You really don't have to be cautious with me ;)....you can ask me anything! We Dutch are very open (well most of us..)
My real name is Franciska and I live near Amsterdam. Ít's a variant of your mothers name. Frances is Latin -Francesca is Italian and I suppose mine is more German :( They're all a form of the Late Latin name Franciscus which meant "Frenchman". This name was borne by the 13th-century Saint Francis of Assisi, who was originally named Giovanni but was given the nickname Francesco by his father, an admirer of the French. Francis went on to renounce his father's wealth and devote his life to the poor, founding the Franciscan order of friars.
Well, I didn't know that either. So, your mother and I should have a talent for speeking French..uhuhuhu Au revoir, madame
Franciska, it took awhile to search for some specific information in order to respond to your post. A special family birthday celebration delayed the search. You'll find the information and link in the latest post--the profound bicep challenge:)
Wow, very impressive...you're the greatest!!

Well, thank you Franciska. Here's a bit of trivia for you - my mother's name is Frances:)
ReplyDeleteIs Franciska a Spanish name, or are you in San Francisco?:)
No need to answer, if you'd rather not.
