Alwa...Happy 10th blogging anniversary Maggie dear. Always love your posts and stopping here to see what's happening at your home, the village, and beautiful Normandy. <br />Like you, I always enjoyed my family members' visits to see me here in the US - and of course I went home a lot too. Now nobody comes, those who are left are aging, they seem to feel more comfortable at home with travel being harder and often upsetting. I'm not even certain I will be visiting the UK again - other than the airports! I want to of course, but with a few other countries I hope to see, and what is now such a big expense to rent a place at home in England for a lengthy stay, it may not be in the cards.<br /><br />Today I posted a story about how I came to America - wow, just writing about it brings back so many memories!<br /><br />Hope spring continues to be beautiful around your home. The SP certainly seems to be enjoying getting out at the vide grenier - and that's the biggest hot dog I've ever seen, haha!<br /><br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-67039373223985744062017-04-24T07:21:07.157-07:002017-04-24T07:21:07.157-07:00Congrats on the anniversary, Maggie!

We really loved Normandie, spent most of the time at the Cotentin peninsula, and inland through Falaise, Calvados and Camembert. Fantastic castles and Norman history.Lisbeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/00466904375353041610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-41152135135995782017-04-24T01:37:24.575-07:002017-04-24T01:37:24.575-07:00I am sure your Dad is proud of you to be documenti...I am sure your Dad is proud of you to be documenting your life in Normandy through your blog.

Our parents are always with us in our hearts. <br />I remember seeing lambs born on a visit to Ireland.

It seems many of us started around the same time. It was 10 years for me last month. You've shown such interesting posts of what it's like to live in Normandy in your renovated presbytère and surrounding village. I've always enjoyed reading your posts.<br />We never do know what the future holds, do we? That's both reassuring and daunting. Wonderful, everyday photos from your corner of the world. <br />Happy new week, Maggie, and thank you for hosting MM. Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
