You brought it all home for me.

It was very interesting. In reference to the opera - I've never heard it other than snippets on YouTube, but it is an integral part of a storyline in one of Eva Ibbotson's books, A Song for Summer. It was originally intended for adults, but it's usually in the YA section of bookstores/libraries now - but don't let that fool you - an excellent "comfort read."Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-68250790800002884852012-03-19T16:12:42.349-07:002012-03-19T16:12:42.349-07:00Hi have to admit that sometimes pictures are worth...Hi have to admit that sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words, but thanks for a great interview with talented and gorgeous David Netto, what an attractive discovery he is...<br /><br />decogirlmontreal.comSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681579355548211915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-51682928039148376572012-03-19T15:52:31.968-07:002012-03-19T15:52:31.968-07:00haven't all of us had to make some distinction...haven't all of us had to make some distinction between squalor and chic? <br />i can totally understand DN's desire to have his mail in a strict orientation on a silver tray. <br /><br />for me too, the distinction was once drawn by silver (silver flatware) -- in the next-to-last of a long string of small San Francisco sublets. and so my youth passed away.<br /><br />thanks for this interview, Lisa.<br />- ElliotUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087103844166817812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-26228502427394867752012-03-19T14:43:29.168-07:002012-03-19T14:43:29.168-07:00Wow.

The place where I feel invigorated to continue with my plans and most definitely the place I come to learn. <br /><br />This post talked about someone I didn't know, referencing people I'd never heard of and of places I've never been. Having "googled" every other word (like I did using my dictionary when reading Robinson Crusoe in 4th grade) I come out victorious not only understanding the message but embracing my new knowledge.
