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.

That Time Again


As I return to posting after a VERY busy summer I look out the living room and see the deep purple grapes which will hang on the vines for another week or so. But I also hear pickers in the distance harvesting green grapes already. There is a fall feel in the air and after months of no rain there is at least a tiny bit of moisture from time to time.
Our summer covered a sailing trip to Spain, reconstruction of one wall and a partial renovation of our barn, a well attended 4th of July American/Anglo/French picnic, a visit to Pittsburgh, whitewater rafting in Oregon, canal barging in Scotland and whisky tasting afterwards, visits from friends and family, Calypso fracturing her sternum, and an upcoming trip to Italy. I will try to post some highlights of these events over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
