About the photo I have chosen, it’s an old one of Romain & Manon that I had put in a file for days like this, days in which I’m not sure what I’ll write. I decided to use it because it gives me an excuse, as if I need one, to write about the Boudeaus. They’re up in Canada right now, having left our house early Monday for a few days up north. They’re due back tomorrow night and we’ll be with us until next Wednesday.

That means more French summer!

That’s been one of the many great things about having the Boudeaus here. It’s like our July trip to France got extended to August and our home in Seattle.

You hear that, Christine & Bernard?? Nudge, nudge.
