Hi Fifi! Thanks for your sweet note! It's good to hear from you and reconnect. It's been a crazy busy summer with weddings and a big move to our future dream house. It's a huge heap of work right now since no one has done anything in 80 years, but in about 5 we hope it will be amazing. For now, it's amazing how bad it is! :) Love your Paris vacation...thanks for a little getaway! xoxo Alexa

Dear Fifi,
Your photos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them, as I have never seen Normandy from your perspective.

You painting of the Old Mill, looks fab.

It's interesting that you came by today, because the past two days you've been on my mind!

Oh, I've been in all those very places in spring 1997! Missed the last bus going from Mt. St Michelle back to town and had to walk the whole way, starving to death, on a Sunday when nothing is open, while the cows stared at us quizzically as we hiked back to the ville.

Bill said...

Hi Fifi,
Beautiful post as always! You should be appointed France's goodwill ambassador to the WORLD!
