It's no secret, I love St. Cirq Lapopie. Reconnecting there is as important to me as is reconnecting with the Chatette. Friday's visit with Evelyn met the reconnection challenge, and then some.
Since my first trip to St. Cirq in 1996, the church there saddened me. The stain glass was broken, it seemed stark and empty, and it didn't really look like anyone was going to bring it back to life. But, here we are almost 18 years later, the church has life, color, repaired stained glass, and saints a plenty. The moment we walked in, this stained glass reflection took my breath away and I had to have a shot. My Merci lady was there waiting for me too. I lit my candle with intense gratefulness...but this time also had a little special energy stirring request for my parents.
Rarely do I buy anything in St. Cirq Lapopie. Money, coming by bus, and expensive items usually got in my way. Even though money is always an issue, we'd come by car, I'd found a couple of very reasonable and perfect items. What fun to have a huge wide-brimmed straw hat call my name just as Evelyn and I were about to walk out of a clothing shop.
And, having a beautiful non-functioning thermometer and a nasty, plastic functioning one that slammed in the wind on the terrace, was all the encouragement I needed to treat myself to a new, beautiful one that would work and dress up the terrace right out side the kitchen window. I bet my bittie birds and roses will be happier too.
And of course, there will always be my favorite restaurant with my favorite meals and flowers all along the way.
Happy Sunday!
