Busy day here today........ Assembling an Ikea table for my home studio stuff and haircuts for the twins followed by shopping as it's a holiday weekend here (Easter Monday is a holiday here) and we had to have groceries to get to Tuesday.
The grocery run was made by all hands and in a softly falling rain. In some places folks get ornery if it's raining but heck, we're in Paris..... Let it rain.....* We also took glass bottles to the recycle place on the way to the Inno (Kick Ass Grocery Store in our neighborhood) that was PACKED but not too bad. We got everything we needed for Easter Sunday Dinner and then some. After the Inno it was off to the boulangerie for baguettes and other goodies........ And.....on our way back we stopped at an outdoor flower shop on the Passy outdoor mall and Cassie got 3 bunches of flowers for 15 Euros. Good deal!
The apartment looks more and more like it's ours every day and almost everything is put away save for clothes we plan to give away but that will take a little time to sort out. Life here is really agreeing with all of us. Kian and Niall start college online Monday with Strayer University which is actually located in Virginia but is global in it's reach with an online core competency.
Cassie is snoozing on the sofa and we've had snacks of stinky French cheeses and some Sancere wine.
the sun is out and all is well with the world here. We certainly miss all of you back home but have settled in and are starting to head towards going native. Jan Gabarek is playing on the stereo and we plan to have some pasta tonight for supper and watch one of the movies Tray Eppes sent this last week that were so welcome.
Remember, the Inn is open......*
A bientot........
