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 […]
Bonjour, How funny it seems to be living a Saturday in the fall without SEC football. I’m just noticing that the Alabama game begins at 9:30pm Paris time! Yikes. So Roll Tide and War Eagle to all the fans reading my blog. I actually pull for both sides until they play each other, and you […]
Bonjour, Every day begins with much the same wonderful question: “What shall we do today?” Usually I am the one who steers our activities but today Bernie suggested that we spend a day on the Left Bank visiting a new restaurant recommended by Jim & Peggy Bilbro, followed by a stroll around the area to […]
Bonsoir mes amis, Charles and Judy Gattis left Paris this morning to catch their plane at Orly. We put them in the cab with many hugs and well wishes after eight glorious days exploring together. The rest of our day was taken up with cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping. We needed a catch-up day and […]

Bonsoir, Today has been a summer day in Paris with temps in the 80’s. Mix this with a fall wardrobe and we were pretty uncomfortable. I started in one outfit, a light, cotton sweater and scarf, and ended the day much lighter. Poor Judy has fewer choices with her travel attire and has just had […]
Bonsoir mes amis, Paris weather is absolutely beautiful, and according to the locals, making up for their August which was untypically cool and rainy! How lucky we are to benefit from this quirk of events. The leaves are starting to change, the days are shorter, and the chestnuts are EVERYWHERE, big lovely chestnuts. If you’re […]
Bonjour! Today is gorgeous with sunshine so bright that picture-taking was challenging. What a lovely problem to have, mais oui? We are surviving in our little hotel as best we can though really looking forward to moving into our usual apartment on Sunday morning! In case you are just reading your first blog post, there […]
Dear Friends, FINALLY, today is our departure day, and I’m overwhelmed with so many feelings. I miss my friend Sharon Tyson who has for so many years taken us to the airport. It was part of our tradition, but she is now in Tucson. BUT my wonderful friend and golfing buddy Barbara Buice has stepped […]
