I thought the extra hour from the time change would make me feel more awake.

Sorry folks, time’s up - so stop your searching.

The correct answer is…“Les Parapluies De Cherbourg”.

Now on to the next question.

Lauriate don’t mean to seem like a dummy, but for those of us who can only read and speak English, what does yours say?

Deniseann Taylor - I know you’re no “dummy“, Deniseann. I always read all your interesting postings and there‘s no way you could fall into that classification. . The term …“Les Parapluies De Cherbourg”, refers to a very popular French movie from at least a decade ago. I hoped the WOW’ers would remember it because of it’s fame and because it was translated into English as, “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”.  A lovely movie with enchanting music by Michele Legrand.

With a lovely French sounding name, like Deniseann, I would have thought it second nature for you to catch this one. Sorry if I confused, but I’m happy to have the chance to speak to you. LR.

Lauriate thank you, I enjoy writing to you as well.  I only made it through one semester in French in high school then switched over to Spanish.  And I can only count in Spanish thanks to Sesame Street, lol.  My father named me but because he never had a son and I was the tomboy he called me Deni, and I’ve gone by that name my entire life.  I’ve a saying I say to people when I meet them, "Hi my name is Deni, not like the restaurant I don’t discriminate."  That has opened many doors for me, being able to use my name to remind people of the kind of prejudice there is in this country  and so they don’t forget what happened in Denny’s,

I never heard of the movie but I’ve put a search in place to locate it so I may see it myself.

Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to move your clocks back an hour.  Deni

Lauriate - Thanks for the reminder - a wonderful movie - "legrand" music.  Patty

Patty I’m so glad you saw it and liked it.  Not everyone appreciated it because of it’s operatic format, but if one can live with that style, they certainly should enjoy the movie.  Wonderful music. (Thanks for telling me).LR.
