The fruits of my works.

I have had a very interesting week in Switzerland. Intensive French classes in the morning (conducted in French, no English allowed) and several other subjects in the afternoon. I learned a few things:

One, I really need to do more to keep up my French. Especially speaking it more...

Second, most of my other subjects I have studied before, like organizing various types of parties or style analysis, but that was mostly with my mother, aunt Beatrice or self study from books. Having a truly knowledgeble a teacher pull it all together is wonderful. Their knowledge and skills just helps me to give that extra bit of polish.

We had classes last week in table scaping, complete with creating our own flower arrangements etc. This was the result of my idea yesterday:

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I am having a great time.

Wade! You could use this theme and have a 18th Century Western themed party and wear your cowboy hat!

Oh, I haven't gotten a chance to wear my cowboy hat since the unfortunate Halloween incident. We should totally do this!
