Bonjour mes amis, Someone forgot to tell us that we aren’t ten years younger! We spent the day zipping around to see Christmas decorations and ended with a lovely dinner at the Bonnie restaurant atop the SO hotel. It was dark, cold and rainy so no chance for many pics. It was also quite loud […]
Bonjour mes amis, Today in Alabama is absolutely lovely with a touch of fall in the early morning air as well as that distinctive “ciel bleu” blue sky that only fall of the year creates. This is Part Two of my series on the best exhibits we’ve attended in Paris. This one was special not […]
Bon Week-end to all! Yesterday was a blissfully wonderful weather day. Here’s a chuckle to start the blog. I had to slip into a “toilette” and disrobe a bit ending up with a sweater turtleneck tied around my waste, my jacket on my arm, and my scarf flapping in the breeze. I know the weather […]
Bonjour mes amis, The big question for us now is “Will we get stuck here in Paris because of the strikes?” The answer is, “We simply don’t know!” There could be worse places to get waylaid, but we’re ready to go home for Christmas. Tomorrow, December 5, is a previously announced major transportation strike in […]
Bonjour mes amis, Yesterday was the third sunny day in a row and that’s big news…even got to wear my sunglasses that Paula Steigerwald so kindly brought over. The weather and a new restaurant proved to be the highlights of our day. The Christmas lights, just a few. Today was also Beaujolais Thursday in France, […]
Bonjour mes amis, In the summer, we complain about the 100 degree temps in Paris; in the fall, now we’re complaining about the rain. So, shame on us. I think we (I) need an attitude adjustment and just learn to love each day as it comes, n’est ce pas? HOWEVER, it’s a whole lot easier […]
Bonjour, Our weekend was made for strolling because the weather has been terrific. We are hoping it will continue for at least another week or two until my son and his family complete their visit. Paris is a different city when it rains…not all bad but not at its total best. Just like at home, […]
Bonsoir, Our weekend has been easy and fun, slightly cooler with more rain! Ugh! However, we are excited to greet Bernie’s son James and his partner, Stephen, tomorrow for a two-week visit. They will be staying in an apartment very close to us, about a 3-minute walk. We are glad the river has found its […]
Bonjour, It’s the morning after again and I’m just writing yesterday’s blog. We came in so tired last night and then slept in! What a wonderful life. We’re counting down the days as there are only six more to go! Our trip is a little shorter this year, seven weeks instead of eight, and that […]
