CathyO's Scratchboard

I'm not sure if scratchboard is the right term for the top name. It is a card that arrived inside the envelope done by Miss Cathy. Miss Cathy called this Ronde. I call it French roundhand. Ronde might be the word *round* in French. I could Google it to find out, but I am having a bit of a lazy spell.

Side note to anyone who has a smart phone and grandkids who are fairly young but still understand the concept of different languages. If you have Siri or someone like Siri on your phone, you can ask things like, "How do you say Alexandra in Mandarin?" You will get an answer and it will give Alexandra the giggles. Then, if the kid is intrigued, they can ask to hear all kinds of other words in other languages.

Side note to side note - if you do not like Siri's voice, you can change her to an Australian male. Once in a while, the Australian male will make grown ups laugh - if they have never heard him before.
