A tourist boat, with it's lights shining on the buildings, stopped for a few moments in front of us. A juggler/clown entertained the crowd on the Pont St. Louis. Our favorite stand in the market on Place Baudoyer, where we get our cheese spreads, olives and round sesame bread.
I have lots of images to post from yesterday's visit to the brocante, our thanksgiving dinner, and today's walk to the Jardin des Plantes, however, i'm only going to show you this scary thing that was laying on the ground in a courtyard open to the public. It ties in nicely with the current photos on Skull-a-day, images from Turkey that say the same thing, "danger of death."
In addition to making tiny collages for the Art-O-Mat, 
as seen from out window. Yesterday, we walked past it, on our way back from the Cartier Foundation , where we saw an exhibit by two artists. As we went by that area, it was time for students to emerge from universities and colleges (our high school equiv.) I loved hearing and seeing these young people, so lively, talkative, giving each other bises (those little cheek kisses that are audible) and yet looking like American kids.
behind Notre Dame, Chuck dug his freezing hands out of his pockets to snap this lovely photo of the full moon. It was worth it!
the Swedish Cultural Centre, where one can get seconds on coffee (the only place in Paris that probably does this.) We toured the exhibit of photos on the color red. Perfect for me, eh? with my color classes. It was about a specific red from a specific mineral mined in Sweden, which is used to paint buildings.
Hilarious. It put us in a thanksgiving mood. Other Americans were taking pictures of it, too.
for dinner. I made some potatoes and salad, we poured some wine, toasted our good fortune to have a wonderful family and wonderful friends, and ate our meal while looking out over the Seine River in Paris. Grateful.
The Mairie de la Ville de Paris holds an exhibit each year of art work done by employees. As part of the show, florists who are responsible for the Gardens, green spaces, public building plantings, get to show off their creativity. This is the second year that we've been able to see this. Chuck took these great photos for me. Some of the arrangements were very odd, even somewhat unattractive, like that square one in the distance, but most were very lovely. They were displayed in two white tents right in front of the Hotel de Ville (City Hall.) 
An ice skating rink is being set up in the plaza and hoping it'll be finished before we leave, so we can show it to you.
When we left the studio yesterday, for our walk, I looked back into the room, and this is what I saw. I just love having those big windows looking out at our little part of Paris.
No explanations as to my hiatus. It's boring. But I'm back. And here's what I've been making. Lots and lots of these. They...
