    1. Thank you for the kind compliment Reverend Arnoldo. I could have been an opera singer had it not been for my voice.

      Best wishes and God bless you.

  2. I have not seen Carmen and I don't really understand - but it was sure cute!

    1. Cute? Losing a shoe is not cute I tell you. Now with only one shoe I walk with a pronounced limp. That's L I M P - pronounced limp.

      God bless, Sandie.

  3. I love how you turned this into a little musical moment. “I lost my shoe” is such a funny and unexpected twist on Carmen’s famous Habanera. A tiny bit of drama, a little humour, and a lot of personality.

    1. I'm so glad you liked my version of the translated lyrics. The original about love being a rebellious bird were so dull.

      God bless, Melody.

    1. The thing is, I just had a new sole put on that shoe I lost. The other shoe did not need it.

      God bless you, Bill.

    1. No ... the shoe is still missing. And so is the expected contract from any Opera Company.

      God bless, Martha.
