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.

We have all Gotten Far Too Comfortable with Chaos







Six weeks into camping a la salle de sejour, we have lost all discipline with the cats. The workers found it impossible to understand that they are indoor cats. Does not exist in France. Besides Dante is so outgoing and friendly he can charm anyone into anything. And we have no doors inside the house (they are being worked on) to keep closed and thereby keep cats away from workers and the outside. And the noise has been deafening at times, terrorizing Calypso. So for the past month, they have been outside all day long. At the end of the day, Calypso takes her place high up on a box spring in the living room, legs akimbo, Belle is blatant in her pushiness for people food, even dessert, and Dante is just king.
