The ladies in the parlor,
made a fuss over Bones.  

Commented on what
a good boy he seemed.  

That night, Mom
tucked Bones into bed.  

Then she dressed herself up
real nice,
and put on her golden
slave bracelets.  

Then she left Bones
alone in the room,
and joined the other ladies
in the parlor.  

She kissed Bones goodnight,
before she left.

Bobby

Thanks dear Kacy,

Even though he never learned French, he did enjoy his stay in Quebec City.  He still visited there when he was in the area on business.  It's a lovely place.

Love Bobby

Thanks Mark,

Bones/Bobby has spent a lot of time there in his life--Montreal, Quebec, Grand Mere, and Shawinigan.  I love the area.  I visited there as a child, and consulted there before I retired from Engineering.

I always enjoyed zooming down the highways in the winter snows.  I was lucky I wasn't arrested for speeding.  BTW, I don't do that anymore.

Thank you for the kind invitation.  I hope you get to spend some time in my beautiful city of Philadelphia.  Let me know, and I'll show you around.

Bobby

Her golden slave bracelets....You're full of suprises Bobby.

Poor Bones he's left alone again.

Eric,

That's what they were called in those days.  They were just ladies braclets, but perhaps a little thick and heavy.  

Bones was safe there, with many people around.  Mother would never leave Bones in a dangerous situation.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Bobby
