Nothing Quite Like a Lively Saturday in Paris
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’ […]
Second Day with the Ludwigs Amid Fickle Paris Weather
Bonjour, Running behind today but know everyone wants pictures so here goes. Hate to even say this about yesterday but we ended up late morning with blue skies and temps in the upper 60’s’. Our hearts bleed for you in Alabama, but at least you have A/C! We started at perhaps our favorite small museum, […]
Huntsville Company Arrives in Paris, Tired but Happy!
Bonjour mes amis, One of greatest joys is sharing Paris with good friends. We’ll be doing a lot of that this year! Yesterday amid wonderfully cool temps, we greeted Bob and Cindi Ludwig at Orly airport. Their flight was thirty minutes early but we were there just in time to capture their grand entrance. (Taking […]
Another Gray Day in Paris But Great for Strolling
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 […]
Rain, wind, mist…Paris in Taupe
Bonjour, C’est Mercredi in Paris. (It’s Wednesday) We are one day shy of welcoming Bob and Cindi Ludwig to Paris. Can’t wait to host them and hopefully better weather. Yesterday Paris was a taupe gray as reflected in the image at the top of the blog of the Montparnasse Tower. I find it interesting that […]
Joyful Reunion of Good Friends in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, After a totally rainy day in Paris on Sunday which resulted in no photos and thus no blog, we were back to a delightful weather day yesterday consisting of a few errands and then a reunion! Many of you know Jim and Peggy Bilbro and how hard a battle they fought to […]
C’est Dimanche À Paris…It’s Sunday in Paris
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 […]
Magnificent Morning Light Show at Montmartre
Bonjour, I find myself wondering how we could be blessed with such gorgeous weather, and then I remember all the 100 degree days with no A/C we’ve endured in past summers. Conclusion: we deserve it!! Hope the heat in Alabama has finally tempered some. It is also truly wonderful to be away from the hateful […]
