I know exactly how Charlie felt!
ReplyDeleteI just love those words!
DeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteJust saw your comment on goodreads and wanted to let you know that the kindle edition of Julia Child Rules is only $1.99. I picked it up yesterday…not sure how long this deal will last.
It's tempting but I think I'd like the print version someday.
Delete:) Great quotes. Years ago, I watched a Charlie Chan marathon on television--what fun!
ReplyDeleteJust been catching up as I have been away from Blogland for a wee while. I love your header and all the links to poems, books etc. I have had a good browse!
