    Chapter 53

    I talked to my carpenter and electrician about the apartments. They wanted a tour so I agreed to give them a tour on the coming Monday afternoon. Arriving at the gallery, they wanted to know if I owned the gallery. When I said yes, they wanted to know if I had my paintings there. I said that there were mine and other artists from the school. “Can we enter?” “Of course, it’s open to the public. Maybe you’ll want to buy a painting or some sculpture.” I gave them quick tour and I sho

    I'm not sure the boys are ready to take the next steps. I like Thomas and I think Mary finds him charming. Maybe she will be the catalyst.

    Thomas is looking for something. Has he found it in the painting?

    Thomas seems like a child who is yearning for something . Being an orphan and appears to be a bright young man, I'm sure he will speak his mind and we will understand him a little more.

    He has. Now let's see what happens.

    I'll ask Mary or Armand what's the subject of the painting

    I think there might be something to it.

    I think GG is already at work.

    I think it has to do with that painting.

    I thought about that but Armand always had a kind heart. I guess that could be a possibility.

    Tony's reaction is based on his bitterness. Deep down I'll bet he loved his village. What ever happened, has resulted in a deep hurt. if anyone is going to find out, it will be Armand.

    Thanks, Tony. You are really something. From now on I'll refer to you as my defender. I am not a grammarian. I pretty much write as I speak. my education has been in the sciences, my degree is in chemical engineering. My stories are written in my vocabulary as if I was one of the characters.

    I'm also puzzled. We will have to wait until he's ready to tell us.

    Armand's paintings are moving up. think about buying a painting for 50 dollars and 10 yeas later it's worth 5000

    I agree, Tony's reaction was way overboard

    Chapter 52

    It was the first Saturday in August when I went to the gallery with two new paintings. Walking toward the gallery, I noticed a small boy sitting on the floor looking at a painting by one of the Yale students. I said hi and continued my walk toward the office. “Mom, who is that young lad sitting in front of that painting?” “I don’t know who he is. He’s been coming here all week and sits in front of that painting. He seems like a well behave young man.” “I brought a few additional p

    Be careful what you wish for although short chapters get posted more frequently. Tony's reaction would suggest he left under pressure. I would bet it wasn't the village but the people'

    I wondered why Tony had such a reaction. Poor Armand he thought he was doing something nice.

    I read he resigned party leadership but not as the Prime Minister. You can correct me on that. I would get lost in a gallery, I can't draw a straight line let alone a circle. A friend of mine said drawing was easy, it's a matter of straight lines and circle. he taught art in a school in England.

    That's a great photo. it's easy to see why Colin was impressed. Armand keeps Europe alive for Colin. What a gift.

    I was talking though the woods and I could sense something following me. I'd take a step, it would take a step. I turned and this wild turkey took to wing. Scared the hell out of me. Then I laughed, the first time I saw a wild turkey

    Yes, the holidays are family times. Don't need the distraction caused by sons and daughters leaving family and friends on holidays. Club personnel need to spend time with loved ones as well.

    People in Europe aren't as familiar as we may think. I spent Thanksgiving in Amsterdam at a friends home. We went shopping for a turkey and couldn't find one. I read a notice that a hotel was selling turkey dinners. I bought one, the turkey wasn't large and undercooked, 12 lbs. The stuffing was just bread, the other compliments were Dutch.

    Saturday the club reopened, we were back on schedule. Marcel was smart, if he served turkey, no one knew it. The buzz was Thanksgiving with family. Holidays with family always was a great time for me. It seemed that families were closer on a Holiday. For Colin and I, it was special. We had our families and most important we had each other. Sunday morning before the club opened, we took the family and Carlo to the gallery. Carlo was surprised, I showed him a painting of him as a young man an
