Hotter by the Day in Paris
Dear Friends, Weather is always a huge consideration in Paris but never as much as when the temps soar like they have this week. The two jackets I brought, all the scarves and my two new pairs of jean capris will not get much wear right now. The predicted high for today was 100 but […]
“Midnight in Paris” During the Day, etc.
Bonjour mes amis, Today has been a very productive day which started with a trip to the internet cafe. I received an email response from an agent yesterday who wants to see the BERNIE AND ME manuscript!

Finding our Paris Rhythm
Bonsoir, It’s Sunday in Paris and hot as can be under brilliant blue skies. The weather forecast for next week is trecherous with a prediction of 100 degrees on Tuesday. Yikes!

Cousins
For the past eight days, we have enjoyed a visit from Bernie’s French cousins. To have them here in America has been fantastic. Most of our time together has been in France, in and around Alsace where they live near the German border. Or in Paris. If you are a regular reader of my blogs […]
