It's 6:00 p.m. on March 4 and I've been back at home for close to an hour! The sun came out for my arrival, things are greening up, and the rivers (Loire and Cher) are blue and sparkling. We drove through Vouvray, Amboise, Montrichard, and Mareuil on the way back from the TGV station in Tours.
It's B-day -1. Officially, mind you, I don't turn 60 until 9:15 p.m. tomorrow night. So I still have a good 24 hours of the fabulous 50s left in me.
Hey... you must be glad to have the traveling over with. Have a great day tomorrow!

Party on, Ken!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ken,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those 24 hours... and sorry if my early wishes made you a year older than you really are :)). Martine
Bon retour Ken,
ReplyDeleteand a good rest for tomorrow.
Glad to hear you made it back in one piece. It's such a relief to sleep in one's own bed again, isn't it. Enjoy what's left of your 50's!
ReplyDeleteThanks, y'all. We are watching the old videos that I transferred to DVD over the past two weeks. And having a glass of Vouvray -- but not sparkling. It's the demi-sec stuff from 2006.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will soon collapse. When I wake up, my birthday will be nigher than it is nigh now.
Glad you are safely home and enjoying your new dvds with the Vouvray.
ReplyDeleteSooooo glad you're back. Bet you can breathe a lot easier now. Wow turning 60, back in France, and allergy free. Life is grand!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! and welcome home.

Happy birthday Ken. Blanquette de veau and pear amandine? That sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteHappy 60th birthday, Ken. Long may you continue living the life in Saint-Aignan.
ReplyDeleteWarmest wishes for a happy 60th, Ken!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ken. You still have a few hours, but I did not want to wait until the last minute.
ReplyDeleteAs Carolyn so perfectly wrote,"Long may you continue living the life in Saint Aignan." :)) Hope it's been a wonderful birthday for you!

Damn - I missed it!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday anyway. We will raise a glass to you.
I won't call you all out individually, but I really do appreciate the birthday thoughts. There's something satisfying about having a nice round number like 60 as my age. It's all in the mind...
