Whether you are retired, still working, raising a family, or eagerly on your way to doing something else with your life, caregiving will eventually come to sit at your front door step. Whether you are rich, poor, healthy, struggling or just ordinary – caregiving will find you. Whether you are a doctor, a museum CEO, […]
Bonjour mes amis, There are few sections of Paris as vibrant as the Marais and when the weather is near perfect, it’s truly hard to have anything but a great day. We were out and about in the blue skies and crisp, cool temps most of the day, here and there catching up on […]
Bonjour, It’s very important to make note of Mondays in Paris and plan accordingly. Mondays are not as casual as Sundays but not fully operational either. Certain patisseries, cafes, hair salons, shops and musuems are closed which can really sidetrack well-laid plans. Traffic is less and those who worked in service industries all weekend often […]
Bonjour, We have been in Paris exactly one month, and today is the first full day of unpleasant weather. How lucky are we! We decided to do a late brunch at one of our most adored spots, the Jacquemart-Andre Museum Cafe in the eighth arrondissment off Boulevard Haussmann. There is a wonderful exhibit at the […]

Bonsoir, We were delighted to hear from many of you with comments on yesterday’s adventure with the pink Eiffel Tower. Thanks for all the kind words. After such a marathon of spectucular delights yesterday, today will seem almost bland. It has been warmer than expected and the sun did break through for much of the […]
Bonsoir, Wow, what a day. We left the apartment at 1pm and returned at 9pm with at least five miles of walking including hundreds of stops on these tired, weary feet. BUT, we had some amazing good luck and achieved all that we set out to accomplish. The weather when we left was cold and […]
Dear friends, Today is cool in Paris with a low of 51 and a high of only 57 with a moderate wind making it feel much cooler. Heavy rain is on the way tonight. I forgot to bring any gloves and I have so many at home. I found some “sort of” gloves for only […]
