I would travel to Ireland and Spain, but really anywhere in Europe, I would be happy to see.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621591443896350515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-21902837250510324992023-05-26T16:56:36.764-04:002023-05-26T16:56:36.764-04:00Sandra, I loved everything you shared and all the ...Sandra, I loved everything you shared and all the great photos. How wonderful to see you with Brianne and Brady! And then the dogs, flowers, and trees. However, I nearly gasped when you shared your desire to return to southern France. I almost wrote the exact same thing! We spent about a week in Nice and rode the bus to new destinations every day, including Saint Paul de Vence, which was fabulous! We also took the bus to Monaco and toured the town on foot and enjoyed the Jacques Cousteau museum. (We didn't have time to venture into Provence or north to Paris, and part of me would love to return.) We don't know a lick of French, so we had a few moments of panic as we navigated our way with Rick Steves' travel guide in hand. It was an adventure, and I loved seeing your photos that are similar to my own. Thanks for the mental trip back to that spectacular location.Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786814475722134777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-90999316067898046752023-05-26T07:43:12.537-04:002023-05-26T07:43:12.537-04:00I love all the trees you planted, and what a lovel...I love all the trees you planted, and what a lovely idea to plant a tree in memory or honor of a loved one. That is a great photo of you and your family. That kind of restaurant sign draws me in immediately, I wonder why. I bet your bearded iris smell wonderful.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-29806597457005741352023-05-25T20:27:26.841-04:002023-05-25T20:27:26.841-04:00I enjoyed your post!!!

I’ve used plain old white tissue paper in that way. I like it but it tears easily. <br />So glad you had family time with Brianne and Brady! He surely is growing into a handsome lad!grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-9563428291976996632023-05-25T17:20:05.025-04:002023-05-25T17:20:05.025-04:00Another lovely gratitude post and your trees are l...Another lovely gratitude post and your trees are looking lovely. I too love dogs ( most animals really) and have many dog cuddles when out & about. Not been to south of France, but it looks interesting. So McGyver is another handy person. We love turning old timber & other bits into something interesting also. Thanks for sharing, take care & hugs.Susan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945482062858126629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-76275161570990619122023-05-25T11:44:14.229-04:002023-05-25T11:44:14.229-04:00When/How did Brady get so big?

Yet it continues in many lands with many people, all in the name of "religion". Your trees are looking so wonderful. It is such a pleasure to see spring arrive after such a long hard winter. I love the last photo of Provence the best with the balconies on that building in the middle.
