    Happy to hear the weather is so nice. As I type this I am at a friend’s house in Leland, Mi. I’m sitting on their screened in porch enjoying a view of the lake and a blazing sun as it rises.

      Have a great time. So sad to read about the bus wreck with Mt. Zion Baptist.

    Happy weekend walking!

    Hadn’t heard of the salon de thé but was inspired to Google around — looks like it may be Sébastian Gaudard’s at 1, rue des Pyramides (?). Attached article mentions at end saying Le Figaro named best croque-monsieur in Paris 🙂 Now adding on my list too – merci! https://www.traveldk.com/article/croque-monsieurs-go-gourmet-in-paris/

    In case it might be of interest, my absolute favourite Paris croque-monsieur is from Café Fleurus, just outside the Luxembourg Garden at 2, rue de Fleurus, specifically their house specialty Croque Fleurus made with Fourme d’Ambert bleu cheese. If you or Bernie like bleu cheese/Roquefort etc. this is soooooooooooooooo good. (My hubby does not but enjoys their regular croque-madame.) The café is small and local and a regular stop for us. There’s also a Bread and Roses a block away which we keep meaning to try, but I can’t stay away from the Croque Fleurus.

    Cheers and bon dimanche à Paris.

    One more thought on the Diner En Blanc. I wonder if there is a correlation between the white tennis shoes becoming popular again as you mentioned in an earlier post and folks buying white shoes to wear at the Diner En Blanc? Especially if those attending the dinners could be trend setters.

      Bien sur (of course), definitely trend setters. Though white tennis shoes have never been popular in Paris prior to current times, as far as I know!

    Great pictures of Parisians having fun. Loved the ones along the Seine particularly.

    Linda, great to hear from you as always. Today Judy and Carey were at Peggy and Jim Bilbao for Judy Waters (WLRH) party. The Bilbao’s said they were excited about visiting you all in Paris. Stay safe. Judy and Jim
