Yes Tuesday is the Big Day but tomorrow is the Little Day...before. Tomorrow we leave for Paris via the choo choo from Issodun north of us to Paris Austerlitz (a large train station). From there we taxi to the ETAP Hotel for the night. I'll make us a picnic lunch for dinner and a couple of bottles of wine to consume. We'll watch TV and sleep the night away to rise in the morning and get to CDG Terminal 1 to our United Flight at 11:10am. Then the long, boring flight across the pond to Chicago's O'Hare Airport to change planes for the trip to Sacramento. We'll eat lunch at O'Hare as the food at O'Hare rivals most other airports in the US at least except for the ones at San Francisco. SF is the winner in the food dept at an airport. Even better than New York. But Chicago is quite good with wonderful pizzas, good local beers, great Hoagies and a range of Chicago-style barbeque that can't be beat.

Our friends Sue and Dave came by to say so long to us, they are wonderful friends to have great fun to talk to and share our lives with. We will miss them dearly. We talked about our kids and the trip back to the states along with the dreamy 2 week stay we spoke of, HA! No chance of that!

The house is being closed down, shutters closed, windows latched and the stiff little wires I installed as a final solution to the flying window opening trick are installed and wired firmly shut. The attic windows are closed and latched, the plastic sheeting we bought last week has been laid on the floor and my tools, some furniture and misc have been covered with drop cloths to keep the dust down.

Tonight I will not be cooking, we're going out to eat at La Piz in St. Amand Montrond, my favorite pizza place. I'll order a nicoise salad and a Neopolitiana pizza. This is NOT Kelly's idea of a fun place to eat, she'd rather go somewhere else but this is close and the food is fine.
