Dear friends, Yesterday, the temps were stifling as Natalie and Lisa squeezed all the fun out of their last day. We all bought little $10 dresses, tops and pants, etc. at the market to be as cool as possible. They will most likely disintegrate when washed but they were cool and comfy. We began by […]
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, 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, 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 […]

Sharon and Johnny Tyson left via taxi at 6:50am for the airport, and Dennis and Jodie Clements will depart in their taxi about 3:30 for Barcelona and another 12-day round of touring and cruising. BUT not before we whisk them to a church service at […]
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 […]
Bonjour from Paris on a Sunday morning, We are hearing from so many of you about the terrible heat in the USA. Hopefully, you will get a break soon! Not to add salt to your wound, but yesterday in Paris was just perfect. I think the high was 68 degrees with a gentle breeze, and […]
Dear Friends, It’s 3pm in Paris and 87 degrees! That’s 15 degrees cooler than yesterday. It’s a bit cloudy off and on with a nice breeze. What a difference 24 hours can make! Hopefully, today’s blog will make up for the sparseness of yesterday’s. I must start, however, with some photos which I took last […]
