10351. judithathome - 7/15/2004 4:36:50 AM On the water stains, take the meat of a nut...walnut is good...amd rub it over the spot; let it soak in a bit and repeat til it disappears. Pecan is good, too...not peanut, though. The nut has to have a hard shell and come from a tree. 10352. Ms. No - 7/15/2004 4:39:29 AM Ooh! Thanks Wabbit! I'll have to try those. 10353. Ms. No - 7/15/2004 4:41:18 AM Hmmm....walnut would be good, that's the right color for the table. It's an oak trestle table that my parents got from my grandmother before I was born. I have no idea where she got it originally or how old it might be. 10354. judithathome - 7/15/2004 4:43:02 AM I think the best is black walnut but those are someties hard to find.
If it's oak, maybe an acorn would do. ;-) 10355. arkymalarky - 7/15/2004 4:47:52 AM We've got plenty of black walnuts out here. 10356. arkymalarky - 7/15/2004 4:48:16 AM We've got plenty of black walnuts out here. 10357. arkymalarky - 7/15/2004 4:48:51 AM Oops. I was waiting for that to happen with all the mouse problems I'm having. 10358. Ms. No - 7/15/2004 4:51:12 AM How can you have so many walnuts with all those mice around? 10359. arkymalarky - 7/15/2004 4:56:20 AM I'm trying to think of a good punchline response to that about hard nuts. 10360. Magoseph - 7/15/2004 6:05:36 AM My field of poppies, near where I was born 10361. judithathome - 7/15/2004 6:07:28 AM That gives a nice lift to the afternoon, Magos!
Paid off the roofer today. I know most of that was the insurance money but not all...big check. 10362. Magoseph - 7/15/2004 4:11:41 PM Good morning, Mac. 10363. Macnas - 7/15/2004 4:27:59 PM Good morning Mago, venez-vous Provence ?, why on earth did you leave? 10364. Magoseph - 7/15/2004 5:31:48 PM Mac, Grand Travaux de Marseille hired my father and we moved to Paris where the main offices were. However, we children were sent to the grandparents’ houses during the summers. My older siblings were the ones who most suffered by being transplanted. I was eight and perfectly happy to play in the sand with the little Arab kids when we spent a year in Assouan and two years in Rivoli. I miss not going to Provence now, but I cannot abandon my husband during each summer anymore. Paris became a reality for me and the United States a dream when I was twelve. 10365. Macnas - 7/15/2004 5:57:43 PM I really love Paris, going there again this year. 10366. Magoseph - 7/15/2004 6:17:53 PM We lived on boulevard Exelmans and rue Molitor, not far from the Bois de Boulogne. The best memories I have of Paris is when we schoogirls went roaming up and down the Champs-Élysées on our own and taking in an American movie every chance we had. Our school was great in showing us the history of the city. My brother was surprised one year not long ago when he realized how much I knew about famous monuments and places. He said then--"I didn't know you were French after all."
10367. Macnas - 7/15/2004 6:42:29 PM Bois de Boulogne, very pleasant place. 10368. Macnas - 7/15/2004 6:44:33 PM My very favourite park in Paris is Luxembourg gardens. 10369. Macnas - 7/15/2004 6:47:06 PM My very favourite park in Paris is Luxembourg gardens. 10371. Magoseph - 7/15/2004 7:00:31 PM That should make your day, Mac.
