BIRTHDAY LUNCH AT THE PUY-DE-DOME
For my 31st birthday, D took the day off and spent it with me. I do have a wonderful husband! This was an unexpected treat as he was booked to be in Algeria this week. His trip was cancelled at the last minute, and I was thrilled that we were able to spend the day together yesterday. We took SA to the babysitter and went to a restaurant at the top of the Puy-de-Dome for lunch. The Puy-de-Dome is the highest mountain in our region and it is also an inactive volcano. Pretty cool- huh? Anyway, you can see it from miles around, and on a clear day like yesterday, there is a beautiful view from the top. After we had lunch and enjoyed the scenery for a while, we headed back into the city to pick up a portrait of SA that we had framed for my birthday present. It is magnifique! I can't wait to hang it up on the wall. D came home Tues night with flowers (lilies which are my favorite) and chocolates from the best chocolatier in town. So sweet!

Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday. I'm so glad. We just celebrated R's 33rd yesterday. Congratulations on the arrival of your newest niece. How fun that SA has so many cousins! Love you! APB
What a fantastic birthday! I'm so glad D was available on your special day. Do you realize that you and I have officially known each other now for more than half our lives?? XO
Hello, Stranger! Just dropping in to say hi. I ran into Aimee at church and she told me about your blog. SA is ADORABLE! Tell D I said hello. Take care!
Stephanie, it is so good to hear from you! Keep in touch!
Rach,
So sorry I haven't blogged since the beginning. I lost the website and forgot how to work this, too. I loved reading all your blogs today, though, and getting caught up. It's so fun to read about your adventures and see the pictures! SA is so cute--such a mixture of you and D, don't you think? Glad you had a good trip home and a good b'day. When will you go home next or have visitors from home? How's your French coming along? Love you, CCR
