  19. If only. Nursing a sick husband, who's convinced that he has swine flu, doing the ironing, cleaning the house and preparing to go on holiday. Can we swap?

  21. PB and La Belle - I snapped this shot of the windows of the Samaritaine department store in Paris a couple of months back. It is closed for renovations and all the windows were painted with these cute scenes - I don't know the artist but the work was fabulous. Sadly this was the only decent photograph as it was a rainy afternoon and the light wasn't great. xv

  38. Vicki,

    Thank you tons for your sweet note, it was a great gift to return from the states to have it awaiting me! merci!My cousin just bought a small New England ,town bookstore - and I agree with the images you conjured up ---about the traditions of meandering in the book stalls dreaming of the stories within these binders. Have a super weekend- in Tuscany,my sweet sister lives there since some 25years.
    Enjoy!Salut du Midi!
