I really wanted to have it (it was a good bargain and the last article in the stock) and said that I am going to repair the damage. <BR/><BR/>Poor girl was genuinely shocked: are you able to sew??? she asked. <BR/>Of course I said, my mother taught me when I was a kid.<BR/><BR/>She answered with big eyes: oh, I think it was a terrible time for you learning to sew.<BR/><BR/>When home, I repaired the fabric in 5 minutes. <BR/><BR/>That much about feminine tasks and nowaday girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-58151621402459424132007-05-25T16:43:00.000-04:002007-05-25T16:43:00.000-04:00Thank you!!Thank you!!elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-90700323691966952892007-05-25T11:41:00.000-04:002007-05-25T11:41:00.000-04:00The special cause for her Canonization can be foun...The special cause for her Canonization can be found in english in a book called "Fresh Verdicts on Joan of Arc." They are a series of essays by different authors, some are good and some not so good. <BR/>In addition the sites you have listed on your blog to the St Joan centre have the miracles listed there as well.<BR/><BR/>de BrantignyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-69659682703318047322007-05-24T21:02:00.000-04:002007-05-24T21:02:00.000-04:00Great suggestions, Terry!

I went there a few years ago and I can tell you that it was pretty rugged getting there in a car!! I admire the people that climbed up there in the Middle Ages.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-40488890816322185692007-05-24T16:18:00.000-04:002007-05-24T16:18:00.000-04:00A"feminist"!

She says so at her trial. <BR/><BR/>Incidently her mother, called Isabel la Romee was an interesting person. We have been led to believe that in the middle ages people traveled very little, yet she made a pilgrimage to Rome. I am not led to believe that she was married at the time.<BR/><BR/>de BrantignyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
