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.

Ready to Move In







The team that sanded the floors upstairs and then polyurethaned them worked on Saturday and Sunday. Shocking to our French neighbors. But the loft is finished and ready to move things into as soon as we are sure the coatings are fully dried. They applied 3 coats to give the floors a lovely sheen and lots of protection. They recommended that we wait 2 days before taking furniture upstairs. That means tomorrow we can begin to bring bookcases and my quilt table up. Yesterday we filled the new bookcases in the hallway and were pleasently surprised to find we had enough room to hold all the books we could locate. I am sure there are more books in the dining room or living room among the many boxes that are piled up everywhere.
