Hi, Jackie!

No notifications here either. Now, not only are we still having server issues, my sounds are gone and my friends are all missing. Hope they fix the problems soon.

Honestly, Jackie, I don't remember which tale it was -- it was a zillion years ago. What I do remember was forgetting to do my homework after being assigned two pages to translate from the Middle English and read aloud to the class as they followed along the with the Middle English text. Two classmates were scheduled before me, so I was frantically scribbling my translation at my desk, praying that my teacher didn't see me, hoping against all odds to finish before she called on me. I was not done but fairly close when it was my turn. I walked to the front of the classroom, feigning nonchalance, and proceeded to read. Just as I was three sentences away from where I had not yet translated, the bell rang. Whew. As I was leaving, she stopped me. She was shaking her head, half-smiling, saying she thought for sure that I was not going to pull it off. She knew exactly what I had done. She congratulated me on how well I translated by the seat of my pants and suggested I not forget my homework again any time soon.

I googled Upstreet. Going to go look for photos of that area. It appears to be farmland in the satellite view. My ancestors are from just across the channel from you -- Pas de Calais. They migrated to Quebec,Canada. My great grandfather took his family from Quebec to Iowa.

Going to check back in on my game.
