the best way to spend the weekend is...

...WITH COUSINS!

...At a beautiful baptism

...not forgetting the very important stop at the American Military Cemetery to commemorate memorial day

...wrapping up with a picnic in the park and a stroll through the picturesque town of Metz and lots more cousin time!

The best way to spend the weekend is with those you love!

a list

A couple of years ago my sister told me that I needed to start posting my own "happy lists".  My sister is the queen of lists.  I love her lists.  Today, I was feeling a little homesick and I thought to myself, I need a "happy list!" 

things that make me happy in France:

1-The market

2-the heart of the city 

3-exploring old villages on Saturday mornings

 4-shutters and doors

 5-drives in the countryside
