Wow! Everything is in English again. I can actually turn on the TV and understand what is being said. So . . . This morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then I spent the morning packing, paying bills and getting ready. After lunch, we took a taxi to the train station and processed […]
Ever have one of those days? Yeah, me too. Today was one of them. The morning was overcast and rainy but that’s okay because most of our sight-seeing was indoors. I had a hard time getting up because I was awake until 2:00 AM writing this blog. I’m having way too much fun recording the […]
The name of the game in Paris is, “Embellishments On Top of Embellishments”. This city seems to adhere to the “more is better” philosophy. It actually suits me just fine! The morning was overcast and a little cool. Lucky for me I packed a jacket! We navigated the subway system and our first stop was […]
Bonjour! I am in Paris! Oh. my. goodness. This is going to be a very short update. We left Monaco this morning (Tuesday). We drove to Nice, France and said our goodbyes to Max. He will be prepped for shipping and then make the long journey home to the states. I believe it will take […]
Oh my goodness! I am in Monaco on the French Riviera! Can you believe that? Let me just say that it’s nice to see how the other half lives! When I refer to Monaco as tiny . . . I mean TINY. If you recall, earlier in our travels we stopped in the principality of […]
Am I here? Ya’ll, if I’m dreaming, don’t wake me! All my life I have heard about the world’s most prestigious and publicized Cannes Film Festival and about all the movie stars flocking here to attend. And now, I’m in Cannes! Yesterday (Saturday) we bid farewell to Italy and crossed the border into France. It […]
Before we left the Tuscan region, we just HAD to stop and take pictures of the sunflower fields. (This reminded me of Lompoc, California when they have their annual Flower Festival and there are fields of flowers everywhere.) While we were taking pictures, this cute old man walked up the road and we tried to […]
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His Name. Psalm 100:4 God delights in our worship. He responds to our thanksgiving and expressions of gratitude. It’s so important for us to incorporate the daily habit of worshiping the Father throughout the day. There are choirs […]
I spent the day enjoying the hotel where we are staying and spending some time with the Father. I have a lot to be grateful for. (For more on this, see today’s post under the “Spiritual” tab.) This evening I had a relaxing dinner on the patio, listening to music and watching the sun slip […]
Happy Independence Day! It feels so strange to be away from home during our nation’s birthday celebration! Today at lunch, we met a mother and daughter from Kansas. We lifted our glasses and toasted our great country. May God bless America and keep her safe from harm. Today (Wednesday) we got up early and headed […]
