Before work

Summoning the sun

Sometimes, before daddy leaves for work, he sits at the computer to see what the weather is going to be like. When he does that, I like to crawl up on his lap and ask him to put on clips from snoopy musicals, or a little Fred Astaire tap, or some nice piano.

That's what we did this morning. Then we took a couple of snaps to capture the moment. I know daddy took the pictures so he could look at them while he's at work, missing me terribly.

Way out west

Lighthouses, crèpes, cider and lots of that delicious caramel with sea salt! Of course I'm talking about Bretagne. But not just any part of Bretagne, the Finisterre, the end of the Earth, the western most point in metropolitan France!



May day weekend and I put my mommy and daddy on an early morning train to Brest. Daddy's friend of 20 years, Nathalie, was with us to make my first long train trip (Brest is as far from Paris as the Provence). We were all on a voyage to the end of the Earth because daddy was honored to be the Godfather of Nathalie and Jean's third and beautiful son, Jacques.

I was quite taken by Nathalie and Jean's three handsome sons, but I was modest and will wait a few years.



I spent most of my time sleeping; I think the sea air had a calming effect on me and I was, after all, on vacation. The baptism was on Saturday evening. It was the first time that I went to a church on the seaside. I slept there too.

After a weekend of good food, walks by the sea and lots of quality time with our dear friends, we climbed back on the train for our trip back to the Gare Montparnasse. I ate my first croque monsieur during the long trip!

I love Paris and the sun was out to greet us on our return. This week I am finally in my summer clothing and, as always, a very happy girl!
