When you travel to France you look forward to the food. So last night did not disappoint. We went out to dinner, reservations were at 8 pm. It was festive and fancy, but welcoming and not stuffy. The menu was all in french and unlike the crepe menus I could not figure it out with […]
Did you know the color Chartreuse comes from a liqueur made by monks in France? Me neither, but I do now. I have often found describing colors difficult. Jeff and I particularly have trouble with Khaki (is it tan, green, brown or grey). Our ideas are very different. Now I know why there are […]
We started a bit later today, Wednesday, 28 December 2011. Cold chance of rain. To prepare for tomorrow and make Jeff comfortable with our departure, we did a practice run, from the flat to Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon. We got our tickets and then with a sigh of relief headed out to […]

She had one baby girl in 1533, followed by three miscarriages, by 1536 King Henry was courting another. Anne was charged for high treason, and later witchcraft, four days after her trial at […]
Hi, I need to say sorry to my councilor, Ayla yesterday I was supposed to meet with her on Skype, but even though mom told me to email her so we didn’t waste her time, I did write her a email, but forgot to send it! So, I’m sorry Ayla.
I have to talk quickly because we are picking them up at 10, but I wanted you to know that our long time friends the Lauridsen’s are here to visit they’re leaving on the 22 so we don’t have much time! They got here yesterday but had just got off a 10 hour flight. Bye!
