November 11th, the stores are closed in France. Everyone is happy to have another holiday to help recover from the longer Toussaint holidays. In America, the Armistice of WWI is nearly forgotten. For my family, it is harder to forget. My grandmother's first memory is of the Armistice celebrations. She has told me many times:
"Of course, I was only 2, almost 3, so I didn't know what they were celebrating, but I remember how happy everyone was, what a wonderful time we all had. I found out later that it was the Armistice."
This weekend, my grandmother is celebrating her 90th birthday. I am very disappointed--of course!--not to be able to go, but I am thinking of her just the same. This post is dedicated to a wonderful woman who still manages to make the entire family burst out laughing with her stories.
I love you, Grandmommy.

Hi girl !
I'm french and I'm looking for an english corresponding to make my english better. I was of google and I typed "correspondance with american person" so I was directed by your blog (I find it very well but i didn't read all). I'm almost 18 years old and I propose you to correspond with me, if you're ok ! So write me an email again if you have the time and if not, then I wish you a nice day.
