Yeah! I FINALLY got to use some of my high school French! I received an email from a person in France requesting , in English, the information for pick up at the train station in Paris. But I could tell that English was not her first language. So I responded in French. As I bought…
Beatrice, I deposited $50 in a savings account for you at a bank for your graduation. I can get so busy at this time of year. I did not want to forget. Every time you pass the ATM by, you will know that I’m loving you. I will put money into this account for birthdays…
