It's been mighty quiet around here...
I'd like to blame the big Blogger glitch that took place last week,
but the truth is
I was under-the-weather with a sinus & ear infection,
a horrid raspy voice
{always handy when you're an English teacher}
& zero energy.
The doctor said lots of people are getting ill
with the same kind of gunk these days
& blamed it on the unseasonably warm & dry weather.
So I guess if this early summer is good for my balcony garden,
it's not necessarily good for my sinuses...
The good news?
I'm definitely on the mend
& here to post photos of the scenes from this past weekend.
The main theme of the weekend was
Joyeux Anniversaire Jean-Yves !
In other words, my father-in-law turned 60
& we had a big yummy lunch on Saturday to celebrate.
The restaurant was fabulous enough to merit its own post,
which I'll do this week.
For the moment, enjoy a sneak preview!

Pommiers is so beautiful. No wonder I took 500 photos in my 4 days there!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a lovely weekend. Hope you are feeling a million times better this week.

Very cool shoes, Em. It looks like you had a good weekend. Wish we could have been there to share the festivities with everyone.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird to say that your father-in-law is very, very nice looking for a man his age? I hope not, because I think he is. :) Looks like a great weekend!
