    I love Life With Dee, I have a connection with France thru my Grandfather on my Mothers side. My Grandfather was sent to France during the war. Please remember I do spell words wrong do to having a brain tumor. It is so refreshing to me to find you. I have had hope to go to France since I was 12 years old. Thank You so much to find someone that has the same desire as I do.There is alot I do not know how to do on the computer, like save stuff.
