Brrr!

Check out the new link I just added: Le Studio. This is a real-time webcam set up in the courtyard of a Tex-Mex restaurant in the Marais. Today, the 24th of August, everyone is bundled in parkas and hoodies! I think I'd better start throwing my summer clothes out of the suitcase and replacing them with woolies. I wonder if they have "Indian summers" in France.
This webcam updates every two minutes. If you watch some morning about 10:00, you might see Sharon Brune having a kir at one of those tables. :)

Merci mille fois!

The LOOK of my blog is finished, thanks to all the help I received from Krysta - how can I ever thank you? You've opened up a whole new world to me that I never could have predicted a short time ago! :D
Yet to come, with Krysta's help, will be links to such fascinating sites as the Paris Pause-pipi Guide. Yep, it's just what it sounds like - a map that locates every one of those futuristic "Jetson-style" toilets on the street in every arrondissement in Paris! Never again will I be afraid of having a second biere at lunch!

Where in the world...

If you click the pin on the map to the right, you'll see my address in Paris and will be able to get directions to my apartment - drop in anytime. :) The zoom symbols will also appear so you can zoom in and out for different perspectives of where I'm located. The hand will allow you to move the map around to look for familiar places you've visited or to locate places I've referred to in my blog. Clearly, you can see that you're going to be very busy during my stay in Paris. I hope you're not planning any activities of your own because you just won't have time to do anything but play with me.

This has to be a good omen!

Do snails live in Lynden? I don't think so! And yet, here he was this morning on my garden gate, waving his little antennae in greeting: "Bon jour, Sharon," I heard him say in his tiny snail voice. "Je vous attends." (Krysta, that means "Good morning, Sharon. I'm waiting for you." :D

Bon Voyage

Missing You

Third Attempt

I've been going around in circles for a couple of hours trying to get this slideshow set up, so I hope it works this time. And if it does, I hope I remember how to do it again next time. Aargh!
