Your post brought back fond memories...Hello Wendy,<br /><br />Your post brought back fond memories of a friend's Casablanca party. All white jackets, Ingrid Bergman look alikes( well, almost) and Gin.....plenty of Gin.<br /><br />This book sounds like a jolly good fun read. A positive sparkling Christmas present and we are certain that it would have kindled in our minds too a desire to recreate the Golden Hollywood days that Bogart and Bergman captured so well.<br /><br />It sounds as if your Christmas was a happy one and for that we are glad. We wish you every happiness, peace and success in 2015. Thank you so much for your kind comments. They matter. A lot.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-21096604325490719012015-01-08T17:08:15.205-04:002015-01-08T17:08:15.205-04:00I like the Hemingway one...have not heard that bef...I like the Hemingway one...have not heard that before.<br />And yes...that's the book I was thinking about..About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-69794891836362251752015-01-08T14:32:05.706-04:002015-01-08T14:32:05.706-04:00I'd heard that.
