Bonjour mes amis, Thanks for joining us through this very strange and scary journey over the past ten weeks. Bernie and I are doing well but have decided to allow several weeks to pass before we go out and see what happens in Alabama with COVID-19 spread. Our cases go up every day but onward […]
Bonjour mes amis, It occurs to me that I’m not doing nearly as good a job as some of my fellow bloggers who are sharing a new post every day. Shame on me. Some days are harder than others. Here are some daily Paris-related blogs you might enjoy: Eye Prefer Paris from Richard Nahem who is […]
Bonjour mes amis, We received our airline refund yesterday for our Paris trip which was great news and sad news all in one. Hopefully, next year, about this time, we’ll be able to return to Paris. France and Paris in particular have been hard hit so we hope they will be in recovery soon. Riots […]
Bonjour mes amis, Writing this blog is sometimes not as easy as I thought it would be. I promised a positive focus and some days “positive” is a difficult mindset right now. I’ve checked off a variety of activities like finishing the edits on a novel, working jigsaw puzzles (now one that has 2000 pieces!), […]
Dear mes amis, I’m seeking to keep this blog a focal point of positive vibes. It’s hard to stay positive, at least for me. But the best we can all do is the best we can do, mais oui? I had distant family affected by the tornado in Chattanooga—two 90-year-olds who hid in a small bathroom […]
Dear mes amis, This is generally one of my favorite weekends of the year, watching The Masters golf tournament. This afternoon at 12:30 CBS is replaying the famous win for Phil Michelson where he played a near perfect game. I will get my golf fix that way, I suppose. It’s certainly a different set of […]
Bonjour mes amis, I think it’s Thursday but I’ve lost all sense of where we are in any given week. Most of the relative indicators are gone unless of course, you’re working from home. Bernie and I trust that each of you is doing well and staying above water in your thoughts. Some days it’s […]
Bonjour mes amis, Here in Huntsville, it is 80 degrees, beautiful blue skies and a slight warm breeze: what I would call a Montmartre day. Let’s revisit this gorgeous spot and embrace the best that Paris has to offer, at least in my opinion. If you have our book, Bernie’s Paris, I invite you to read […]
Bonjour mes amis, Certainly not to be flippant during these very difficult days, I thought food pics from Paris might be comforting. You can partake without calories or weight gain! The “presentation” is always so magical, and photos of food seem to be almost as popular as Café chairs for our blog readers. There’s an […]
Bonjour mes amis, I had intended for this blog to bring only hope and smiles and beautiful images to all of you. I still hope that, but it’s very hard at the present moment because of the situation with Bernie’s cousins. Writing here gives me a personal outlet for my angst so please forgive me!! […]
