Favorite Churches of Paris
Bon Dimanche, Happy Sunday and Happy Fathers’ Day to everyone. On this Sunday, it seems appropriate to highlight some of our favorite churches in Paris. Certainly most are Catholic but there are a few scattered around which are wonderfully different like the American Cathedral of Paris which is high Anglican. This is where we worship […]
The All-Time Favorite…Cafe Chairs of Paris
Bonjour mes amis, We understand from several folks that Paris is “okay” but crowded, and full of construction. Not all subway lines are functional. First-time visitors won’t know the difference, but I’m thinking that we would. Well anyway, our decision not to go is made, and we are looking forward to our December/January visit. It […]
Normandy Will Live Forever in Our Hearts
Bonjour mes amis, I was up early yesterday morning, and watched the ceremony live from the American cemetery in Normandy for the 80th anniversary. I cried. This blog really requires few words, just photos of the many times we’ve been there with friends and family. It is a sacred spot. There are just a few […]
Birthdays in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and we’re both wishing we were in Paris. Last year we celebrated together at the lovely restaurant atop Georges Pompidou museum. It’s a chic spot called Le Georges with an incredible view of the city. Carson, my grandson, ordered a piece of salmon and loved it. Not bad for […]

Fun Times with the Shorys

Bill was the News Director during some of my time as GM at WHNT; his wife, Michelle who just got her Doctorate and their precious daughter Isabella (Izzy) treated us to a wonderful holiday weekend. And […]
A Summer Without Paris?
Bonjour mes amis! So many of you have asked if we are going to Paris for the summer. The answer is unfortunately “no.” We are choosing to avoid the huge crowds and the disruption associated with the Olympics. We believe we’ll have a better seat from our television at home, especially for the opening ceremony. […]
Au Revoir and Thanks for the Memories
Bonjour mes ami, This is always a difficult post, and I work on it for days to find the right words graced with tenderness. It’s time to say good-bye to Paris, to you who have faithfully read the blog, to you who kindly made supportive comments (some almost every day), to our cherished local friends […]
