Dinner with friends.

Last night, we had dinner with our friends in their neighborhood near Pere Lachaise cemetery. I had an omelette with cepes (wild mushrooms) & potatoes in it. It was buttery delicious. Chuck had coffee and cassis glace for dessert and I had a noisette (small coffee.) The other dishes were duck, duck and duck. Three different versions of duck, which they all enjoyed. (Sorry no visuals as they turned out too blurry. So much for the "food" setting on C's camera or could it be...me?)

Blog Action Day: the beginning


This is a view of the park and fountain "lake" which is within walking distance from our home. There were some ducks on the lake, a stop over for them on their flight to somewhere else, possibly. It was very quiet out, I was walking alone, enjoying the sight. I'm using this image to remind those of us who are lucky enough to have plenty in our lives, to be without want for the basics of shelter and food, that others are not so fortunate. This year, Blog Action Day, 15 October, focuses on poverty. I will be posting on that day in connection with the action...this is the beginning. Check out how you can be a part of this discussion.

It's August already!!!

 The summer is half way over, and glad about it. It's been so hot here and we look forward to cooler days.  I'm writing writing this...
