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.

Our Fall Colors




We have had frost every morning for almost a week now. This is unusual. One neighbor was taken off guard and ended up harvesting frozen grapes because the weather turned cold so early and so quickly. But the results are that we have beautiful colors in the vines and it is still sunny and warm enough by midday to go out and enjoy them. Of course it is hunting season now so one must be aware and dress in day-glow orange or yellow to play it safe.
