thanks to our Artist-in-Seine

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Yes Dean, I have tried. And am still late! Thank you for this great one, I'll get there . . .

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Close, Dean, very close. In this instance "gaslight" comes from the 1944 movie, though no doubt the term was around before then. (It's when people try to make you cuckoo, simply put!) Val, the barrel of red wine is reminding me of your recipe for winter. A big wonderful downfall it is. 

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Toe you know, now that makes cents.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

On to Zurich then to Crete...

oh, InSeiine, if only you could make a stop over in Thess before April 23?

Happy trails to you... :-)

(And Val is not suppose to have any alcohol so his toe can stay sober!)

[Valentine Mark Herman]

I can swim, so won't drown.

Unless I fall in a big barrel of red wine (but then, like the proverbial Paddy, I will have to get out a couple of times to go to the toilet)

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

@Val, we were worried you might drown.

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

gaslighted?  Is that from the 1930's?  Well you know what they say; "Where there is a hart, you'll find a club."  But 10 of them is difficult.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Now wait a minute. Ten of clubs. I think I'm being gaslighted.

[Rebecca Guyver]

I just LOVE the way you've placed the 10 of clubs. 

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Ok Dean, where are you, where have you been, and where are you going?!

This arrived a bit ago. As any IUOMA friend can confirm, I'm hopelessly behind in absolutely everything and have been for months. For 19 cents, this piece is even more of a prize than I already thought. It can't be only Valentines Day that's never a dull moment for your wife.

How compe Valentine (Mark) wasn't invited to the dinner?
