Round and round we go......

The following excerpt is from an actual conversation in which I recently had the joy of participating- the names have been changed to protect the obnoxious:

Caller (in English):
Allo? Allo? This is Marco.

Me: Hello Marco.
Caller: Yes, I think I have your husband's cell phone.
Me: (continuing in English as the caller started it!) Well, that's not possible because my husband does not have a cell phone.

Caller: This is Marco, I have his cell phone.
Me: Marco, he does not have a cell phone.

Caller: Yes, because I have the cell phone.
Me: Marco, he does not own a cell phone.

Caller: I think he left it here in my shop.
Me: (in Italian) Marco, he does not own a cell phone!
Caller: Oh, yes, then I don't know to who it is?
Me: Okay, have a great day, thanks for calling.
Hang up.

The carousel pictures were taken in Strasbourg, France. We went to visit my french family and had a wonderful time. I honestly had forgotten that Strasbourg is so beautiful. More pictures to come.

So glad you disclosed your intention to protect the obnoxious ~ I couldn't tell. He doesn't need to be protected. Maybe shock treatments would help. It is just too funny about this guy.
Love the photo of the girls enjoying your visit to France. Thanks for keeping up with the blog. We never tire of reading about your adventures and seeing pics of you and yours! Love you and miss all of you.

Spring break whirlwind!

I am sorry that I haven't posted this week. Diesel, I am so glad you figured out how to leave comments- we commented back on some of them! It was good to hear from you. I will try and do a catch up and post and then try to post more regularly next week...when time slows down, again. Nanny, I hope you made it home okay. The little engines were asking about you all day. We went over how you will be back, several times. I think they get it : ) Of all the weeks we have had here in Italy, I can honestly say, none of them have gone fast- except this past week. We drove Nanny to the airport this morning and it seems like we were just there to pick her up! This time, we went the right direction and it took much less time, fancy that. (You would think that with a map and a car we would be okay, but it is seriously difficult to get around here. You have to know several towns past your destination town that might be marked on the signs and then might not be. For example, you want to go to Ven

Purebred, German-imported female Pomeranian: 1,000 Euro Innotek Remote Controlled Citronella Spray Collar: $89.99 Little girl growing up with her dream dog: priceless Introducing: Fluffernutter aka: "Brandy" yes, it is also her stripping name Age: 4-years The girls keep forgetting that she won't grow any bigger even though they accept that The Fonz will always be small, go figure. Cost: For us, she was a "free" dog, I like to refer to her as a "used" dog Facts: Both girls are in love with her and she is growing on the Dad in the family She likes to drink out of the bidet She likes to lick Fonzie's ears (Bleh!) She likes to chase kitties, but her favorite hobby is barking...well, it was : )

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!
