Have a great week !!

AUDREY LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE

 

Cool attitude at the hairdresser – old style, yeah !

We all do take the subway, don’t we ?

You might do well in adopting a few of her mottos . So wise.

 

Got a headhache ? Or is the sun too strong ? Or are you bored to death ?

 

Modernly in her thoughts

Always playful that girl !

So simple and natural

 

“Am I taking this one or the next car ?”

Ouh la la !

 

Serious and so high maintenance

 

I’ll listen to that too

 

“Dah ! You geek ! “

 

Such tenderness ; it melts you up in a second .

 

Well,we don’t usually go to the grocery store with such friends, but every body is different !

Relaxing

 

“You know what I think about that ?”

 

What a smile !

So long Grande Dame !
