Last summer, Sammie cat and I went to visit our friend Clare-Miller McFarland in Degagnac. We caught the bus in Cadrieu to Cahors, where Clare met us at the Gare and took us to her place. Sleepovers with friends where I can bring Sammie Cat with me had never been heard of until that trip. She was great in her carrier, and even got a free ride both directions. We stayed a couple nights and had so much fun. "Aunt Clare" now checks in to see how Sammie Cat is doing on a regular basis.
During that trip, Clare and I went to dinner at Miek and Guy's house in the village.
Miek and Guy are a Belgian couple who were also hosting Pat and Graeme. It was lots of fun for lots of reasons. Pat and Graeme had rented from Clare in the past, and both had read my blog. I had to laugh when Graeme was disappointed that I wasn't in my overalls!
Now, we're all in touch through the wonders of Facebook. I'm enjoying Miek's photos and sharings regularly. And, I've been keeping up with Pat and Graeme's lives and travels. When I saw that they were in Panama City, I told them they were so close they should think about coming for a visit. Et Voila!
Pat and Graeme are going to be making their way to New Orleans today. We have plans to spend Sunday and Monday being tourists together, before they continue north home to Canada. I think I might be able to show up in overalls this time. Can't wait till tomorrow! Wish the rest of the gang could be here too!
