Because You Asked:

Because I have been asked more than once I am going to answer here today:

- Annie is doing well. Slower than before, but still her beautiful self. As she lives around the corner so I am able to see her often.

-Jean Luc, Chelsea's boyfriend's father is doing better and better. He is at home, relearning how to walk. He thanks you for the many cards and prayers, he was touched deeply by your friendship and concern.  

- Yes we rent our apartment in Paris. If you are interested let me know by email. We rent it for a three day minimum.

-Yes the tiny house in my town is also available to rent. It sleeps 2. 

-Yes My friend Ruth and I are doing week long French Muse Experiences, brocante, art, food, visiting homes... http://thefrenchmuse.com/provence-brocante-retreat/book-french-muse-experience-now/

- I have been walking daily since September: 5 to 8 miles a day. The race that Chelsea dared me to do is in March in Paris. I am ready. 

- My brocante shop is open after a long delay due to the 30 percent postage hike. Though French Husband find a loop hole and I am back in business.

-Alice my friend's daughter might be coming back to France to do an internship... though tomorrow she has a very important interview in Australia... either way she is very happy.
