Wouldn't You Know It?!

Well, all my plans for sharing "vacation" pictures and stories have temporarily flown out the window. My computer went "kaput" on me a few days ago and Mom took it home with her for fixing. Dad will be bringing it back with him when he comes to visit. (That arrangement is quite Providential!) In the meantime (about two more weeks), I am without a computer of my own... meaning, without all the pictures I took while Mom and Linds were here and with only very limited time online.

So, the pictures and stories will have to wait. Suffice it to say, it was a very good visit - although the weather certainly didn't cooperate!! It was sooo great to see Mom and Lindsey again and get to share a little bit of France with them. The highlights of their visit were the evening we ate outside at le Soubise (sp?) here in St. Germain-en-Laye, the rendez-vous with Thomas, and the visits to Bayeux, Lisieux, and Versailles... of course, there were many lesser but also enjoyable things in between. :)

Anyway, I hope you're all hanging in there. I am, although Passiontide has not missed me in its doling out of crosses. :P I hope your Lent is wrapping up well and wish you all the best, until the next time!

Hopefully, your Pops will return your 'puter. Thanks for the little post, and I'm glad it went (mostly) well during the visit of the Americans. Thanks for taking good care of them.

By your tone, it sounds like you need some R&R in EspaƱa, m'ija.

While you are "away", I have put up 54 "highlight" photos of my whirlwind visit -- without a password -- on my smugmug, Monnie, if you want to let any of your friends see these photos. I'm afraid they have a lot of ME in them, but perhaps a taste of what we did to tide them over until you can give the beautifully-written and interestingly full "Monica Report" on it!
