The children have made Valentine their patron saint of Mail Art. The all wanted to make pieces for his exhibition. Val-there are nearly 40 pieces already in the mail for you and another 15 or so to follow. They were terribly excited when his piece arrived. Mr. Valentine is really real! They loved the French stamps, the IUOMA badge, El-vis and his blue bird (real significance here as it would happen)-and a harvest moon like tonight's here. Thank you, Val!!!!

Mary J: let me know when you're going to come, and we can go round to Elvis' together.

There are some songs that have magical openings: Heartbreak Hotel' is one of them (and 'I want to' hold your hand' is another)

Nope, Jinny, they usually have a couple of beers, and then join in with the Band-of-The-Friday-Night jam session;

Do Elvis and Janis drink Cassis and do Sudoku by the forest of Ficus in the corner?

I miss Elvis and play his music all the time!  The card above is so cute, I'm going to save it in my computer.

May have to come to the village Peyriac-sur-Mer to see him some day!

Elvis lives in the village next to mine, Peyriac-sur-Mer.

Janis Joplin lives just down the road from him.

They can be seen at the local bar most Friday nights.

Happy Easter!

"Valentine is REAL"! Yep, and Elvis has NOT left the building!

Make lots and lots of postcards for Val's exhibit!

All the best success!

40 PLUS 15. Wow!!

And thanks times 40 plus 15.

I have been called many things as a would-be artist, but I've never been sanctified. What a responsibility.

I'll send the children some photos of their work in the Exhibtions.

THANK YOU TO ONE AND ALL!!
