This morning I planned to write a post about my sister in North Carolina. When I turned on my computer a minute ago, I saw an e-mail from our cousin there telling that my sister fell and broke her arm yesterday. Oh lord. She'll be okay, but will need 8 to 10 weeks to recover. My cousin and sister are the driving forces behind a big food "mission" — in France it would be called a Restaurant du Cœur — that distributes food to people in need in our home town.
What I was going to write about my sister was that when she visited Saint-Aignan in 2007, at the end of her trip we drove up to the Mont Saint-Michel because she really wanted to see it, and then we drove to Paris. As we arrived in the city, I decided to go to see the Eiffel Tower with her. She hadn't yet seen it at night. Just as we got there, the tower's lights changed. It was kind of thrilling, and I took this picture from the car. The next day we went to the top to see the views from up there.
We wish your sister a fast (and painless) recovery, Ken!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you, Jan.
Deletethanks jan
DeleteI hope you sister broke her non dominant arm- that will make everything easier. I'm so glad I saw her restaurant de coeur in NC- a lot of good comes from there. You caught the tower at mid sparkle which is neat. I'm so glad that the powers that be decided to extend the light sparkle beyond the year 2000. It's a beautiful sight and don't we need more light in these times?
ReplyDeleteI don't know which arm is broken. I'm waiting for news.
Deleteso sorry to hear about your sister. My broken arm took much longer than I originally thought to heal (months instead of weeks) and the worst part was not being able to drive. Hope her recovery is speedier.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about not being able to drive. oh lord.
DeleteWishing your sister a speedy and full recovery. Great shot of La tour Eiffel.

Oh, gracious, best wishes for Joanna!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for news. It's such a pain to be so far away.
DeleteBest wishes to your sister. Your picture is stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt is my left arm. I am right handed, It was a bad break and my bones are not good. I will be able to drive soon. I hurt but that will ease off soon, Thanks to all for the well wishes,
ReplyDeleteHey Joanna, I'm so sorry you had this accident. But glad to hear you will be able to drive soon. Maybe you'll be able to help out at the mission. Get a supervisory position! I wish I could come to Morehead this year, but I don't think it's in the cards. Love you, your brother
