As the Year Slips By

I am sitting with a cup of coffee this morning enjoying a moment with my (working) computer.   Mom is coming to stay for a week while she gets her cataracts removed, so I have cleaned the room and I am now sitting down to enjoy it a moment before I move to the next project.

I can hardly believe that I have been back from our trip for almost six weeks, and I have not finished putting together even a short group of pictures on e-mail.   Since there were 4 cameras with about 700-800 pictures each, there are many, many photos to review.

Fred and Lark - September in Paris 2013 ( Notre Dame Park)

I laugh at this picture.    We were reading everything about travel in Paris and were told not to wear white tennis shoes, backpacks or ball caps, for they are a dead give away as an American traveler.  We did leave the tennis shoes at home, but we were always amazed that everyone who came near us didn't even ask where we were from, they just started speaking English.   I think this was the morning that the man from Wisconsin picked us out of a crowd to share his adventures.
