Take one Canadian girl in les Alpes.
Add the ups & downs of living in France.

Les Scènes du Week-end {9}

It's been mighty quiet around here...

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!

attempt to keep Juliette distracted at long lunch - French vs English spelling, whee!
Sunday-morning cuddles with Merlin, FQ's cat who lives at his parents' house

I never get tired of the view from my parents-in-law's house

  1. Pommiers is so beautiful. No wonder I took 500 photos in my 4 days there!

  3. Is 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!
