Téléfrançais – L’ANANAS!!!!!
Oh. My. GAWD. YouTube has EVERYTHING. We watched a kids show that taught basic French to students, and with some help from The Google, I found Téléfrançais, the zany adventures of a talking pineapple in French class for years when I was in high school.

Aunt Judy
For the past couple of days I’ve been working on this site for the paper. It’s the sort of “home” for the year-long (and a bit) series of cancer stories written by people in our community.
