Bonjour, Saturdays in Paris are lively, busy, jammed with shoppers, café-sitters, and street performers, all graced yesterday with mostly blue skies and a cool breeze. What could be better. Bob has been in short sleeves, no coat, the entire time. The rest of us have been laden with raincoats, umbrellas, scarves, and sweaters. He’s lovin’ […]
Bonjour, Running behind today but know everyone wants pictures so here goes. Hate to even say this about yesterday but we ended up late morning with blue skies and temps in the upper 60’s’. Our hearts bleed for you in Alabama, but at least you have A/C! We started at perhaps our favorite small museum, […]
Bonjour mes amis, One of greatest joys is sharing Paris with good friends. We’ll be doing a lot of that this year! Yesterday amid wonderfully cool temps, we greeted Bob and Cindi Ludwig at Orly airport. Their flight was thirty minutes early but we were there just in time to capture their grand entrance. (Taking […]
Bonjour, We are eagerly awaiting the Ludwigs and will greet them at Orly airport in just a little while. They are flying the same boutique French airline that we do. Hope they managed to sleep 4-5 hours. It really does help! Yesterday was another gray day, cool, windy, but not much rain. We made the […]
Bonjour, C’est Mercredi in Paris. (It’s Wednesday) We are one day shy of welcoming Bob and Cindi Ludwig to Paris. Can’t wait to host them and hopefully better weather. Yesterday Paris was a taupe gray as reflected in the image at the top of the blog of the Montparnasse Tower. I find it interesting that […]
Bonjour mes amis, After a totally rainy day in Paris on Sunday which resulted in no photos and thus no blog, we were back to a delightful weather day yesterday consisting of a few errands and then a reunion! Many of you know Jim and Peggy Bilbro and how hard a battle they fought to […]
Bonjour, Sundays are my favorite in Paris, especially Sunday mornings. The city is so quiet, slow, easy. It’s still a family day and still a church day for a few. It begins to liven up about mid-afternoon. Fewer restaurants are open, and rain is predicted …desperately needed. And of course, the church bells currently ringing […]
Bonjour, I find myself wondering how we could be blessed with such gorgeous weather, and then I remember all the 100 degree days with no A/C we’ve endured in past summers. Conclusion: we deserve it!! Hope the heat in Alabama has finally tempered some. It is also truly wonderful to be away from the hateful […]
Bonjour, This is only Day 6 in Paris but feels so quickly like home to us. Last night our beloved proprietors at Le Bouquet St. Paul reappeared. We thought they had also sold out, but we discovered they had been on vacation. How nice to see them again!! It is our favorite little haunt which many […]
Dear Friends, We wish for you in Alabama and other ridiculously hot places to have Paris weather. At 3pm yesterday afternoon, it was 65 or so, with enough breeze to feel chilly in the shade. It was a gorgeous and productive day for us which started early with a thorough vacuuming of our apartment, doing […]
