The Rest of the Paris Story
Dear Friends,
We have been home from Paris for a month almost to the day. If you read my final blog which I posted on July 16, you may remember that I had injured my foot, etc. etc. This was especially challenging because of the 78 steps we had the last month!
FINALLY, I was able to see the doctor today in regard to the MRI I had several weeks ago. There was bad news and some good news. I have a fractured cuboid bone in the right foot below the ankle which will require wearing a boot for the next six weeks. Ugh! The good news is…no surgery and the boot is removable for sleeping, showering, etc. So things could be worse. The hardest part for me is absolutely no golf and no daily two-mile walk!
The latest on our book, Bernie’s Paris, is more good news. We should make our goal of having the book by the end of September or first of October. Watch for more about a book launch and how to get your copy. It’s full of Bernie’s photos in color so we are very excited. That will make it a little more pricey but, we hope, worth it!
Thanks to all of you for following our travels!

Dear Linda and Bernie, I think you two are an inspiration to people who don’t think of themselves as having reached a certain stage in life, therefore …. but who live their lives. Period. I know how much your love Paris and your trips there and how it enriches your souls. By personal analogy, I made a trip to Italy this summer and it changed me so quickly that when i looked in the mirror after about the third day I said to myself, “Oh there’s that girl I used to know! She’s still here!” Now I am making plans to return next summer, not waiting for the opportunity to present it self, but seizing it. I look forward to the book, of course! Mais oui! I hope to be in Huntsville in the fall and I’ll be in touch. Thank you again. And with Bernie’s permission, I’m going to post one of his photo on my FB page. A bientot.

Hi Jeanie, glad your trip to Italy was so wonderful. I’ll be sending you a copy of the book and would love a review! We are back in our regular apartment next year so come on by for a visit after you leave Italy!

Linda, I will do my best to help with the book and would love to see you next year! I have leads on two things — I’ll know more in about a month.

Oh dear😞 I am sorry to hear you have a fractured bone but pleased that you don’t have to have surgery. Please do like you did before and follow your doctor’s orders!

Sorry for the typos in my post. My eyes are getting worse and worse. You know what I intend, though, Linda! 🙂

Welcome home (even though it’s been almost a month). So sorry about your foot and the boot! I’ll call you very soon.

Jane and I are up for a road trip in September to see you. Send some good dates!

Cannot wait to see the book! You two inspire with your enthusiasm and willingness to share. How much I enjoyed your Paris adventures, feeling almost like I was there. Thank you so much, and I hope you heal quickly!!

Bad news tempered by good — ça Marché! You were a real trooper to keep going with a broken bone in your foot! I look forward to the book. We are enjoying Paris as always. Eating out more than last year. Working our way through our list of ‘things to do in Paris this year’! So glad to miss the Huntsville weather! See you in September! A bientôt!

Enjoying your photos as always and yes, see you in September.

If we go sit somewhere together, people will wonder if we’ve been in a wreck!
Seriously, I’m glad it’s no worse.

Well Linda it seems you simply cannot stay well! I’m surprised you have been able to walk without excruciating pain. I saw a lady a few days ago with a “flashy” boot like you will have to wear. Bling bling everywhere. It’s a thought. I’m excited about your book!
