Catching up

Bonjour Mes Amis,

I’m sorry about not being in touch for a while, but I just couldn’t do it because my Dad said I couldn’t do it because he had a lot of work. But now I’m back.

There’s so much that’s been happening that it’s hard to decide what to talk about first.

Last Sunday, I went to a place call St. Guilhelm. It was a very quiet town. I saw a backyard with lots of bunnies and chickens. And I drank from some water fountains that were portable (my Dad says, “potable”). Today I went to Montpellier and we went to a big market and I got some new skinny, tall pretty black leather boots. I also got a blue set of gloves, hat, and scarf. And we got a really really big kebob. Then we drove home and I saw a rainbow, two rainbows precisely and we saw a very pretty, not faintful light rainbow.

A few days before that I needed my doll back because I let somebody borrow it. I made up a song about it in French so that I could remember the words for how to ask for it back. My Dad and I sang it to the tune of a French song that we used to sing back home called “Sur le Pont D’Avignon” or “On the Bridge of D’Avignon.” The new words went

“Je voudrais ma poupee, sil vous plait, sil vous plait.”

Instead of

“Sur le pont D’Avignon l’on y danse, l’on y danse”

That helped me remember what to say and I got my doll back.

Tonight we have visitors sleeping over, Natasha and Laura. I only met Natasha when I was two and never met Laura. We had pizza together and Natasha let us have some homemade cookies.

I’m in my pajamas now and I’m going to go to sleep.

Au revior!
