A Day with Friends in Paris
Bonjour, Yesterday was a great weather day, though quite chilly. It was 38 when we headed out for coffee with our friends Richard and Vincent. Gosh, we’ve known Richard for over twenty years now! We always enjoy their company and got some advice about cold medicine to get from the pharmacy. I’m so disappointed that […]
Gorgeous After-Christmas Day
Bonjour, Yesterday was a wonderful weather day with bright sunshine and temps close to 50 degrees with very little wind. Bernie and I are still struggling with what the French refer to as “le rhume” or a very bad cold. It just doesn’t want to let go of us and the lingering cough is a […]
Joyeux Noel and Merry Christmas from Paris to You
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas Day!!! I walked to the church around 6pm to see if there was a baby in the manger scene at the church I love so much. It was so quiet, with candles and beautiful candlelight. It was the best part of my day. Hope you have enjoyed our […]

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 […]
