Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

I love Amaryllis

In November we drove to Holland to meet up with a friend who was visiting her family there. It was our first trip out of France since our move and we had a wonderful time. We planned to buy amaryllis bulbs in the flower market in Amsterdam. In the 1980s we bought 6 bulbs there and for the next 18 years they rewarded us with spectacular flowers and produced many offspring. When we had to leave them behind in the US there were more than 25 flowering plants. This trip we bought another 6 bulbs in different colors. Here is our first bulb that has flowered.
