Bonsoir mes amis, Update! Hot off the press! Just got everything to work with Google Chrome! This blog post is now surpassed!!! First the bad news. There will not be pictures on the blog until either Apple or Word Press figures out their incompatibility. So very frustrating. If you are on Facebook or Twitter, I […]
Bonsoir, Today has all been about pictures! Read on and you will understand. How funny life can be on certain occasions. We had two wonderful opportunities today to pursue fabulous pictures, and 0-la-la, would you belive that we left the apartment without the chip in our camera! I was the last to use it so […]
Dear Friends, Today has been such fun, the kind of day we truly love. First of all, the weather is glorious: clear, crisp, cool and made for outdoor adventure. Before we left the apartment, I was making us a ham and cheese omelet for lunch when Bernie burst into the apartment just as the omelet […]
Bonsoir mes amis, Charles and Judy Gattis left Paris this morning to catch their plane at Orly. We put them in the cab with many hugs and well wishes after eight glorious days exploring together. The rest of our day was taken up with cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping. We needed a catch-up day and […]
Dear Friends, If we seemed to have disappeared, it’s because we did! We have been without any internet or cable connection for almost two days due to a major outage in the general area. Wow, we’ve all been having withdrawal. It just came back up and I’ll try to whiz through the highlights of our […]
Bonsoir, Today has been a summer day in Paris with temps in the 80’s. Mix this with a fall wardrobe and we were pretty uncomfortable. I started in one outfit, a light, cotton sweater and scarf, and ended the day much lighter. Poor Judy has fewer choices with her travel attire and has just had […]
Bonsoir mes amis, Our side trip from Paris to Normandy with Charles and Judy was “fantastique.” Packed with history, emotion, patriotism, past sacrifice and a salty, blowing wind, our two days were almost perfect. This trip fulfilled Charles’ heart desire to someday visit Normandy, and despite our exhaustion, we will have memories to last […]
Bon soir, A beautiful day in Paris almost always beckons us up the mountain to Montmartre. It is a favorite of ours and evokes a wistful sense of all the great artists who painted from its lovely mountainsides such as Renoir, Picasso and Salvador Dali. It is what I fondly call “old Paris” and the […]
Bonsoir mes amis, Paris weather is absolutely beautiful, and according to the locals, making up for their August which was untypically cool and rainy! How lucky we are to benefit from this quirk of events. The leaves are starting to change, the days are shorter, and the chestnuts are EVERYWHERE, big lovely chestnuts. If you’re […]
Wow, what a long, crazy, but fun day. Most of you by now know that we have been in a 2-star hotel since getting to Paris on Thursday due to a miscommunication with our landlady. The start of our day’s journey would have made a great movie. Charles and Judy Gattis were due to arrive […]
