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.

Zabelle's Garden


Zabelle continues to enjoy the simple things in life. As her 19th birthday approaches, she has slowed down a lot, is quite stiff, and much more mellow. She tolerates Dante and Calypso much better than she did her own children. She is taking the renovation work in stride. She dines most days on poached chicken and milk. I buy a whole chicken a week for her and she never seems to get tired of it. She loves heat from any source, so you can find her in front of the fire on a chilly evening, on top of a big transformer which supplies our house with 110 volt power, or like today on our bright sunny terrace.
