as I was saying . . .



The terrible heat we've been having here in the valley is almost over.  But there are some up-sides, too.  This . . .


 gave us these.


All in all, not a bad trade-off.  Caprese salads every day for lunch.

Now that the weather has begun to cool I am really getting in the mood for my trip.  By this time in two weeks I will have visited the Marché aux Oiseaux et aux Fleures held every Sunday at the Cité Metro stop right next to Notre Dame.  If you want to buy a beautiful little song bird (or fish, hamsters, rats, turtles, etc.,) or some lovely flowers for your smart Paris apartment, this is the place to shop.






To put me even more in the mood - if such a thing was needed - my lovely friend MAS over at No More Commas Period sent me this to get me started.


Yes, it IS always a good idea!  Merci mille fois!  I will lift a loving toast with my beautiful €20 (coffee, of course!).

Susan-- I hope you and Alex have a fabulous time in Paris & Florence! Please let us know the dates of your departure/homecoming in your next post. Can't wait to get the travel reports!

By the way, I offer this "tip" to your friend, Erin, re her adorable new golden retriever-- if you want a nice, companionable pet, please don't teach this puppy to "fetch." Everyone I've known with these lovely dogs, comes to regret teaching them to fetch, because they will drive the owner, the owner's family and anyone they encounter absolutely nuts! Once they learn this trick, they just don't stop. That's all they want to do, every day, every night, endlessly!!!
