Even if he then said it was a yes/no answer, you'd have given him something to think about. Maybe. If he was a thinker.<br /><br />I like the flags on the tree. I think you can put pretty much anything on a tree to decorate it. Except maybe miniature firearms? Not those.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-37614952933393919762016-12-08T17:08:41.592+00:002016-12-08T17:08:41.592+00:00i adore that tree. as for the boy's survey, i&...i adore that tree. as for the boy's survey, i'm really curious about what he's going for. if you find out, will you report back?37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-16552429042141933242016-12-08T17:02:20.903+00:002016-12-08T17:02:20.903+00:00I wonder where he was going with that little surve...I wonder where he was going with that little survey. I would have probably answered the same sort of hesitating way. I agree, I'm pretty darn free compared to some but I'm still constrained by age and money and responsibilities.<br />I love the tree! I think that international touch is a great idea.<br />On another subject, I watched a commentary on the PBS News Hour last night. It was a young woman strongly advocating for learning a foreign language. It made me think of you and your French lessons. I loved one comment she made that learning a foreign language was a "quiet revolutionary act."Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-46440667082049511952016-12-08T16:49:10.598+00:002016-12-08T16:49:10.598+00:00That's funny.
