My kitchen is not big, but for me it is ideal, although in these months in that she can have an improvement, I am thinking in to retire the galleries approximately and to leave the right roof and make an island. Nina also left me a meme in what concerns to would have to write the first sentences of the first book in having at hand.

"Oh !" said Alice "I’m not sure if I was able to do this." "Why not?" Ask the young man from New York. He was being persuading her to write a book about her life with Gertude Stein and the adventures that they shared." Because "Alice said " Gertude already write my biography and this fact " At the same time the young editor’s face became sad, and so as Alice had certain friendship for him, in the years following the Gertude´s pass away , she could said :. "One that I could make" in the most insecure way that her get and that was any heap to be that “Is a cook book " and soon later "Would to be, of course, full of life stories” and she kept the promise.

Não acredito que você morou perto do Colégio Santa Clara! Estudei lá do pré primário até o 3ºcolegial! Incrível como tantas pessoas que visitam os mesmos blogs moram ou já moraram tão perto umas das outras.
Acho que já nos cruzamos por aí...rsrsr
bjinho,
Nina.
