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.

looks like y'all got a lot done. The place looks beautiful. Wish I could hop in the car and drive over.

René (finally got the spelling right!) and Robin,

What a great job and enormous expenditure of energy in a short time! It's good that you had fun along the way. I'm sure I would appreciate the caulking, but I can't seem to make the photos any larger. Great idea to use painter's tape to mask off the caulk area. Also love the diamonds!!! I could never have figured out the math... Pamela
