Tour de France

I left Paris the day before the exciting
finish of this year's Tour de France, so I didn't
get to see the riders pedaling up the
Champs Elysées or this year's winner in the
yellow jersey.  But I got the general 
idea when I visited this toy store last Friday.

si tu veux (jouer) / if you want (to play)

and you're in Paris (lucky you), step into this
beautiful toy shop in the Galerie Vivienne.
The owner will help you choose just the right thing
from among the many not plastic, not annoyingly noisy,
beautifully designed jouets she has on hand.

Thursday Challenge—"toys"

I saw these bouncy thingies for sale at the
Saturday market in Sarasota.  And they really get
around:  I saw the same little toys for sale
last September at a street market in Budapest.

Thursday Challenge — "toys"

Here where I work we all have toys (check out the
dinosaur in the background).  We were especially
excited when we got this swell remote-control
 flying shark to play with (though it was not easy
to maneuver!)—and had lots of fun sending it into the
conference room while a meeting was taking place.  :~}

Thursday Challenge — "toys"

Doesn't everyone have toys in their office?  Well, if

you work at a magazine devoted to little kids

and their parents, you probably do!
