On that side of the river, marigold, snapdragons, roses and forget-me-nots. Let me tell you Madeleine! The sun shines there even when it is not! The dinner is served on the clock. Almost always the same spot. When you're full and well recovering from the days meal. There comes Otto asking "do you want to take a drive with me to the sea?". As we get home, we are rich, with our pockets full of shells. Sand between our toes. Some words not said but felt. See on that side of the river time hit pause. Everything where I left it. I swear to you Madeleine-Just the way it was! -M.B.
