“I could spend all night writing to you… I am your ever faithful wife. Good night my dear friend, it is midnight. I think it is time for me to go to bed.” Marie Dubosc wrote these lines in 1758. They were addressed to her husband, Louis Chambrelan, a lieutenant on the Galatée, a French warship. But the letter never reached its destination, the husband’s ship had been captured by the British, and Marie was never to see him again. She died in Le Havre the following year before Louis Chambrelan was released from captivity.

  1. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
    but I had to tell someone!
