    And to think iced tea is a southern thing. Love the dessert photo.

    I’m so sorry you’re experiencing the canicule but as always it is a total joy to read your blog. So excited for you about autumn 2019 and will keep all fingers and toes firmly crossed for getting that great-sounding apartment!

    I always say any time is the best time for Paris but if I had to pick JUST ONE it would without doubt be the months Oct-Dec. Yay!!! and happy early 80th to Bernie!! Hope we can help you celebrate one way or another in Paris 🙂

    Every bit of your lunch looked delicious. All positive thoughts for tomorrow’s rain xx

    I can really feel your discomfort about the heat. I was in Paris that awful summer of 1976, and the only place to be found with air conditioning was an ice cream parlor on the Champs d’Elyssee. Your lunch looks great.

    I’m sure there are plenty of good reasons, but I’ve wondered why y’all schedule your visit in the summer. Seems like fall or spring would be more comfortable and maybe less crowded. Has the Thanksgiving store opened? They new apartment sounds great – hope it works out.

      Unfortunately, it appears that the Thanksgiving store is closed for good.The summers were not so hot ten or twelve years ago. They seem to get worse each year.

    Will keep our fingers crossed you get that other apt. Sounds as if it’d be heavenly. And what fun visiting in the fall with Christmas upcoming. Keep healthy. We’re falling apart. Will catch you up when you return.😘

      Oh, dear. That doesn’t sound good. Hope it isn’t Charles’ hip.

    Linda, the Paris heat reminds me of the two dumbest mules my dad had when we lived in Oklahoma. One hot summer dad had left the mules in the barn and it got so hot in that barn that the popcorn up in the loft started popping. Those stupid mules thought it was snowing and froze to death!

    Linda,
    I hope you get the new apartment. It sounds like all things things your current apartment isn’t. I always love your dining experiences. The pictures are enticing and your descriptions enhance the photos.
