    Hi Linda and Bernie,
    Pleased to hear that you have arrived safely and have seamlessly picked up from where you left off.
    We are very much looking forward to coming over from London to see you in Paris October and of course again in November.
    Love to you both,
    Malcolm and Antonia X

    Linda, it is so like you to give a tour while you are still jet-lagged! I know you are so happy to be there — I’m happy knowing you ARE there! Love to you both.

      Thanks, Jeanie. Many memories. The Red Wheelbarrow has reopened right next to Le Jardin du Luxembourg. We’ll be checking it out and looking for your book!

    Linda so happy you and Bernie arrived and got things squared away in such short time! I was tired just reading about all you had to do by noon! I can’t wait to read about your theme “lights” and also excited about my friends the Steigerwalds are coming over! Have a wonderful time with friends and enjoy!

    Let’s see if I can respond in order:
    – any pictures of this plane from tomorrow land?!
    – love the food spread on the coffee table…just my style!
    – glad no issues with the crazy ATM debacle
    – you slept ELEVEN HOURS?! Can you recall the last time YOU slept more than 7-8??
    – “Lights” sounds like a wonderful and magical idea!! Be sure your iPhone/camera lens is wiped clear so the photos don’t streak. On the iPhone, you can move your angle and it will auto adjust or click different places on the screen to see how the lighting changes. Suggest starting with allowing the phone to auto correct itself as tapping will be drastic changes to back ground and auto tends to best balance. This will be a good but challenging technical learning experience for you!!

      Oh my, not sure I’m as good with my phone as you are in taking pics. We’ll have to see how it goes. Bernie is using his camera. I took one picture of the plane, our pillow that said in French, Counting sheep…which I thought was cute.

    I thought you had found a new place to stay this year. One with air conditioning? I hear you are due for a heat wave!

      We tried to find one we could afford for 3 months but had no luck. It’s all good and we feel like we’re at home.

    Glad to know you arrived safely! I’m looking forward to living vicariously through your blog, photos and Ernie’s photographic talent with “Lights!” A great theme—indeed the City of Lights!

      The temps are quite nice…mid 70’s during the day. We are in our happy place. Dinner last night with our neighbor.
