Thanksgiving in France

Since Tim wasn't in the US to have Thanksgiving with his family, we honored him by doing a celebration at my parent's home with their best friends. It was actually my parents and their friend's first Thanksgiving meal. We started with the typical french aperitif with champagne, then we had veggies & dip, deviled eggs. Of course, a (french) turkey with gravy, stuffing (from the US that Tim brought back), sweet potatoes and green beans with onions. Followed by cheese and a homemade cheesecake. It was a succulent dinner, Tim was the turkey chef basting it so it was very moist.

Tim is visiting!

Golf in the fog - Can you see where my ball went?

Tim and I are reunited again! He arrived Saturday at 8am in Charles de Gaulle, arrived earlier than scheduled and beat us to the door! Although a bit jet lagged, he wanted to play golf 9 holes to get ready for the Beaujolais competition the next day. And what a day it was, the next day, we never saw the sky nor the sun that was supposed to shine on us. Because of the constant fog, the men couldn't hit anything higher than a 9 iron and the women nothing higher than a 7 iron. What an interesting round.... On Monday, Tim and I drove to Fontainebleau (40 minutes south of Paris) and visited the famous castle where Napoleon once lived in. Today, I went back to work, so he hung out in the morning and went shopping in the afternoon. Tomorrow and Thursday, he will tour and sightsee Paris while I'll help mend the booth at the Paris Dental Convention center. Stay tuned for other adventures.

Welcome Lea to the world



Proud grandparents

My friend Carole had her baby girl two weeks ago, her name is Lea, she weighs 2.9 kilos (6 lb and 6 oz). She is a cute girl ! Friday was Carole's mom Ghislaine birthday so she and her husband Bernard invited us over today for lunch to celebrate. Carole and Lea were present, as well as Carole's younger sister Sabine (who is expecting a baby boy in February) and her boyfriend Davy, also Ghislaine's mom was there. I just loved holding little Lea, she is so adorable!
