Saturday through Wednesday - France

My dear friends,

There is something about living in France. I don't have time to tell you all, but here are some headlines: the weather is unpredictable (so far we have NOT had any hail, snow or frost ~ all other kinds are freely moving about the country with enormous amounts of water coming down); the grass is indeed greener; the place is old, much older than you have ever seen. The little village (Le Coulet) my sister and brother-in-law have this small house in, has been talked about in the 12th century when people lived and worked there. Edna has taken a liking to the Watchman (I will explain later). The two geriatric cats do well in France. The bread and cheese are great. Right now I am in an internet cafe in Le Cheylard. Time is money :-). French keyboards are difficult to use. Life has come down to basics: food, heat and a roof over the head.

Got to go now, until later!
