10 Days

Yes, we've but 10 days left in our 10th summer in France.  It's been a good one though lest the damaged driver's side eye on the trusty Toyota.  Got the cloth wall back up in the hallway and finished the Parlor cloth wall install and it looks great!  Then the trip to Ireland was wonderful and interesting to all three of us.  Then after we returned we had a couple of nice dinners with our friends Dave and Sue.  We then started going on day trips out to some area we had little knowledge of outside of guide books and maps and exploring them for chateaus and ancient churches.  It has been eye opening and instructive to us both...and Furry of course.

Last night we ventured forth to Le Trois Perdrix for dinner and music with our friends Dave and Sue and about 80 others!  Quite a crowd for a small restaurant.  A prix fixe menue of curry UK style and it was very, very good indeed.  The band "Mercury Blues" was energetic and made the audience quite happy with their performance.  Not much blues but good guitar work all around.  Made for a happy night in Lignieres!

We've started to make piles of items bound out to California, hard cheeses, the BEST canned tuna in the planet, a few clothing items and some cloth creations Kelly wants there and chocolate to die for.

Well venture by train to Paris and take up occupation at the ETAP in the 19th Arr.  It's a great spot for gawking at people night and day, lovely corner cafe for dinner and a fine boulangerie across the street for breakfast and coffee.  No other plans afoot.

Home, rest from the 22hrs then examine the new garden areas done by our friend Marsha and daughter-dearest Audrey while we have been here...from the worst yard in Old Town to the BEST! Pretty cool!
