Me and My Monsieur

 

Having the Chatette to myself on my last visit, I decided that once I finished the work work stuff I wanted to do in the galerie cave, I would spend some time with my Monsieur

He sounded so pretty when I played him a bit before getting to work that I made another decision: I was going to open him up and let him shine. He did.

 

 

The insurance pieces and my less than stellar knowledge of the French Language have had me on a roller coaster at least one point every week. This past week I told Eric:

"At the rate it's going with the money, it's going to be me and Monsieur Winkelmann in a basically empty (albeit very beautiful) Chatette." 

Eric brought me back around when he wrote:

 

"You, Monsieur Winkelmann, a bed, table, coffee pot and a microwave...with that incredibly beautiful view out those windows you don't need anymore!"

 

 

Once again, Eric reminded me of what I'm sometimes way to close to see from where I am. I reminded myself how many times over all these months I sat on that stone front porch and said:

"Just this is enough. Me and my empty Chatette and this view are enough!" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I soldier on.

 

Lots of spirits were moving on the Lot on Thursday. The Chatette and Monsieur Winkelmann were speaking to me. The new windows do produce quite a view even when they're closed, but it was when I began to play with an open door and an open Monsieur that the aha hit!

I've never played quite that way during the day. Playing to the open door to the Lot River in the sunshine with that view made all the difference.

We are fine.

Happy Saturday!

Your surprise is on its way. I'm sending it to your email shortly. We are all survivors for sure...a friend of mine used the word "thrivers" which I thought was even better. I'm not sure I'm there yet. Love to you both and Happy Weekend-Laury

yes, Winkelmann and a pair of overalls, that will make it :) so happy that you still have the piano in place, here I'm getting better, but it is every day since the stroke last summer, a matter of insisting on getting up and move forward, but you, Bodil and I are all fighters for a good life, I feel we energise each other, even if we are living in different parts ! have a nice weekend, looking forward to your surprise !:) lol Niels
