Not so Fond Farewell

Who'd have ever thought that I would be the one helping my friends check on car repairs, provide moral support for the fosse-septique inspection, make vet appointments and round up a gardener...all en français? I still struggle and make mistakes. But, I apologize less and I try more...both good things. Joan and her daughter head back to England on Thursday. It's been a wonderful visit so far. I expect more wonderful before their departure with Aris on Thursday. It will be hard to say good by, because once again-I don't know how long it is going to be or if they will even be coming back. So as they're heading north on the A20 on Thursday, this is the picture of my friend taken at the Gouffre de Lantouy that will be etched on my mind and in my heart. Dali, Lucie, Sam and I will miss you guys.We hope for an a bientôt, not an au revoir!
