Murphy’s Law Bites Our Trip to Normandy
Bonjour mes amis, Alors…as the French would say…so, our eighth Normandy trip was anything but typical! I’m a big believer in signs and omens. This may not be the post you were expecting, but it was our day from start to finish. I’m guessing it will make you chuckle. We had mapped out the perfect […]
Spending Time in Bernie’s Neighborhood
Bonjour, Just a quick blog today as we’re ready to depart to Normandy. First the train, then a rental car with Natalie as our chauffeur. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Ours will be special and the weather looks very good—windy and a bit cool but better than stifling hot. Yesterday, the two “young people” slept […]
A Holiday Saturday at Montmartre
Bonjour, What better day could one have than to share a place you love with people you love! Yesterday was part of a holiday weekend in Paris. Pentecost Sunday is today in celebration of Christ’s ascension. And on Monday (our Memorial Day), we will be honored to celebrate by spending a day on the Normandy […]
Bienvenue à Paris, Natalie and Carson!
Bonjour, Thanks to so many of you for the kind support in regard to this damnable case of vertigo I have managed to get. About ten years ago, I had this for one solid year and truly thought I was going to lose my mind. I tried every remedy I could find but nothing helped […]
Bustling, Busy Champs Elysées
Bonjour, Glorious weather graced our day with hardly a cloud in the sky and 70 degrees as the high. I’d call that about perfect unless you have vertigo and then, darn, it’s not as much fun. Bless Bernie for always holding my hand and telling me that everything will get better. Maybe home is where […]
Reconnaissance Is Always a Good Idea
Bonjour mes amis, Our day was built around some preparation for my daughter’s visit. We thought it a good idea to get laundry out of the way for a while which meant a trip to the Laverie to dry our clothes and another lunch at Le Temps des Cerises across the street. Our plat du […]
Slow, Easy Paris Tuesday
Bonjour, You may have noticed that I didn’t blog yesterday… quite under the weather with horrible vertigo and nausea when I got up. It slowly went away throughout the day, and we were able to walk around a bit in an area around the BHV (the large department store in the Marais) referred to as […]
A Sunday Filled with Surprises
Bonjour, The weather gods continue to shine down upon us! And I might say that it’s well deserved! Our day was beautiful, nicely cool and sunny. We thought it would be a calm, easy catch-up day, but there were surprises afoot. The visiting couple (Valerie and Derrick from Nashville) with their 4-year old called about […]
