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.

The New Door Arrives




The new front door and window showed up today-a week early! We open the sliding glass doors everyday by 8 AM but on some days we have no expectation of workers arriving. Today was just one of those days. We were just discussing going up to town for breakfast when I saw someone in the old kitchen and received a cheery bonjour. Two workmen came in with the new wood window and door. The window went in easily, but they are having to fiddle a bit with the door. Zabelle who misses nothing was the first to go and check out the new entrance. She stood there for awhile hoping for a demonstration but as it was not functional yet she sat down to wait for the workers to come back from lunch and let her in.
