What's Up in N Illinois, Thompson clan #4


Bonjour ma famille,

That's right. French. I am enrolled in weekly French lessons. Il me maintient occupé.

Emily is in her 1st year of university challenge at SIU, Carbondale, IL, where she is focusing her studies on Nursing. She is adjusting very well and is difficult to get hold of, which means that every time I call, or every 10 minutes, she does not always answer.

Gabe is enrolled at Rock Valley College where he is getting his basic requirements out of the way before attending another university. He drives a 1978 Mercedes Benz Diesel Coupé. 0-60 in under an hour. For those counting, we have 4 cars, 4 motorcycles, and a lawnmower.

Our dog BoBo continues to frighten neighbors with a full-speed ahead rush out to the limits of her electric fence. She is a menace to those who don't know about the electric fence/shock collar.

That's about it. See you all soon.

Awesome next time I go to Paris I am taking you! Can't wait to see Em and you as well this coming weekend. Heaven's thats a lot of motor power you have-we are still making it fine with one car but getting the itch for a nana mobile planning on getting the DVD player and whole bit!! Funny how your priorities evolve..

This was quite humorous.

Sounds like you will never have to walk anywhere, with all that motor power. If learning French makes the mind work better, I need to learn some.
