I just watched the most delightful old movie.
I did the unthinkable, didn't make a start on the housework when my kids went to school. I made a lovely cup of coffee, and I sat down a put on this movie, An American In Paris.

It's a lovely movie from 1951, starring a very handsome and talented Gene Kelly. It is supposed to be set in paris although the set is just that a set. However my heart just skips a beat when they flit around various sights in Paris. (Oh to be back!) Its a lovely movie for anyone who loves old musicals and plenty of ballet in it too. I thoroughly enjoyed it, :-*now back to that housework....

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
