This is a photo I took at Mennetou-sur-Cher, a village about 40 minutes by car from Saint-Aignan,
during Christmas week in 2004. Friends were visiting from California. I've always liked the picture.

P.S. Here's something I haven't mentioned in a while: It's soon going to be time for me to go back to see my doctor. It will be a routine visit. I haven't felt the need to go see him for a couple of months now. My arthritis pains are greatly diminished these days. Who knows why? I haven't taken any pain killers like Ibuprofen or Tylenol in a long time. I haven't had any more swelling caused by inflammation of my wrist joints. I still don't know what caused the whole episode I experienced back in September, which sent me running to see my primary care physician and then have blood work done and X-rays taken. Thank goodness all that's over, at least for now.
That is a great picture - very painterly or artistic looking. So glad your symptoms have resolved, or at least improved, and just in time for Père Noël to visit.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that malady is gone. Our bodies are healing machines most of the time.
ReplyDeleteHappy you are feeling better....Hope y'all have a wonderful Xmas....will be near record warmth here in western NC
ReplyDeleteGreat news, Ken! And, what a treat that photo is!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, glad your aches and pains have departed.....
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly, I think the treatment you have given this photo is rather lovely... it has the air of a 1920s postcard....
There's nothing in the picture to say it was taken in the 21st Century [except TV and radio aerials admittedly - but they aren't too visible] and even the font and placing of the text matches the cards on sale at vide-greniers... I'll bet you had fun doing that!
And wishing you and Walt a wonderful end of year!
