Visitors, cooking, and all that fun stuff...


Here is me with my visitors, my mom and Mrs. Johnson, we took a day to hit some of the local highlights.

Micah and Debbie came along with us and we had a picnic along the way


Oopps, someone caught me putting in a little more garlic

Birthday's, Picnics and Lizards oh my!

Everyone likes a good suprise birthday party.

As today is Melody's birthdy we had a party last night for her.

Being that pinics are easy and can be done fairly spontaneously we wind up doing them rather a lot. Here we are on our day off picnicing on a nearby hill and playing some games. In the picture from left to right Melody Brickel, Micah Cerasani, an intern for a month, me, and Debbie Hocking.

The lizard population is alive and well here in saint Albain, too well. My co-workers cat caught one then let it go in their house, we found it later when Debbie went to grap her sweater and found the tailless lizard.

Return to Saint Albain

This is the new "chez moi", the favorite part of my house being the lovely back porch with a view of the village.
This is my house from the front nice and little.

The worst part of this house is the commute to the chateau everyday, as you can see it is a long way.
This was our first picnic of the year here in Saint Albain, as you can see it was too exciting for words.
