    I nave been blessed in that I have traveled extensively in western Europe. No matter where I stayed there were always something new to try. I treasure those trips. They were business trips but also a learning experience for me. I have tried to use those experiences in writing this story.

    It has been a labor of love. Those type of projects tend to gather a crowd of people willing to help.

    Returning to the hotel, there was a message from Colin saying they were taking the night flight and would arrive in the morning. I told Mom and I knew she was relieved. The boys took a nap, well that is what they said but Marie said they laid down but didn’t go to sleep. They talked about the zoo and were making comparisons between the zoo in New York and the zoo today. I knew once I tell them that Colin was coming tomorrow morning they will be excited. I also knew whose bed they would be s

    Thank you. I always thought that there was an age when birthdays were celebrated anymore. I was wrong. The meds are helping.

    Knowing there is a medical issue causing John's behavior takes a lot of guessing out of the equation. I'm not sure who misses Colin more, the boys or Armand.

    That is what Armand's mother said. But there is something magic in making crepes on. grapes griddle. I have only had crepes made on a griddle but using a skillet is a possibility, One difference, with out a grdieele you would need to keep your eye on a crepe made in a frying pan. Using a griddle you would have have even heat acrosss the surface, with a frying pan, depending on size you may not.

    I never saw crepes in a cart but did have crepes prepared with fruit. strawberries were the best topped with cream.

    That evening Colin called again. John had the beginning of a growth on the left side of his brain. The doctors think they have caught it in time and have given him medication to take. When they all return home, the doctors will remove the growth. On the positive side, John played an excellent round off golf and was in a good mood. I asked Colin to buy the cameras for the boys and to bring them with him. I also mentioned about Marie joining us while we were in Europe. “Did you check on

    Morning seemed to come quickly. I knew I was tired and missing my bed partner guaranteed I didn’t get a good sleep. Dressed for the day, I headed to the boys room. They were still sleeping so I went to the dining room for my morning coffee. Colin’s mom was there by herself. Grabbing a coffee I went and sat down at her table. “Good morning, Mom.” “Did you talk to Colin last night?” “Yes and so did the boys.” “Did he tell you about taking John to the doctors?” “Yes, they w

    Yes, I don't think James will become involved with the French tart. As Marcel said, she will be gone when they return next year.

    Are you implying that some French tarts have a soggy bottom. The intentions of Colin and Armand is to get Marie to take up residence in the States. I think once Armand see's his surprise, it will be a slam dunk.

    Yes, after my first taste of crepes, I was all for them.

    Unfortunately people get elected and re-elected until they forget what historically was done. I would bet most of those people on that council. didn't realize they were being paid to handle the affairs of the orphanage. They review the annual budget, by looking at the bottom line, incoming versus outgoing and don't know what these line mean. Term limits takes these incompetents away and if it doesn't people deserve what this get.

    The first time I had crepes at a restaurant in New York, the cook was making a crepe with eggs and cheese. They were delicious. I tried to copy with a large skillet, it worked to a degree, like 90 percent abut not quite. After several tries, I realized the secret was a thin egg layer.

    The boys shared my bed. I knew they missed Colin and so did I. But his visit back home was important and I hope he is able to get his dad to the doctors. I remember my mom reading me bedtime stories, but not these boys. They wanted to talk about the museum and the various artifacts. “Dad, did those monsters really roam the earth?” “That is what they say.” “How can they tell from a piece of bone?” “I don’t know but there are people who are trained to do that.” “I think I’d lik
