{simple saturday}: Mon Fils Visite de la Tour Eiffel


My youngest son is doing a six-week college internship in Paris this summer.  (C'est magnifique, n'est-ce pas?)  He's traveling all about France while doing research on the WWI and WWII war memorials over there (many of which are dedicated to U.S. servicemen).  I miss him terribly, but I wouldn't have wanted him to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just because his mommy was having a severe case of separation anxiety.  He is learning so much--and seeing things I never dreamed he'd see by the age of 20.

For instance, he recently visited the Eiffel Tower.

[Le sigh...]

And that is all (c'est tout, if you'll excuse my French).  But you can head on over to Iris's now, for some other simply delightful posts.  Au revoir, mes amis!

    1. I know, it's really something. I miss him, but I'm happy for him (and proud of him, too).

      Hey, let me know what you think of the new look of the blog. I wanted to jazz it up a little, and I figured out how to add all the new stuff ALL BY MYSELF!

  2. I LOVE the picture of the Miraculous Medal - the most beautiful I've ever seen. I wonder if the caricature picture of your family can be cropped a bit so the figures are larger in the space. Have a great weekend!

    2. Anna, I embedded a link to an old post that featured that cartoon, so if you go there you can see a bigger version of it. :)

    1. I'm getting brave! On a whim, I started playing, trying to remember how you helped me put the image of the book cover with the embedded link on there. It was fun "decorating" my page--I thought my blog was a lot more boring looking than most of the ones I see. (I'm not even sure if that "follow by email" thing will work--I hope so. I was adding things with reckless abandon!)

  4. For Iris: I saw the comment you left on this post via e-mail. For some reason, however, it never appeared on here. Thanks for stopping by! :)
