WEEKENDS IN PARIS.......CAFE'S AND FLOWERS.

Welcome back to Weekends in Paris...
Lucky for you that I'm running out of pictures!
Along with beautiful architecture Paris has beautiful flowers everywhere you look....and ofcourse a Cafe' on every corner.....
How cute is this? We stumbled upon this cafe while wandering the winding streets up in
Montmartre

Flowers for sale on the
Rue Mouffetard

This was called the "Pacino" sunflower....
growing in the Jardin des Plantes
not as colorful as the red gingham tables but quaint none the less...

Parisians will set a table and chair on any sidewalk no matter how small...

I love this guy....if I could have brought him home in my suitcase I would have....

Table for Two.

just plain pretty

It was wonderful being able to step out your door everyday and buy fresh flowers

Another cute guy announcing the specials of the day...

I hope you enjoyed today's offering and with only two more weeks to go.....
Okay....keep the cheering to a minimum....
Next week we go on a scenic Road Trip to someplace very special.....
Followed by the final week of our luxurious accommodations...
See you then....Have a wonderful weekend!!

Wonderful pictures. I have finally finished editing the more than 700 pictures that I took on our trip. The next challenge will be to decide which ones to put into my digital scrapbook.

I love the weekends in Paris! I haven't been to France since 1979 -- oh dear, that's a long time!

Looking forward to pics of your NJ trip!

(And there's a good reason that husbands and pets are often grouped together as sofa-warmers! I know if I need to find any of them, where they'll probably be.)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Great photos and I pray that I get to Paris one day in the future so that I can experience all these cute little places to eat. I can't wait to see where we will be going with you on next weeks Friday tour.

I've got a great idea. Why don't you get together a tour of France or just Paris and invite your blog friends. You could even charge to be the guide! It would be so much fun. You know all the cool places. As for the cake, it was best eaten a little warm. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of it. It looked like cake baked in an oven but was a little moister. I'm gonna try to do a lemon cake next time. Mimi

L'art de vivre à la française... Nous adorons ça, flâner en ville, boire un café aux terrasses des bistrots, manger un bout dans un petit restaurant au soleil et regarder les gens passer devant nous, le visage au soleil.
I love this images !

I SEE DEAD PEOPLE.........a Blog Pause.

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
