Alanea's birthday

Today is Alanea's birthday October 23.  I got up early to eat my breakfast with Old Dave and then I got a nice present ready for Alanea.  The present is a ceramic Seahorse or as the say in France a Hippocampe. I sometime go with Dave and Alanea to The Hippocampe restaurant on the port at Frejus for lunch and that's where Alanea got the idea.  Dave found the Seahorse, which he named Trigger, at a big pottery place close to my house (Alanea with rename him).  I have attached a Seahorse selfie.  Auntie Sharon was here for 1 week and I took them for a nice walk on my beach.  My good friend Anne got a beautiful flower for Alanea.  Now I am resting because Dave will take me and Alanea for lunch to a nice restaurant later.  Uncle Georg sent a very nice birthday email to Alanea from Denmark today.  Uncle Alex, Auntie Tatiana and Stephan have invited us for dinner tomorrow night.  I am quite busy these days.  Please comment if you want to see something special on my BLOG and Jerry what's wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs?

 

Interesting Life

I have quite an interesting life here in France.  People come and go, I ride in the car to places I can hardly pronounce but neither can Dave.  Alanea keeps working and going off to funny places with long names and longer history (Alhambra, Les Issambre).  One thing that never changes is that people are still having babies, lots of babies.  Despite the craziness in the world and all of uncertainty people still seem to think that they can safely and confidently raise a child.  I am only 12 but I turned out OK I guess.

One thing that Dave keeps saying is, "these little children will never know a world without high speed internet and by the time they are old enough to swipe a finger across a screen the whole world will have changed again".  Well I don't get too excited about kids really unless they are the children of my friends and then I really like them.  Dave brought back Toronto Maple Leaf Jerseys for our friends' babies from Denmark.  They had twin boys a few months ago and here they are at home in sunny Denmark.
