Wacky Wednesday

OK - this is the last of the adjective - day titles. Enough already!

On with the vacation stuff- let's see, when we last heard from the Pennington's they were in England -off to France then - we flew out early on Thursday from Heathrow to CDG Paris, France -Charles De Gaulle? airport - just before the torrential rains that hit London and flooded alot of roads and in general wreaked havoc. We had 12 bags -6 carry ons totalling about 600 pounds. So, wherever we went it was interesting - the comments about how much luggage the drivers thrilled at how much luggage, etc. Upon landing we headed straight for Disneyland Paris and two nights there before one night in Pairs. Interesting point - you hear so much about the rude Parisians, but that was not our experience - everywhere we went -the people were nice and helpful. More on Pairs tomorrow.

Thought for the day - While we were in Europe we had to get accustomed to their way of life - their customs - like the whole line queue issue - generally in America -people get in line in a somewhat orderly fashion - in Europe - it's a free for all in a lot of places with a lot of pushing and shoving -but if you pay attention you quickly figure out how to cope and how the game is played - my point is that we often just see things from our perspective -Paul said that he had become all things to all people- the question is - who in your life do you need to demonstrate some understanding towards because they think about things differently or approach a situation differently, I'm not asking you to disregard a moral or ethical issue - but rather to have an attitude of understanding for a different approach.

Talk at you soon.
