Widowed 2009. Have the love of my family and close friends to buoy me when needed. Planning to re-join the work force this year. Hopefully my sister will be visiting from UK with her husband for a holiday - I love my family! Would love to re-visit Scotland some time soon.

Schoolgirl French

My daughter in law is taking French Lessons! It’s time she states. Last night Rachael came over to stay with me and together with her French phrases we had a a gigglethon. I left school in 1967; I had attempted to learn to speak French at school, unfortunately it wasn’t conversational French, however I did learn to count to ten, that a door is female and how to open and close said door :)
However, last night as we were attempting to get the accent ‘just right’ (which isn’t easy ) words came flooding back, words take note not sentences that had been buried in my memory banks for decades.
We giggled a lot and Rach made notes but by the end of the evening I had remembered enough to wish her:

"Bonne nuit Rachael mon cher"

Maybe there is hope for me yet!
