I confess, I'm hooked on Marge's challenge I'll never hear them yelling here "Mama get off that train" cause if I should it wouldn't be right they would be shouting in vain you wonder why? Well I can tell no trains are running 'round in this here open country I live we hear no Tsjuk Tsjuk sound between the water Westerschelde and border of Belgium land we only have some villages and lots of beaches full of sand when my girls were eight or nine I thought it should be really fun to show them what a train looks like so this is what I've done I did take a train in Vlissingen just after I took the ferryboat to visit my aunt in Haarlem packed and carrying quite a load and when we were leaving the station I was ready to explain but they started giggling loud arousing all people in this train for two hours long I wasn't able to get a word there in between a giggling orgie between strangers something I've never seen so when they finally quiet down the train did stop at Rotterdam "Mama get off this train" they yelled and I said nearly damn it seemed a bridge was broken and we had to proceed by bus there I went with two giggling girls ordering them to 'hush' to tell a long story rather short it took me most of the day to get to my aunt in Haarlem wich was an ordeal I'd say so really I am quite happy that I hear no Tsjuk Tsjuk here "Mama get off that train" is something that I no longer fear A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... Want to use the pics on my website? Just let me know. http://communities.msn.com/Titiasplace [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (edited 12-08-2001).] |
