Bonjour, My blogs may be a little shorter as July company has begun. What fun! We welcomed Jodie and Dennis Clements to Paris yesterday morning after a scary misunderstanding. The hotel where they are staying told us they had no record of their reservation! We were scrambling trying to think of another hotel for them, […]
Good Thursday morning, How could I forget yesterday to say Happy Fourth of July?! I hope your celebrations were festive, the food delicious, and all your cook-outs not too hot. The temps have cooled here just a little but still no rain. I have two pieces of great news. We just got the call from […]
Bonjour, Yesterday was the perfect Paris day…idled away at sidewalk cafés… talking, eating, sipping with Carolyn Barnabo and husband Clive, new friends we met last year from England. Carolyn is a writer/blogger herself, Paris-enthusiast, and owner of a Paris apartment in the Passy area. I encourage you to enjoy her blogging at https://mysydneyparislife.wordpress.com. They, like […]
Bonjour mes amis, It’s Tuesday in Paris under slightly cloudy skies with a forecast high of 83 degrees, cooler than yesterday. It has been sticky and sweltering with little relief when air conditioning is not available. Even the locals suffer and tend to stay inside. We did receive some very good news later in the […]
Bonjour, Thanks for allowing me to whine and write out my frustration over my lost luggage. My son called it a “first-world problem” (so true, given the crazies that are happening everywhere) and Bernie’s comment was, “Linda, it’s not like your house burned down.” Yes, both are correct, but I as Woman needed a day […]
Bonjour! C’est Dimanche. It’s Sunday morning after a festive, fun, busy week. We are resting up for a new exciting week ahead…a trip to Norway’s coastal region with Bernie’s French cousins, Pierre and Laurie Verdier. You’ve met them many times before if you’ve been on the blog for a while. We link up with them […]
Bonjour, First a word about yesterday’s post. About 7:25am, the crazy system took over from me and posted without my initiative a post that had only one paragraph and no pics. Some of you noticed and commented. Later, I updated that post to the real thing with commentary and lovely photos. It all depends on […]
Bonjour mes amis, If you’ve been on my blog for years, you know that Montmartre is my favorite spot in Paris. If you have our book, “Bernie’s Paris,” I invite you to reread the section describing my attachment to this little Eden of old Paris bliss. I worked diligently with each carefully chosen word to […]
Bonjour, Monday morning in Paris was full of fun, at least for me. I convinced Bernie to seek out a concept store called Merci, rather famous it seems and right in our neighborhood. 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, Sundays in Paris are my favorite as the morning quiet is unlike any other day. The traffic is minimal and many of the streets in the Marais become pedestrian only for Sunday afternoon shopping and strolling. There is an amazing desire for all good things to stay the same, but alas, they rarely do. […]
