How very interesting. Makes one probably feel like home.
Please have a good Friday.
I am ready to eat.
Interesting sign!
I love it.
Interesting. Very cool.
A good reason for drinking a glas of wine from time to time.
You will not guess the price we pay for it in a restaurant here in Norway...... :(
I like the lettering. You'll have to go and tell us all about it but don't drink water!
sometimes bad wine makes good legs tremble.
I confirm :-)

God bless you!

Funny quote and interesting information on Ladin.
