Hi, Bob, nice to hear from you.
A.R.T. is opening a mew theater on Arrow Street and looking to a new GTG with better seating arrangements so we can talk more. Jane Birkin will be singing at the Berkelee Performance Center on November 13th. Got the tickets and excited. (indie T. La cigale in Nantes is one of her favorite restaurants)
Faux, I'll look for the church next time.
Bud, what can I send you in return?

Hi, that forum closed down due to too many snotty b******who drove others away.
I hope you are doing well. Not many pictures, sorry. Mostly animals and friends. I'll try to post a few with the others on destinationparis.
Say Hi, to the rest, if you are in contact.

I have been out catching up on things and brought some pictures to put on a disc. What a shock the price was.
Would it have been less expensive If they were negatives?

Mimi, when I got my photos on paper and a disc too, they did charge me more.

I hope I get to see some pictures

Scarlett, I had many but mostly of friends and their pets. It cost $40. Is that resonable for close to 40? I almost had a heart attack after the plumbing bills

I should have gone to CVS with thwe negatives. It would have been cheaper(I think) But how to seperate the negatives is hard to see.

A friend offered to put it on a disc if I sent him the photos. I forget how to do it and will have to email him for instructions again. I didn't ask him to do it because he's been in a funk lately.

Mimsy,

Your zest, verve & joie de vivre show through in every word!!

Some of my favorite phrases:
-Burgundian hill town perched serenely on a promontory between two ravines where there are more treasures of architecture-and good food
-rarest Romanesque curiosities (I love the alliterative quality)
-a luxury of details (like a "parliament of crows" - a "luxury of details")

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Oh fine.

A new "John" comes along and suddenly the rest of us are chopped foie gras?

Ha! See how we are in the future.

(Just teasin' Mimi. Glad you're back safe and I hope you have a beautiful, beautiful autumn in the northeast.)
