother
Elsa who lived in
New York. She
and I wrote to each
other for many years.
Both of us saved
each others letters
and before she passed
away she had sent me
all my little cards,
letters and drawings
back to me. I had
to laugh because
when I was very little
I would write and draw
very very big...and when
I was about age 12 to 14
years old...I wrote so
little that you almost
needed a microscope
to read my handwriting.
Poor Grandma would
write to me and say
please write BIGGER!!!

I wanted to share my
cute little French card
with you all today. I made
this late last night and did
a little sewing on it today!!

I was in France once.....
in "Charles Degaull Airport".
At the time I was living
in England and I wanted
to go visit my sons in New
Jersey.....so my ex English
husband said to me well
we can save $200.00 by
you flying to France and
then catching another plane
to take you to New Jersey!!
So thats what I did...Ha ha..
I landed at the airport in France
took a bus to the terminal
where I was supposed to wait
a half hour for my next flight
to New Jersey! So I thought
I would go into the little shops
there and every time I would enter
a shop I would hear "Bonjour Madam"
Wow... that sounded GREAT to me since
no one ever said that to me before!!
After half hour of doing that I went
back to the Gate to see if we were taking
off and they would tell me no another half
hour....so there I would walk around again...
Bonjour Madam!!.......well that continued
for "4" HOURS. Yes I finally got on the plane
flew OVER "England"...ugghh and then
finally landed in Newark, New Jersey.
My Poor sons were waiting all
that time for me...ugghh
I was 6 HOURS late!!!! Yikes!!

I told my ex English husband
that " I Would Never Do That
Again!!! Ha Ha!!!

So "yes" I have been to France
and I have heard "Bonjour Madam"
probably enough times to last my lifetime
now.....but I would still Love to go
to Paris....wouldn't You??


Love and "Bonjour" to All!!!

Susan
xxoo

    Bonjour, Susan! Let's go to PARIS together!
    We can fly over England! ;-) But on the way home I'd have to stop and visit the West Country again...I just love it there! I'll treat you to a high tea! Sound good?
    Hugs,
    Diane

    Bonjour sweet Susan
    I think if we go together would be the best way to see Paris. lol
    Love your sweet story of sharing cards with your grandmother. Makes me want to make cards for my Kaci instead of buying them.
    Can you get me started.
    Hope your having a good weekend. I thought of you wondering if you were crafting
    Take care my friend
    Love
    Maggie

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
