I would have loved to meet both Onkel Otto and Uncle Eric, they both seemed like nice gentlemen.<br />She was very lucky to have a multi-generational family home.<br />I have loved jeans from a young girl, and they're still my favorite fashion choice.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-15437792929274777412013-04-19T08:33:18.851+12:002013-04-19T08:33:18.851+12:00Nice one Monica!

I certainly do it all the time and I think for the most part that's one of the purposes of comments. It creates a dialogue. On this occasion for some reason it just seemed a bit out of place.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-72637225236674350132013-04-19T08:26:33.260+12:002013-04-19T08:26:33.260+12:00Ah yes Pat.

I never sat in the bath with my jeans but I was young in the 1970s and I've loved jeans ever since.

Also, thank you for taking something from my blog as an inspiration for your own blog post. You know I would not have it considered out of place, had you written a long comment often using the word "I" - but of course, turning it into your own post is even better!<br />(This made me, by the way, think that I often write "I"-comments... maybe I need to change this and relate more directly to what the person whose blog it is has actually written than expanding on what it has to do with me.)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-40264069388098296972013-04-19T01:43:39.241+12:002013-04-19T01:43:39.241+12:00I too have reason to be thankful to Uncle Eric.

Thanks to you Graham and to your Uncle Eric. Spesh 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044378302911602273noreply@blogger.com
