Test, Test, Test!!!! Trying to figure out how to make an entry on our blog. For some reason it all comes out in French....Neecie says it is because there is an alien living in our computer, an alternative life form, that takes over. Hope we figure it out so we can keep ourselves and our faithful followers up to date.

Sat. May 15--The day dawns bright and clear and we raise the shades on the casement windows to let in the sun. “Dawn” isn’t exactly the time of our rising this morning (it’s after 12 now) but we have been up for a few hours now, made our coffee, and breakfasted on some bread and cheese (our second priority, after computer hook up) that we bought in the fromagerie (cheese store) yesterday. Now we plan our day. Take the metro to St. Michel, walk to Notre Dame, visit the English bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, and stroll along the Seine. It’s so sunny we might also visit Ste. Chappelle, the medieval church with the sparkling stained glass windows.I’m supposed to be writing this blog, but Katie keeps coming and talking to me. Do you suppose she doesn’t know that when one is writing, one is totally focused and interruptions are not tolerated well? I can’t work under these conditions. Will write more at the end of the day.
