Olivia Visits and A Thanksgiving in Pau, France

 We get up and get ourselves on the bus to the Airport.


Entering the elevator


On the bus - We are near
the airport


We wait at the airport


It’s Olivia’s plane!


She’s here!

She sees us!


I think she’s happy to see Grandpa


We walk through the Beaumont Part to get “home”


The day is spent showing Olivia the city,
and our view.

The next day we walk into town and visit Christie and Dave.
They take us on a walk on their side of town,

She’s already going back…
We get up early, it’s foggy, we walk to the bus
to the airport.

The walk from the bus to the Terminal

We drop her off and are on our way home…


C’est la France…

(She arrives safely in Paris)

The next days are quiet, waiting for Thanksgiving.






Hmm, someone has slipped an envelope under our door.

We accept the invitation
from François and Patrick

François and Patrick

Wonderful treats

Patrick speaks little English and I little French so
John and François referred to us (Patrick and me) 
to complete and explain things.

We had a wonderful time getting to know each other.
We are doing it again next week at our apartment.

It’s Thanksgiving today!


Having Thanksgiving with Christie and David.
(Forgot my camera, so no photos)

A day of fun conversation, laughter and 
American football - College and NFL_-
before a dinner of 
Turkey, dressing, potatoes mashed, yams mashed, green beans
Butternut squash, wine and…
Pumpkin Pie!

What we bring home.

Thankful for such a life

Friday is restful
A walk in the neighborhood.
