Randy and I have been to Scotland twice, and it's my favorite place in the world.

I enjoyed...Thanks for this neat challenge, Tabatha. I enjoyed trying to figure out the French, though like you I availed myself of Google and other translators. My native French speaking friend suggested just today that the last line should read et tout l'amour dans chaque recoin, so remove the word "que".<br /><br />On to a poem in Italian the next time I can try. Thank you for including mine along with your heartfelt poem. I love this idea. <br />PS I am not fluent in French, I studied Spanish but have not used it in ages and well, Italian, the language I heard as a young child which I believe I can learn fairly easily especially if I am going to visit my last living cousin in Italy. I hope that the virus problems ease up as I had plans to travel there. And with anything, the more you practice the better it is....so that is an issue but perhaps in this age I can find someone to communicate with.<br />Thanks again,<br />Janet F. skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-78117055503326951002021-04-09T18:40:46.551-04:002021-04-09T18:40:46.551-04:00Thanks for hosting!
