Who are these lovely ladies? Aren't they famous?

Robin's Big Girl Beer


We both had one of these beers but didn't realize what size we were ordering. It was 50 cl or 16.9 oz. We felt all puffed up and had a lot of water retention. Or it could have been all the wine we had all week or both!

Dining Room Project


Robin and I decided to do this project this afternoon but didn't get home and started until until 6:30.  What is wrong with us! We finished at 10:30, had dinner and trying to relax a little before bed. 

Joe would be very proud of the measuring I had to do to get the layout. All the projects we've done together has paid off.

This picture does not do the flowers justice.

And Robin is missing this guy


Owen, you didn't eat the whole piece!

Missing these guys too

Caulking before

After caulking

Our time here is coming to an end

The last three days have been sunny and mild. Perfect days for running around shopping for art and essentials. I think we have accomplished what we wanted to get done and more. A lot of things done have been needed but more in the background. The kitchen needed a lot of caulking around and above cabinets. It was time consuming and no one would probably notice but Robin and I feel it made a big difference. I'm going to post a couple pictures just so you can appreciate the difference. (I know you don't care.) Artwork needed to be hung in the perfect place and furniture placed just so.

The apartment is very homey and comfortable and a perfect fit for Robin's family or yours.

We are sad to leave but family awaits us at home. It will also be nice to hear English spoken in the background.  French is a beautiful language, the food and wine is great, and the people have been friendly, but home is calling. (So is Joe!)

Final pictures will be posted before we leave.
