. . . and i have the day off!
. . . so does Mr D!
* * *
waaaaay . . . back, when i was in high school, i was in French Club!
does this little fact about me not surprise you?
non.
a reaffirmation that this whole French connection has never been "un passant FANCI."
back to French club . . .
we made buttons and sold them to raise money for our classroom activities.
(classroom budgets have always needed to be supplemented with additional efforts.)
the two best selling buttons read . . .
a
bas
le
lundi
which actually translates to "was down with monday".
or as we called it! "down with Monday"!
and
my favorite!
the Friday button, and #1 seller.
bravo!
pas travail
demain!
bravo! not (no) work tomorrow!
to this day lovelies, i say this to myself as i shut down my computer and
pack my tote at the end of the work week.
when i officially retire from the work world, i plan to paint the term on canvas . . .
oui!
. . . and have it scrolled on my retirement cake!
oui encore!
* * *
the temp on 34 nearly hit 100 yesterday . . . so out of the ordinary for the Pacific Northwest!
Mr D and i cooked, ate dinner and spent the evening out on our deck.
if you heard our music mix, you would laugh.
rock - hard rock - soul - folk - a touch of country - current - and . . . Bocelli & Piaf.
such a mix.
Mr D is big on the tenors. perhaps it's because his father was born in Italy.
a tenor's voice was his father's favorite spin on the stereo in his childhood home.
last night, the music went from Sweet Baby James to Jimmy Page to . . . this.
i loved it because it was French. he loved it because he loves listening
Bocelli, al fresco . . . and Piaf takes him to the era of WWII. Mr D is a history buff!
i staged it so you may chanter en français, ( only if you wish to.)
. . . so does Mr D!

All sounds good. I heard of that heatwave. It is that hot (or hotter) all summer here. I don't like it. Have a good one.
