I know Federer's amazing but somehow i didn't want the record taken away from Borg! Nadal played fantastically, never once relenting.

I had an umbrella once which pictured the famous painting by Gustave Caillebotte of a rainy day in Paris. Everyone use to comment on it and express how much they loved it -- these were just passers-by on the street.<BR/><BR/>I did a painting once of China Town in the rain. I won't comment on it though. You can check it out by going here http://loissimon.com/034_34.htm<BR/><BR/>Thank you Coltrane and Alexa for your "get well" wishes. I haven't had a cough this bad for years. I was talking to my daughter yesterday and I said, remember the time I cracked two ribs because I was coughing so hard. She remembered! She must have been only three years old at the time. Merci again for your up-beat and caring support.<BR/><BR/>Guille, Way to go!!!! I hate exams. I am so happy that part of my life is over. That is what I was thinking when I read your comment.Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-64495241422112014742008-07-06T23:54:00.000+02:002008-07-06T23:54:00.000+02:00I guess Monday's Wimbledon match will not be neces...I guess Monday's Wimbledon match will not be necessary since Nadal outlasted Federer.

I think Lynn's prediction about a Monday match is likely to happen.

As for the red face, just following Petrea's example and mixing things up a little. <BR/><BR/>By-the-by, there was a photo essay in today's NY Times about a young Parisian woman visiting Chicago. She loved the city.."We knew that it was a city rich in architecture, but we didn't know it was such a great city for contemporary art and for culture." My kind of town is also a Parisian's kind of town.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517790803064076327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1101103557150008602008-07-06T14:42:00.000+02:002008-07-06T14:42:00.000+02:00Guille...great news!
