it's been over 100 everyday for 2 weeks and expected in the future!! this usually doesn't happen until august but the 100's started in June. it is so dry, like a tinderbox, we're trying not to leave the place for fear of fire, if you've ever seen a prairie fire, once it's started only thing to do is get the hell out of dodge, it creates it's own winds and is totally unpredictable. i've got the cat cages, dog lease, suitcase with photos, important papers and keepsakes and suitcase with clothes next to the door, i need to be able to evacuate in 10 minutes. i've never seen it this dry, cracks are 2' wide, water lines breaking, it was 95 at 10:30 last night no breeze, 91 when i walked at 6 AM...... 2012 or global warning, take your pick all i know is i absolutely fall at the feet in adoraton of the man that invented air conditioning! Countess, one of my sisters and her family live down there in Texas and she echos the same thing as you. S he asked me to "PRAY FOR RAIN" for them. So, please everybody say a little prayer for the Texas - however you do it even if it's just sending out a good thought! Apparently it's one of the worse droughts ever. And the heat is really bad! She's already lost one home to fire - she doesn't want to lose another. It's devastating. With all the flooding in the mid-sections and South I don't understand why some engineers haven't been able to come up with some kind of "aqueduct type system" that would funnel the excess water from the flooded areas to areas that have a lot of droughts. Seems like it wouldn't be all that hard to come up with something. But what do I know. Prayers for RAIN for you guys down there! Back to St. Jude and The Blessed Virgin! They both do a pretty good job for me. Last night I was dreaming I was visiting countess home and how it could be feel like with the heat!!! You two will get my prayers I want you be protected by the guardian angels.

TG myadia has seen it all before and bought the t-shirt Thinking of you! It's hotter than hell in Philly. We usually don't get this kind of weather until August either. We are supposed to get a break (well if you call it that temp's in the mid-80's) this weekend. Too hot to even weed the garden. Funny how weeds don't mind the heat. We have another horse show this weekend so I'm hoping at least the humidity won't be unbearable.

In Belgium it is jo-jo weather... very hot and then weather gets colder... sometimes with 10 degrees difference on a one day! France is nicely hot and with storm here and there … but always perfect. (Sorry, Caro! For weather up-date...)

Anybody know where Caroline and family are hiding out these days? My guess is that they are seriously detoxifying somewhere after all the wedding and after-wedding stress...

Monaco spent €900,000 ($1,293,030) on this exhibit and they feel that it is a good investment. A large part of Monaco’s cultural budget goes to the Grimaldi Forum. the exhibit is exquisite, but is it really a good investment when only 2000 people visit the exhibit in the first week? Here’s a Monaco Matin article describing the preparation for the exhibit.
Exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum: "A great building block"Joëlle Deviras Sunday, July 10, 2011 The set design is an essential part of summer exhibitions at the Grimaldi Forum. A tour de force for the teams that took three weeks to install everything.
The site is in turmoil at the Grimaldi Forum. Ravel in space, the Glory and magnitude of exposure over Europe will be inaugurated this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. by Princess Caroline of Hanover. But last fortnight, it is a tour de force that engaged some eighty carpenters, upholsterers, painters, locksmiths and other utilities. Teams usually have three weeks to install the exhibition.
Twenty-one rooms to accommodate But this year, the tight schedule of the conference (with Gaim in the Espace Ravel, living on finance and wealth) prevented normal operation. A situation even more difficult "stage design by François Payet, with twenty-one rooms accommodate all connected to a central space in an oval, is one of the most complicated we've had, says New Gerard, director of events.
The pieces were made and "pre-assembled" in the workshop. Then it is a great construction game. "
Each year, visitors know: set design is an essential part of summer exhibitions at the Grimaldi Forum. The investment is also not incidental: nearly 900,000 euros each year. And the curator is very satisfied with the result. For Catherine Arminjon, "This is the realization of the idea with this central space, without light. It is very important because the flare has an equal desire. "
More than 700 works Assistant Commissioner, Patricia Bouchenot Déchin-rooms dedicated to the pilot over Northern Europe. It emphasizes "elegance of the place and the beautiful arrangement of spaces. It is an achievement because historically it was not a story for each landmark court.The result is very dense. "
The head of the Russian section, Wilfried Zeisler, sharing the same enthusiasm. The room he was in charge is based on the relationship between Russia and the Riviera. "In some ways, the fate of Russia has decided here. With the untimely death of Nicolas, son of Alexander II, the empire was taken over by his brother, the future Alexander III. And the tsar has tightened the valves ... "
Overall, this will be over 700 works, some never left their country, which offer visitors a journey through 400 years of history of kings and princes of Europe. ________________________________________ Learn more Glory and grandeur of the courts of Europe, from July 11 to September 11, at the Grimaldi Forum. Open daily 10 to 20 h. Thursday night until 22 pm Fee: 12 e. Free for children under 11 years. Tel. 99.99.30.00.

