Balade à Paris Portant une Echarpe
My dear friend Deborah gave me this scarf for my birthday. It’s a gigantic map of Paris. I love it. It has become my ‘Ningaminny,’ a word my older brother invented when he was two, dragging his ‘blanky’ behind him, sucking his thumb.
What I love is that the scarf shows my address when I was a student in Paris in 1952, 66 Avenue de Saxe. The Pasteur statue was just a little way from our apartment.
What great memories!
Ma chère amie Deborah m’a présenté cette écarpe pour ma fête, un plan gigantesque de Paris. Je l’adore. Elle (l’écharpe) est devenue mon “Ningaminny”, un mot inventé par mon frère aîné quand il avait 2 ans, traînant sa petite couverture derrière lui en souçant son pouce.
Ce que j’aime, c’est que l’écharpe montre mon adresse en 1952 quand j’étais étudiante à Paris, 66 avenue de Saxe. Le monument Pasteur était à deux pas de notre appartement.
Quels beaux souvenirs!

Formidable, Maman! Est ce que c’est une ‘coincidence’ que la echarpe a l’addresse, ou coin, ou tu as vivais, in 1952?! Rappelles-toi que nous-nous avons marches (et marches…, et marches…), la, en famille?? Ton 80-ieme anniversiare!! : )

I thought I’d lost you by clicking wrong thing! You are my first!! The map has EVERY street on it…so it was fun to find Ave. de Saxe. I do remember us going to spot it!!

Yes I have the same scarf for maybe 6 years and I have never worn it! But I do love it.
I wish my French was like yours…
