Winter



Wintertime. I'm especially unprepared for it this time around, but I hope to make the best of it.
We found a new place to live in. It's not far from where we live now but it's safer, brighter, bigger and newer. New is good. Probably why I move every year. 
Brainstorming a lot lately, about how to decorate the rooms, new little projects, Christmas gifts, bigger projects, about the long term. Having a small holiday party with a few friends. I'm excited to try out some new mac and cheese experiments! Then, to plan a housewarming party in the new year.
I downloaded Day One on my phone and computer, hoping to keep track of my thoughts better. I always wanted to write every morning. Now's as good as a time than any, right?

Paris 6: Landmarks


Notre Dame from Pont de la Tournelle

Waiting in line to enter the Notre Dame


Chimneys, Mary Poppins-style, from the Notre Dame stairwell

View from atop Notre Dame





We didn't go up the Eiffel tower but... we stood at the center of the Eiffel Tower...

...and looked up. Felt grand.


The Eiffel Tower lights up while on a dinner cruise along the Seine

At Le Louvre!








This painting has more square feet than our apartment.


As close as you can get to the Mona Lisa. 


Atop Arc du Triomphe!  Our noses are flaring because we just walked down Champs Elysees, a street longer than that one behind us, then up a serious flight of stairs!

It was raining but we found Moulin Rouge and stopped long enough to take this photo!
