Yes, Virginia, You Can Have a Bad Day in Paris
Bonjour, Even though it’s beautiful Paris, you can have a bad day here and such was our fate yesterday. But before I walk you through the saga, let me say once again how very thoughtful all of your comments are in regard to Bernie’s health. I read and approve every single one so they will […]
Update on Bernie
Dear Friends near and far, Your comments, texts and even phone calls yesterday were such a support to us. It was a long grueling day spent mostly at the Urgence or emergency room at the American Hospital of Paris. It’s way the heck on the other side of Paris so the round trip cab fare […]
Glorious Windows at Notre Dame
Bonjour mes amis, Bernie was still very under the weather yesterday. Despite my insistence on a few simple things like a hat, he persists that he’s doing okay. So, I left out on my own yesterday to see what the situation was over at Notre Dame. The web site always says that the tickets are […]
A Slow, Easy Paris Day

I scanned back through all the photos I’ve taken and found some which […]
Final Day with Family

A Cold Day at Montmartre Among Other Strange Happenings
Bon Dimanche, Happy Sunday to everyone. It’s quite cold here in the upper 30’s and low 40’s always with a slight mist in the air. Yesterday’s outing was to Montmartre, my favorite place in Paris. However, I must admit that I much prefer summertime there. What happened along the way is the real story. It’s […]
Ah, Notre Dame. Magnifique!!
Bonjour, Yes, yes, yes! We did get into magnificent Notre Dame last night about 8:30 after the Mass. It was a mad rush of people with a long line. BUT it moved fast. We were thrilled but of course the beautiful stained glass windows which have all been cleaned were not visible because of the […]
The Aura of Friday the 13th…Full of Surprises!
Bonjour, The last two days have been full of surprising aggravations so today, Friday, the 13th is pretty appropriate. Allow me to explain. Yesterday, we had reservations at Jules Verne in the Tour Eiffel at 12 noon. This was a generous and very expensive extravaganza from Bernie to James, Andrew and me. He never said […]
