Dear Bob Mr. Redford,I just had to write to tell you how hot and sexy talented, I think you are.
Laura and I bickered over who was more desirable — Robert Redford or Clint Eastwood — with as much fervor as we girls once debated who our favorite Beatle was, Paul or John, George or Ringo.

That is quite a memorial she had built, I would love to see it in person one day. Bet they would get a kick out of Albertopolis!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it make a great title for a book?
DeleteWe were all around this, but managed to miss it. A little too far south when we were at the Science Museum. A little too far north when we were in Kensington Gardens because we were focused on tracking down the Peter Pan statue and checking out The Orangery.
ReplyDeleteFunny! We found the Peter Pan statue but missed the Orangery completely!
