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.

On to Phase Two




Sunday we finally moved back into our bedroom. The bedrooms and hallway are finished and the new bathroom will be finished as soon as RXC can finish up the tile work. Right now the plumber is installing the sinks and shower panel so he can't get in there. Sunday we put together the Metro racks for the walk in closet, finished the floor tiles off with an acrylic sealer and slowly moved our furniture back. I think I had the best night's sleep that night, that futon/mattress arrangement in the living room was getting old.


The next job was to shift all of the stuff we stored upstairs in order to empty out the bedroom side of the house to someplace else. With some of the bedroom furniture moved, there was room in the dining room for fragile things like the Christmas ornaments. However, at least 20 Rubbermaid tubs of stuff sits out on the terrace. We had to leave my loom upstairs, at least it is still in its shipping box. But at least we had the staircase to make the move this time.
