So our gentleman seller came thru with an address, a time and a date all thanks to L's great French! All Hail to L!! She sat right there at the dining room table and called the nice buyer and sorted out all the not-so-trivial details, sooooo cool! She just rattled out the Francaise syllable after syllable fawlessly. Amazing! So now we are off to a small village in Provence to fetch our Portail du fer (Iron Gate). We will take our car, the trusty Avensis with it's A/C on full as Provence this time of year can be HOT. It's a mini-California weather type trapped between the Massif Central and the Sea. L charged us with getting her a bottle of Lavender Syrup, thick and delicious she says on top of ice cream. So we will get that done as well. Oh...when do we do this little trek? Next week sometime. Now we use Google Earth to search for hotels and restaurants in response to Kelly's internet hunt upcoming. I hope we do as well as we did in Lyon last month.

Today my job was to nail up the wood strips to hang the cloth by and rip more strips and put the fuzzy stuff on the walls between them so that the walls are padded. We NEED padded walls as nuts as we are. Kelly hung the cloth wainscotting along the interior wall after I finished the strips.

Tonight I'm cooking lamb cutlets, bone in. I actually will BBQ them quickly as we both like them rare. Rub them with morocan dry spice mix and them pound them gently with thyme. Onto the fire for 2 minutes each side and call them done. Garlic mashed potatoes and a salad outside in the courtyard...oh how cool. All easy, simple and delicious.
