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.

Sketching the Doors and Windows of Ste. Foy




Saturday the town of Ste. Foy invited the locals to come out into the streets and sketch. There were many people who participated in "la journee des portes and fenetres" and artists could be seen scattered in the alleys, streets, and along the river with their sketch pads. At the end of the day, the sketches would be assembled in the town's gallery for a showing and to be judged by a jury. This young artist is sketching the window across the street from her which happend to have a cat sitting in it.