Geez, couldn't they get corporate sponsorship like Albert's wedding to off-set some of the expenses for this?

ROFL Thanks so much for the video Countess! This video confirms what other photos have shown and confirms reports from the few tourists and reporters who were there - Monaco was practically empty for this wedding. Some tourists who were there didn't even know about the wedding. The Monaco media propaganda is tried to convince the fools in Monaco that this wedding was an economical and image success - but that is an outright big fat LIE.

Okay which one of Charlenes relatives is jbridgforth? XD i take it i missed a flying monkey flunkie visit? No, they are referring to the commenter jbridgforth from the YouTube video that you just posted above. Below are jbridgforth's comments in reference to the other comments. jbridgforth's comments are typical of the comments that Charlene, her relatives and her flunkies make on royal message boards. They have always put down the Grimaldis in their attempts to build Charlene up. Charlene has always done this this is why I believe that Albert is the BIGGEST foolish SUCKER in Monaco - the true Village Idiot of Monaco for marrying this woman and now taking care of her entire family who all believe that the Grimaldis are trash and Charlene is the best thing that ever happened to him and Monaco. But, these same people BEGGED Albert for 5 years to marry Charlene. Any moron would see this as gold digger behavior - but since Albert is below a moron and below an imbecile - he is an IDIOT - so he doesn't have the intelligence to quite understand that he has been taken for a fool by these grifters. Monaco will suffer. Here are the comments from oldest to newest (bottom to top) - in which they were posted. More so, jbridgforth's comments shows the pure ignorance of the type of people who worship Charlene - they spew hatred at Caroline for what they call "not aging well", but praise Charlene who has a shitload of plastic surgery (starting before she turned 30) who now looks like a plastic zombie.

That family has/had it all but don't age well. Case in point, poor Caroline. She used to have even a sense of style, but in this costume, the only thing missing is a watering can. She and her hard looking little sis were visibly unhappy with their bro marrying a woman that far outshines the whole Grimaldi bunch....yeah, even Charlotte with her pouty, arrogant look. Charlene and that brother of her take my breath away. Chisled, statuesque and authentic. That's real glamor. jbridgforth1 1 day ago
Are you all kidding? She's (Caroline) a sagging, wrinkled shriveled up piece of what she used to be. Growing old happens to us all, but she looks way beyond her years. Maybe its too much of the good life, too much sun and ciggies. jbridgforth1 1 day ago

Because Charline is so arrogant, she refuses to rise to the occasion--it's much easier to try to tear down others to her level! What's new--she's been doing it for years! Such morons! If this doesn't show her mentality and those around her, and support her, I don't know what could be more revealing about her outside of everything that comes out of Chartard's mouth! But her actions speak louder than words, so no one really ever needs to hear her own words to have this girl's number, and to recognize her for what she really is...and of course what she is not not. Charlene in her mind might be a princess, but not in anyone else's? There is no amount of titles and tiara's that will ever make her a princess.
