Posting this favorite photo above both here and on Facebook; I heard from a friend who jokingly said that Loto winnings would have been a nice welcome home from Paris too. I hadn't even noticed the LOTO sign in the background. The week went on a little further, with more photos, comments and interchange, but the best was when he said: "I think you've already won the LOTO!" And I have. It's true. I'd guess the odds of me having this life of mine in my lifetime, are as high or higher than winning the LOTO. I'll take the experiences: peace, magic, history, and romance over the cash any day.

Oh Arabella, you always pull me up at just the right time! As I'm sure you know...it's an ongoing struggle to reach that balance! Will write more to you later-Love to you and Chip and the kids-Laury, Dali and Sam

I love this post. I continue to use you as an example to others. I had a Health Leadership Academy 2 day retreat this week (we meet monthly for 2 days) and we did a quick activity modeled after speed dating. You came up in conversation twice as I used you as an example of someone who managed to find balance. I always smile thinking of you in your Chatette with Dali and Sam capturing each day in words and photos!
