How important it is to know both dimensions; the dimension of the larger, unseen picture, but also the reality of how our small but IMPORTANT part in the whole matter really DOES MATTER. AND NOW FOR THIS GLORIOUS POST!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love to visit places like this where keen attention to the history of such a beautiful object are presented with such spectacular photos and prose. My goodness, leave it to the French to come up with such fantastic beauty for every day objects. LA JOIE DE VIVRE, par excellence!<br /><br />Have a wonderful week my dearest!
