Jackie - Yes indeedy chip shop is a takeaway place that sells chips, lovely big fat french fries, and things to go with them, fish, sausages, fish cakes pies and mushy peas or gravy. ooh I'm getting hungry now LOL
Funny to have to explain it but its a real british thing, there must be about 12 chip shops in the small town I live in.
Oh and I wanted to ask, where in Europe did you live and when?

You and Laura have Dolly Parton music in common. She loves to listen to Dolly, and we took her to see Dolly in concert last fall. A very exciting time!!

This is so much fun!! 1. I was born in Alaska, was there for the BIG earthquake in '64, although I was too young to remember. 2. I moved to an island in the Gulf of Mexico when I was 5, and I lived there for 11 years. 3. One of the most fun childhood memories I have is when the drawbridge would break down and I would have to ride to middle and high school in a boat. 4. I attended a 4 room, red elementary school, with a bell at the top. One room for library, one for lunch. 4th, 5th and 6th grade in one room, 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the other. 5. I have always wanted to be a nurse, and have been one for 27 years. 6. My ancestors (early 1800's) had to leave Scotland because they were accused of murder (innocent until proven guilty ) 7. My grandmother was an opera singer. I can't carry a tune. 8. I love musicals and plays. 9. A highlight of my life was seeing Richard Burton play in Camelot on stage. He was wonderful! 10. I have been best friends with my best friend for 41 years. I was 6, she was 4, when we first met. 11. I love to watch college football, nothing better than Auburn Football (well, you know what I mean). 12. I married a college football nut! 13. I love to travel. 14. I love my children and hubby dearly, but every now and then need a break. My hubby doesn't mind a bit when I take trips with my mom and sister. 15. I went to my first NDSC convention 3 years ago (Atlanta), and wondered why I waited so long. 16. I enjoy scrapbooking. 17. I secretly love Steven Seagal movies, the early ones. 18. My favorite vacation spot is on a beach, doesn't matter where. 19. I really don't like to cook. 20. I love to read, anything. 21. Fall is my favorite season. 22. I love family vacations where my mom and stepdad, sister and brother in law, and other family members join us. 23. My favorite non alcoholic beverage is Diet Coke, alcoholic beverage would be a margarita. 24. I have been very fortunate to meet several Uno-Maser's in person. 25. I am a very fortunate person, and thank God on a daily basis for all He has given me. Sharon

Lorraine...we lived in Landstuhl, Germany from '75-78. It is right on the French border in the Rhineland Pfalz part of Germany. We often just popped over the border and bought french bread for everyone in the apt. It was a grand 3 years...our kids were 5, 3, and 1 when we moved there. We had a trusty green pop top VW camper bus...and we saw as much of Europe as we could while we were there. Even made it to Russia (the old REAL Russia) and the other side of the wall in East Berlin, too. Had a ball! We were less than an hour from both the Rhine and Mosel Rivers...and often picnicked high above them in the vineyards and watched the barges.
