Bonjour mes amis, We are almost to the end of a fantastic visit with Carson and Natalie. They brought perfect weather after our unseasonably cool, rainy May. Actually, not a cloud in the sky while they have been here. For this Alabama gal, weather like this brings out the best of Paris. Yesterday was a […]
Bonjour mes amis, Two weeks from today, we’ll be lugging suitcases down 34 steps into a cab on our way to the airport and back to Alabama. Wow, the time has gone so quickly, but there’s much ground to cover yet with Bernie’s Alsace cousins company coming in on Tuesday. We will cherish these last […]

Bernie was born in […]

I was more enthralled than Bernie with the ambiance and unique displays. Here’s a quote from web site www.theinfatuation.com: “If you want […]
Bonjour, A quick hello this morning before we head off to Normandy via train/rental car for another hot, hot, day in France. It’s supposed to go up to almost 90 today! Our agenda was full yesterday as we zipped around to places on the list of “must-see’s” for the family. I’ll let the pictures tell […]
