Reminds me of, 'teach a man how to fish and he won't starve' I don't know from a boys view point which is more desirable, fishing or golfing. I think anything with dad would be okay

A Gaudi tour with gaudy outfits, very good Tony. A punster you are becoming. I wrote this chapter as I wished I had taken the time to do some of these things when I was in Europe. Business over ruled pleasure. My advice, take a day, if you are in Europe for business, and enjoy it The Gaudi tour is a must for anyone going to Barcelona. You will marvel at the genius of Gaudi

The problem with grandfather, he doesn't understand economics. His desire to be known as the guy who catches big fish rather than the guy who catches what can be sold.
-
Fishing for boys in a family setting seems to bind them in a special way. They will relive these days over and over and the fish will get bigger each time.

The next time you go to Italy, let me know. If you make Cioppino again, send me some. Sounds like you had a great time.

Fresh seafood has a taste that can't be had with fish that has been caught and frozen.

It was a great day for the guys. Grandads are like that, you know.

The next morning we were ready to go fishing. The ladies wanted to go shopping, I gave Mom my credit card and told her to use it for her purchases and Marie’s. I didn’t include Mary. After talking with Colin, he gave her his credit card. Again I had the chef at the hotel prepare us lunch, we all had breakfast together. The boys talked abut fishing, the women talked about their shopping trip. The Dads, Colin and I listened. I made a mental note to plan on fishing trips when we got home.

In the morning, the boys couldn’t sit still. I had arrange for the ladies to take a tour featuring some of the other works by Gaudi. The tour included lunch. I also arrange for the hotel cooking staff to prepare 10 lunches for us to take to the boat. We were ready to go and Alesander showed up. “I didn’t expect you this morning. Have you had breakfast?” “No, but I’ll pick up something as we walk to the boat. My grandfather is very excited about going out today.” “Wait” I went and wrapp

I wonder if GG had her fingers in that episode in Armand and Tommy's life. The timing was right on
-
Alesander may land on his feet, but I'm sure it will require some hard work.
-
Yes I'm sure there will be some working s that even Armand will be surprised. I have faith that any person who becomes a friend of Armand will get some TLC
-
yes, when he and Colin whee there for their honeymoon.
-
Ahhh, the old bones trick. knowing Armand you know he is not going to let Alesander suffer from an honest mistake
-
Armand has a great heart

Monday morning I was surprised, no boys in our bed. I guess swimming in the pool last night tires them out. “No boys this morning. I guess we will have to go swimming every night.” “It wasn’t only the swimming but also the wine they drank.” “Did you encourage them to drink wine?” “Yes, I wanted someone all to myself , for a change.” That got him a kiss and it was nice to sleep with Colin without the fear of four boys attacking you. Certain routines were missed by me.

I think there may be a few extra days. With the memories comes a binding that will meld into a close knit family.

Yes, I think I preferred Barcelona to Madrid.

Life is always drama. Even when things appear to e going well, there is something below the ground ready to sprout that causes a disturbance.

Your right, I have no interest in learning a new language. I am having a hard time remembering my native language.

Now I know you are confused . Between the comments , I am not a writer, my background is scientific and one thing I learned, I was good at my profession and lousy at writing. Technical reports were not a problem, prose was a problem. How could a person get A's in math and science and d's in English, There is obvious a disconnect. So this begs the question, why are you writing? I write for my amusement and for those who enjoy these voyages of mine. Like any car trip, to some people they are the best way to travel, to the others, 'must we drive, why we fly" attitude. It appears that winter is approaching relatively fast, so stay warm, and enjoy. They say a few hot toddies makes the winterr goes faster.

Now you must be confused. I type in a semi-lying position, I am not able to sit up straight. and before you say it, I might not be straight also. I have no problem with family dinners but they all know I do not like cake. So close family members always provide a small piece off cake for me.

Waking in the morning, I discovered how two could become six. The boys were in our bed. “Morning Dad.” “When did you come into my bed?” “Last night. We couldn’t sleep and Pop said to climb in.” I just looked at them, then I attacked. I started tickling and soon I found out I was just as ticklish as they were. “No Colin, you can’t join in. Boys, lets get Pop.” Colin jumped out off bed and fled to the bathroom. “Dad, you aren’t mad at us?” “No, why would I be mad at you? You’re

As we approach the holidays, I probably won't post as often but I promise to post as time permits. it seems in my family, birthdays are more fall celebrations then spring or simmer.
