    Colin and Armand are very proud of the boys. And the boys are grateful for having fathers that care about them.

    Chapter 108

    Morning came, along with 4 boys. “Get up Dad, Pop. We’re hungry.” “Okay. Ask Tante Marie to take you down to the dining room. We’ll join you as soon as Pop gets dressed. “Pop get’s dressed? How about yourself?” “You always take longer. Colin, I was thinking about you leaving and being back on Saturday. I think it would be better if you left on Sunday. While you are home, we need to make a decision on Richie’s home. If I understand right, we have two bids, one from a contractor and

    Interesting, maybe Yale owns the property and the city wants it and they are trying to get the orphanage off it so they can claim it.

    I agree, a couple of possibilities come to mind, they own worthless property and want the orphanage to move into this property, they are getting a kick back from a land owner in the city. I just hope whatever it is bites them in the ass

    True, Armand will come into his own bringing fame to the City. That will help Colin.

    On the other hand the women might like that painting. If Armand gains notoriety, it might actually help Colin. There is something fishy going on on the Council. I don't understand it. GG will know.

    I am getting the feeling Colin carries more weight in the City then appears.

    Thanks Tony. we will have to see how the 'new orphanage' turns out. I'm sure Colin and Armand will make sure the city will not get their hands on the property, Being out off the city's boundaries helps.

    I agree, but you know how a name pops in your head and when all is done, the final name is nowhere like the original thoughts.

    Colin's dad had Armand puzzled as to why he is acting like he does.

    Definitely, of course the means he will have to relinquish some of his duties.

    During dinner I told our family what our plans were for tomorrow. “We are going to check on our chefs tomorrow. The cooking school is in the country so we will need to take a train and a bus to get there. I would like for you to go with us, but if you would rather stay here, that would be okay.” The boys took over, it was grandmother, grandfather, grams and gramps. “Come with us. It’ll be fun.” Their begging paid off, the moms agreed and the dads had no choice. That evening the boys go

    I ate at a three star restaurant but I can't remember exactly where. I was traveling in Europe on business when I was invited to this little restaurant somewhere on the French border. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. I believe my host got the contract.

    You are very insightful. You are correct, Marie will be accompanying them on the dinner cruise.

    Generally a one star would refer to the Michelin rating. And I'm sure you heard of those ratings. A restaurant with a Michelin rating is guaranteed a success. As for the name Jules Verne, if you remember he was a famous story teller. The restaurant was named in honor of Jules Verne. Colin's mother sold his paintings. Anyone could buy it and donate it to a museum. A painter doesn't know what happens to his painting after it is sold.

    Armand has become fond of her. She taught him French when he stayed there for three months. That is the best way to learn a language, submerged

    You are right. It will occupy their time when Colin is away.

    Now we needed to climb the Tower. If the boys weren’t tired by the time we reach the restaurant, I would be amazed. We made it to the first observation deck and I knew we would need to take the elevator to the restaurant. The boys looked around the observation deck. They could see the river and a boat. “Dad, there’s a boat. Can we go for a boat ride.?” “Maybe all can go for a ride.” “We can have dinner on the boat.” I thought that would be a good evening activity. “Ready to climb to th

    I spent some time in Madrid. I knew enough Spanish to get along, The second time I had a fellow traveler who worked for me he knew a family there's. Some relation of his, so my experiences are mush different.

    Paris has an atmosphere that you can't help enjoying yourself. But don't eat the mussels.

    I guess we will find out when they get to Italy. I'm sure Carmella will tell them.
