  1. Life can be beautiful.Even with a tiny
    snail at the table!(A bit different from their usual appearance at French tables!)

  2. Morning Nancy,

    What a lovely set of photos! I envy your surroundings...so beautiful.

    Love the blessing of the dogs ritual and I like how you included an 'empty nest'.

    Happy belated birthday to Rick.

    Sorry I have not visited more...been hectic busy with the new business venture and my two shops. I promise to do better as soon as things settle down.

    Big hello to Rick and the family.
