He stuck up for me when other little boys would be mean, he was from a scary mean family and I guess my family appealed to him more.<br />He always stopped at my house first on the way home, saying hello to my mother then walking on alone to his house at the end of the long road we lived on.<br />I wondered sometimes if he ( as an adult) ever thought it funny, that his best friend in grade school was a skinny little girl :)Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-16822052037756436872009-12-11T17:03:15.717-05:002009-12-11T17:03:15.717-05:00I start every morning with your delightful and ins...I start every morning with your delightful and inspiring gems. I lived in France for 4 years (3 in Paris), and 3 years in Italy. So, you can imagine the nostalgia I feel.<br />My husband and I own a natural foods market with an adjoining cafe-creperie in a small town in Washington State. I am reliving all my favorite European food memories through my store, inspiring customers to try things that they can barely pronounce, but are delighted to be exposed to. Food exploration is a great way to travel. You often feature foods and ideas that have led me to acquiring them for my store. Thank you for allowing me to relive my Paris nostalgia every morning.<br /><br />Just a quick note- You have probably already heard this by now, Wednesday's, "L'avant Comptoir" featured crepes of the day with "dinde" being the main ingredient...The transaltion is turkey. ("canard" is duck.) Simple mistake. I will have to try this crepe idea in our creperie.<br /><br />Thanks again for your daily posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-18866336314324900452009-12-11T00:36:17.297-05:002009-12-11T00:36:17.297-05:00Such a wonderful heartwarming paen to old friendsh...Such a wonderful heartwarming paen to old friendships! <br /><br />When I met my first best friend again after 17 years (I had moved to the States and did not return to Rome for all those years), after we had spent the evening together, we continued talking for hours until 3am, next to her Vespa, never realizing it was that late (or early in the morning).Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-86161359813048999052009-12-09T09:33:03.837-05:002009-12-09T09:33:03.837-05:00What a lovely story/memory.

She was and still is my "French sis". Laurrie now lives in Paris with her husband and three gorgeous children. We hope to have our families meet, for the first time, in Paris one of these fine days.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing, Carol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-32057889870673017552009-12-08T13:03:52.286-05:002009-12-08T13:03:52.286-05:00One of your best!!!!!!!!!

Though it was always hard come drive-in movie night at our house, because we could only bring ONE friend. The other would cry, even though they would get a turn next time. We stayed friends until about 6th grade. They figured out they were a grade older (though only 4 months dang it!), and moved on without me. We see each other every few years, but I still have the best memories.Nursapaloozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592570219279412632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-27228437837957452022009-12-07T14:30:36.801-05:002009-12-07T14:30:36.801-05:00Your imaginative storytelling presentation was tru...Your imaginative storytelling presentation was truly touching...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-88989399736598233752009-12-07T14:28:38.069-05:002009-12-07T14:28:38.069-05:00Bonjour Carol.

I received my now-traditional email (it will be followed up with phone call) warning of: "I just mailed your Christmas box. Do not open it until at least Xmas Eve. I will find out if you do. I always do because you cannot contain your excitement & msg me. I'm warning you...." Plus we have others in this group...esp one who is now in Louisiana. And others. We've not been able to visit in a few years, but hope to next year. I cannot imagine life without them.<br /><br />xoxoxoGiuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569643363733791671noreply@blogger.com
