    Once again beautiful photos and words to draw us in your adventures. I may be a little obsessed with doors as well. I can visualize your apartment from your description hoping that large window has the perfect view. Waiting to hear and see tomorrow’s adventures.

    These photos make me homesick for Paris! So much to see and do! Glad your boot isn’t slowing you down, but be careful!

    “Joie de vivre” is such a good theme! After 3 years of changed life-styles due to covid, etc, it is great to remember this, and also how the French celebrate this in such small and important ways! (Though I love the chairs too!!)

    Bonjour L & B! This year’s first photo of you says it all even with your boot! I remember last year’s first photo and it ended up describing the entire trip. So happy to hear, and see, things are much better.

    Love the blog and ALL pics! Thanks for being our connection to Paris each summer! Love , love the flowers, the doors, the Pink bistro chairs, and of course the perfect joie de vivre theme this year. Please take care with your foot – maybe let Paris come to you and Bertie a little more while you are healing. So happy to hear the weather is cooperating so far. HSV is getting a little warmer this week with 60s in am and mid 70s – and then we will zoom up to possible high 70s – maybe 80’s before Memorial Day weekend. It is this crazy extended pollen season that is really the issue for most of us. Profitez bien de la journée

    8000 steps in a boot. I’m impressed! I don’t guess I have ever seen baby asparagus. You can continue to make me feel as if I’m there- so enticing.

    Enjoying traveling along through your blog once again! Spied the High top tennis shoes—are they fashionable among the youngsters there, too?

      Yes, though any type of tennis shoe is “in.”

    Enjoying your blog. Miss the lilacs- they are my favorites but have not been able to grow them in Huntsville. Enjoy and take care with your foot.

    Linda, you are rockin’ that boot! Darren and I are in Ireland for a week, and Scotland the following week with family. I do so enjoy your Paris blog. Looks like y’all are having a wonderful time. Brings back so many fond memories of our time in Paris with you both!

    So glad you are back “home” and settling in so well. Sounds like a lovely apartment. I hope your foot has a speedy recovery although you are obviously not letting it stop you. I am in Sri Lanka today after whirlwind 6-day tour in India. While hazy skies deprived us of the full sunset/sunrise experience at the Taj Mahal, it was still incredible and I am glad I made the trip. Where else can one share the road with thousands of motorbikes, cows of course, but also elephants, camels, and the occasional family of monkeys! My best to Bernie—enjoy Paris.
