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.

Old as Methuselah


Hatheg-Kla Isabella Catalina aka Zabelle is our wonderful Maine Coon cat who is now 18 1/2 years old. This qualifies her as a Methuselah kitty, one who has lived longer than 15 years. Here she is pictured on our patio a couple of days ago on the first really warm day in February.
The website below details her pedigree and exciting life from birth in a cat house in Amsterdam to a Paris apartment to Washington, DC. More recently she moved onto a boat for a year of sailing dangerously to the Bahamas. She is now in retirement in France where she sorts out Dante and Calypso when the need arise.
