This is What I Saw...


...when i walked around my neighborhood at
5:00 tonight.

the kids get home from school around 4:30..
sometimes if it's not too crazy 
i sneak out for a walk alone.
this time of year..the sun is just 
getting ready to set.
the light against the paris
buildings is just beautiful.
look at the moon up there!
i am truly blessed to live here.

i love this time of night..
rush hour.
there are so many people walking 
the streets.
coming home from work..
going out to pick up dinner.
it's when i feel my most
parisian. :)


parisians waiting in line
for their nightly baguette.


parisians waiting in line
for their poulet and pommes de terre..
(chicken and potatoes..
so good!)


parisians sitting at a cafe'..

and an american taking a 
selfie in her elevator.

  2. When I read your posts, sometimes I can almost feel your excitement, as if you want to pinch yourself to check it's you that's living the daily life you write about.
    Love these photos. I don't usually make comments on all the blogs I read, but this one had such feelings from inside you. Lovely.
    Best wishes Barbara Lilian.

  6. Oh thank you so much, Pam, for sharing your wonderful experiences.
    I totally agree with the above comments, especially Barbara's! You make us feel like we are part of your Paris life.... and we are enjoying the "ride" as much as you, I think!! You are truly blessed, and we know you realize this... but, I also admire how well you cope with raising four children, in a new city, while your husband is away so often. Way to go girl! This Canadian gal is so thankful for your blog!
