What a throughly enjoyable album. The comments make it interesting and understandable to "feel" what is in the picture. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh, yes, and if you want to be this Castles Gardener then go to the door and tell whoever answers that you want to apply for the job of Gardener and then negotiate your income by telling them how good you are at your job. No body will ever do this job like you can. Something they would never regret right? Love, Bobbi Hey, I'm a single MOM and yes I'm crazy like that. I would definitely do it. I have no shame when it comes to doing a job to bring money into my home to support myself and my kids. The only thing I will not do is walk the streets if you know what I mean because I am better then that and I do a real good job at whatever job is available to me. I always take my work seriously. Right now I am on Unemployment and temp Disability due to Cancer BUT before this I was a Security Supervisor for the County of Ventura working in the Hall of Justice with the Courts and the Cases, the Sherriffs, the District Attorney's Criminal Investigations Unit, the FBI, the Secret Service, and I can do Private Investigations. All this came not from getting College Degrees but from getting Certificates in Life Long Learning and Human Services and working up towards my position. All the while I was raising my 2 kids alone I went to work and to school too. So, I DEFINITELY can guarantee a really good job at whatever it is I do. You need to do this to. Something to think about I guess. Love, Bobbi

I guess I would have to have a real close look at this Castle in order to see what it really looks like upclose and personal.

Let me tell you something, concerning that Wine Burgundy Private Castle, there is nothing like a GREAT BIG UGLY HOUSE WITH A GREAT BIG UGLY YARD IN FRONT OF IT! Have you ever wondered why these people in this big ugly worn looking castle doesn't bother to put grass in their front yard? Or why they don't want to keep up the maintenance on the house aka Castle??? See, me, over here, being an upper lower class single mom who has already raised her 2 kids but always wanted a nice house for them and never got one sits here and wonders why someone with one and a HUGE one at that wouldn't take care of their place. I'm sorry but I just don't get that. The only thing beautiful about this Castle that you went to is the large park in front of it with the trees. That's the only beauty to this place and do they really have a Wine Vineyard and if they do where is it and what condition is it in??? Love, Bobbi Ysmael aka LadyQueenScarab@aol.com I'm sorry but I had to say something.

Cher Jacques, bonjour! Chez moi if fait presque minuit! Un Grand Merci pour votre tres genereux commentaires, plus que genereux!!! I looked at 3 of your trips in France, this one included. The castles of Loire....ce sera jamais pour moi et c'est d'hommage!But we cannot have the cake AND eat it!! The flowers are all around us, around or in this bedtown where we live in the prefecture of Kanagawa, next to Tokyo. BY ALL MEANS, please make an album with your paintings! It would make a difference that I would welcome! The original scrolls containing the painted Tale of Prince Genji were restaured and presented in an exhibition in Tokyo in 1989. I got hooked when I visited it. The book I had read much earlier. And I always had a special liking for ukiyo-e without being able to explain "why"; it comes from somewhere inside me! Alors, a bientot! Gabriela du Japon
