MOTHER'S DAY








LA FETE DES MERES

Great brunch (scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and perfect Hash Browns)
The Keith Haring show at the Musée d'Art Moderne (a lot of male...content) 
The most adorable Hydrangea flower (it almost did not survive the day out of water) 
Relatively clement weather (no rain today, to celebrate)

All in all a great day!

I just wish I had had all of my children with me. 
Not an easy wish these days.


au revoir.



LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE








LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE



Which part of those three words do they not understand?


au revoir.

WHY I LOVE PARIS IN THE SPRING





J'AIME PARIS AU PRINTEMPS

It was late afternoon. The Spring weather was perfection. A soft, warm light flooded the saturated green shade of young leaves on large full trees.  A stroll down the Canal St. Martin was in order. 
We were in for a wonderful surprise: the waterway was like a mirror, reflecting every tree, every building, every hue of the brightly colored shops. 

Double the beauty, double the pleasure. 
Priceless. 

If only we had thought of a picnic. 
All along the edge of the canal, picnickers were chatting as they enjoyed drinks and snacks -I did notice some bags of chips and some beers- but this being Paris, I also spied paté, baguettes, Camembert, all kinds of other French goodies and what seemed to be nice bottles of bordeaux...

Next time we need to be more organized...quiche,, a great bottle of wine, a chocolate mousse... a normal Paris picnic (hold the chips!) in a delightfully relaxing place.

au revoir.
