I'll just sing and dance "Turkey Lurkey Time" for Besty, it doesn't have his name in it but I know he likes the head-popping and the nonsensical lyrics...any volunteers to accompany me?
Liza says "I love ya, dahling!".
This is the best "best" thread I ever got.
Such rallying of support! Such silliness!
If Turkey Lurkey be the food of love...
Play on!!!

Can we pretend this is in Paris?
I"m a Best12 fan too!
Gorgeous pic, Jane2!
Is that one of yours?
Wowzer! Take me away!
Yes it is, and interestingly-this is the top of a new building that the artist Julian Schnabel is building on top of an already standing one. Some people think it's an eyesore but I think it's stunning!
It's in my neighborhood and I'm trying to think of a way I can ever get inside there!
It looks straight out of the Amalfi Coast!
I thought you'd visited Italy recently.

Jane - it looks like they keep those top windows open - you and Besty should pull a Batman and Robin routine and scale the outside of the building!

Can I just add to the B12B love?

Not Paris, but Giverny seems like a perfectly wonderful day trip
*big smooch to linnie*
Next time I'm in Paris, DG, I have to "day trip" to Giverny. It truly is walking around in a Monet painting.
We did one day trip on our visit and that was to Versailles. No regrets there, I just want to go back and see more now!
I love that photo, DG.
The red building is still under construction. I tried to crop that part out. It's so gorgeous, full of arched terraces, very European. I'll post a pic when it's done!

Not sure why we're posting photos of Paris, but "I'd do anything for you, Best, anything, for you mean everything to me!" Thinking of you, my sweet. XOXOXO
(And I did take these.)

LOL-Besty-these birds are all French. I know because I asked them. They are posing for the camera!
Those photos are stunning Pennywise. Just wow!
Aw, thank you, Tazzy! There are a lot more where they came from (well, actually, more south!) Taking pictures in France is the easiest because everywhere you look is a photo op! If Besty wants 'em, I'll post 'em!
Here's just one more for now:
Knowing that someone with the wit, charm, taste and talent of best12bars would enjoy a good cartoon reference, I have to say that the picture of the Louvre made me think of the episode of "Pinky and the Brain" where Brain is pretending to be Napoleon in his efforts to take over the world.
They're in a coach and riding past the Louvre and Brain asks, "Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
To which, Pinky replies, "I think so Brain! That building would look great with a huge glass Pyramid in front of it!"

Now here's an authentic French abstract I purchased in France today, for you, Besty!
oy, I get so carried away!
Wow, gang, these photos and artwork you posted are so beautiful! We'll always have Paris.
sondheimboy2--Love the "Brain" quote! Perfect.
Miss Penny--I'm stowing away in your suitcase the next time you go.
Thanks to all!
