Each anecdote begins with a lie and ends with a truth. It's been really fun to add memories of life events and experiences.

Lisa Thomson I spent the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway and the Bulls in Spain, not to mention all their famous gang with many antics. Yes, I'm reading The Paris Wife and thoroughly enjoying it :)
