Spring came for the day!

The bees are sipping the sweet
 nectar from your wisteria.
All is Well!

Alec and I walked through the alleyways to
Irène and Gaby's for le petit déjeuner.

Photoit means no publicity!"]








Our friend Lisa Soltis from Roanoke and her
friend Diana R Livingston from Florida arrived
yesterday afternoon and spent the night at
 Chez Gaby and Irène.

Irene has been learning English with
me every Wednesday afternoon and she
did a fabulous job welcoming our friends
in English.

Alec came along with me to eat
chocolate croissants and translate
for Gaby in French;  so proud of this son of ours.

After a lovely breakfast we bid au revoir
to Lisa and Diana and returned to our
place, walking through the alleyway....

Upon arriving home, Piper looked at me 
imploringly,"the rain has stopped Jude."
  So off we went.....

  1. My trip to Lessy, meeting & visiting you, Alec, and the Keiff's, and having that amazing dinner in Metz were highlights of my vacation, Jude. Many thanks for sharing your soup with a starved stranger upon her arrival and for all of your kind hospitality. Best of luck to you on your next life adventure. xxoo Diana

  2. Diana, My journey here to France has taught me, yet again, to be open to new possibilities which always involves welcoming strangers into my life and making connections. I am glad your new connections here in Lessy
    were a highlight!
