We went many places in France, and spent 4 weeks in the US. We also went to Spain, with Collette, in 2004. <br /><br />When we were in California, we traveled a lot with the dog, going camping and things. We also could afford a dog sitter back then when we traveled to Europe. Those days are gone, but we don't need to travel to Europe any more!wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-67582917442640685312009-10-28T07:25:07.611+01:002009-10-28T07:25:07.611+01:00Judy, Starman's comment struck me as odd too. ...Judy, Starman's comment struck me as odd too. But the Beaver is right, of course.<br /><br />Starman, most of the time one of us stays here with Callie. We did manage to go to the Auvergne together because we could take Callie. But she hates riding in the car. As for going to NY to see Walt's family, or to NC to see mine, it is very expensive for both of us to go. We did it in 2006, however, and both had a really nice time in both places, as well as in Washington DC, Atlanta, Alabama, and Illinois, where we visited and stayed with friends. That was one of our best trips ever.<br /><br />Now you might be curious to know why I haven't been back to California since I moved to France 6½ years ago, after having lived there for 18 years.

A sunny day seems to give one more comfort.<br /><br />I'm glad you had a chance to talk to J L's dad and thanks for the photo of happier days.<br /><br />The headlines of our paper detail the sudden death of a well loved state representative and grocer from here. It was a heart attack and he was 54. Many are in the kind of shock you would understand.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-60793944044933045732009-10-27T13:56:17.707+01:002009-10-27T13:56:17.707+01:00Thanks Nadège and Bill,

He was a guy who was figuring things out one day at a time, like most of us. My bond with him, besides that I just liked him from the time I met him, was our Paris experience. He talked the talk that I learned back then, when I was having my second growing-up in France.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-65975278311690039222009-10-27T12:37:23.113+01:002009-10-27T12:37:23.113+01:00Hi Ken,

My parents don't have any friends their age left and out-living your children is horrible. Jean-Luc was still young and his death so sudden it makes it even harder. I am glad you talked to his father. (You guys looked very cool is the convertible Peugeot).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.com
