What beauty! It was also very relaxing. We bought baguette and wine and stayed until the sun set writing in our journals, reading and watching the people. I consider this to be one of my favorite places on earth and I NEED to get back there. Lucky for me your post brought it all back.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25816574.post-2699723541805897732009-06-12T20:18:22.153-04:002009-06-12T20:18:22.153-04:00Jeanie, how great to meet you today, right on my c...<b>Jeanie</b>, how great to meet you today, right on my campus, what a small world.

I was quite a bit like that first statue these last weeks, as you know.<br /><br />My brother and his wife gave us this beautiful book the summer after Don and I went to Paris for our 25th anniversary. I will continue to post photos from it when there are sketches to fit the posts. Moireau has sketchbooks of New York, the Loire Valley, Paris gardens, Venice, and others I believe.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25816574.post-91771273402320480592009-05-20T09:54:14.318-04:002009-05-20T09:54:14.318-04:00I wondered when we would be getting back to Paris!...I wondered when we would be getting back to Paris! I missed it so! Lovely, lovely views! And no dirty-faced children either. :)<br /><br />That sketchbook is amazing!
