Not for the Halloween...not a fan of this holiday but due to your curiosity. I, too,am a busy-buddy. My daughter keeps trying to correct me and says, "Mom, the word is not busy-buddy but busy-body." I think busy-buddy is much more appropriate and speaks to a more innocent curiosity.

In the South you were "raised right" if you smile at people when you pass them on the street. I finally had a French friend tell me not to do that because in France people will assume you are stupid. You can only smile if you both witness something funny together, and then you will have a new best friendRebecca Vizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624934230655476973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008662464580606671.post-26791144293721348922014-10-09T07:32:06.023-07:002014-10-09T07:32:06.023-07:00I will give you ONE WEEK.........to solve the CASE...I will give you ONE WEEK.........to solve the CASE!Then I will hop on a plane and be your personal DETECTIVE.You will have to give me a CRASH course in FRENCH!XOLa Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682902106545680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008662464580606671.post-68262257808951911442014-10-09T07:20:02.857-07:002014-10-09T07:20:02.857-07:00Oh my gosh, Elie, I was on the edge of my seat rea...Oh my gosh, Elie, I was on the edge of my seat reading about your neighbors!
