I'm hungry Nancy...Thanks for all your wonderful writing about your adventures and enjoyment in France. I have really enjoyed reading everything. I heard from Lynne that you will be home soon. I wish you all the best. Leah and Ray
Ahhhh........ Wonderful pictures, Nancy! Too bad the olive experiment didn't work - but it did give us some terrific laughs! Thank you, thank you, thank you once more for your incomparable hospitality. I only wish I had been there for the apricots & peaches!

What a vacation! Before this blog I read one about train stations in India and riding the train. France is quite a contrast. Sounds like you and your daughter are having a wonderful time. I am reading the book How I Plan Your Wedding. Darlene is getting married at Wickaninish on August 13 with a reception on September 11th at the Terminal City Club. I don't have to do much except get myself dressed, that will be enough. Two functions for the out of town family on Saturday. Talk to you soon.
The Cevennes Nancy, I totally fell in love with the Cevennes, madly and crazily in love with it! You must visit!! Something about the mountains with deep long valleys that you traverse along narrow twisty roads with surprises and ancient tiny villages around every corner. The trellised farming up the sides of the valleys is wild! Wish I was going there with you!! :o)
big hug Dawn
Great blog Hi Nancy,
I loved reading your words and hearing how grateful you are for being able to spend all of this time in France. These memories will last you a long time. Best wishes. Leah ( Lynne's sister-in-law from Nanaimo.)
Loving your stories! Hi Nancy,
I'm loving your travels and many adventures... even if it's coffee and reflections on the day ahead.
All the best,
Rochelle
Ah...Gigi... I have fond memories of both Gigi & Oscar...and not-so-fond memories of both the washing machine and the dryer; I find it apt you have not named them, Nancy. As for the incredible vacuum machine that literally sticks itself to the marble floor, apparently never wanting to leave...how about General Patton?? xoxo Lynne
Still green with envy Hi Nancy,
I know, I know, I had my chance. You sound so very happy and your situation sounds utopian ... but the white wine situation needs some attention :-) Canadian news does seem somewhat quaint from afar, I agree. I hope you don't decide to forget about Canada altogether and stay on and on and on ... I miss you.
Missing Languedoc...and you! Hi there my friend - I can see you now...on the deck in the sun, sketching your hand without looking. I only wish I was there with you still! Much love - Lynne
Green with envy! Hi Nancy,
Your new home looks wonderful and the warm weather sounds ... well, so warm. It's sunny here today but far from warm.
I sent an email to you and Tiana saying I won't be coming to join you in Europe ... so sad. The SE Asia trip satisfied my wanderlust and has left me somewhat fatigued, my dear.
Keep on blogging and I'll keep on reading.

I'm older than you... HI Nancy
what a great idea - a sabbatical 1/2 way along... I do remember you telling me you were planning this. I look forward to your blogs

philosophical musings Nance - I enjoyed your philosophical musings - you have such on open mind about this experience - it cannot be anything but a surprise! Cheers, Peg
The gift of the gab Oh Nancy, you have such a gift for writing! Your words come out so beautifully, it makes me want to read more and more and more. Please continue sharing your whimsical thoughts, stories of your adventures, what you ate for lunch....it's all interesting to me! And have fun....lots and lots of FUN.
on to Peru Hi Nancy,
What a lovely photo of you and Tiana!
So you're off on more adventures--just shows how out of touch we have been this summer--I had no idea. I was thinking of calling you up to encourage you to use your boat booking with us before we sell the vessel.
Looking forward to sharing your adventures!
love, Cathy
wahooooo! How exciting! I'm really hoping you find internet if your postings on this trip are as much fun and as interesting as your Indian postings were, can't wait, I love living vicariously through you. :o)
Final blog from Vietnam We look forward to your safe return home, Nancy! I, too, cannot believe 10 years have passed so quickly. But I don't believe you have "trudged" through the years...I believe you have lightly danced through them - in style! See you soon --- Lynne
