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.

Signs of Progress-Front of House







We have had anywhere between 1 and 5 men working on the house this week. The mason has completed his work until the new front door and window is made. These have to be custom built because nothing in the house is of a size available in the marketplace today. Five weeks are needed to build the door, window, and staircase. Once the door and window are installed, the stones will be worked on, shutters added, and the rest of the porch will be built.
