ok, so mm enjoyed the onion article about your mamma finding out about your blog.......i would be horrified if my mamma read my blog, and yet i read scw's blog.............such a conundrum........
did mm mention that she is going to paris? yes, for the 1th time......there are some places that deserve another look-see and paris is the ultimate place for a repeat visit........there will be three of us now, all of us wine-drinkers......which is a relief.....a long weekend with someone who was opposed to drinking would be dismal, to say the least............so now to devise the perfect itinterary......for the uniniated..mm lives to devise timeframes.......in that way i am like my dad, who planned out vacations down to the nanosecond......he hated to be late, and he wanted to know where he would be at any givien moment, so.........i was in paris with my dad for a few days in 1972....though not really out on the street with him, as he had broken his leg in switzerland, and he basically joined us for meals.......i recall seeing the louvre with my cousin nancy and my mother and brother, particularly the big iranian stone gates that are in the basement somewhere...as well as eating at a vietnamese restaurant with cellophane noodles.....i only remember my dad in the car, as my mother stopped the rental car somewhere near the arch of triumph....when my mother exclaimed that she was not driving 'another damn foot'.......there was complete silence in the car, as my mother does not swear.........but my dad could not drive, and i could not drive, and so my mother finally found the hotel,and got my dad up 6 flights of steps.................somewhere in france my dad and my cousin nancy debated about who should get the last order of 'brains'....i think my dad go them.....quite ironic for a man who would be senile by age 65........
i am printing out a list of paris restaurants as we speak....ones with views, and i have neglected to cut and paste this list, which is wasting valuable printer's ink, according to those who are concerned about waste..........for that i am sorry..............
