5- Spring Arrived Officially

I do love reflection pictures

Clouds prevented viewing the planet's aligned and the beautiful full red moon, but nothing hampered spring's arrival. It was a beautiful day, maybe 19 degrees.

Last week continued routinely with dog walks morning and most nights and a lot of reading.

Saturday we went to Tedy's basketball match in the morning. They won handily.

TEAM PICTURE.

He's #5.

In the afternoon Joanna had another archery competition, the last indoor, and she got 2nd place for the whole season in 'naked bow'.

THEN, Saturday night I finally got to see a football match. It was raining and cold and not at all the weather we'd been having. I didn't have enough clothes with me to prepare for this night, so Karen borrowed a couple of coats from the locker room to help keep me from perishing.

WOW! What a day!

Monday was St. Patrick's Day and I celebrated by 'wearing of the green' and we had 'green' Brussels sprouts for supper.

I'm busy much of the time with a secret project, but I think I'm on track to reach 300 km. if I continue faithfully. I need to explore some new trails. Time is ticking, much too quickly.

Tomorrow we travel to Montpellier for an away game ( and I'll take lots of clothes) and some more fun things are ahead for my final week and half.

17- All Good Things Come to an End

My latest caricature created from my birthday picture at Richard's (My teeth are definitely not that perfect, but thanks AI) March is ending and so is my visit in France. I've tried to capture and share some of the beauty, and the fun I've had. The weekend of March 21 the Elite team had a home game so I decided to go exploring for the day till game time at 4. I got off the bus in Gières and walked down to the beginning of B tram. I deposited an English book I'd brought with me at the free library at that stop. It has a note in it asking if the person who takes it would contact me. I'm anxious to see if someone will. I got on the B tram with no plan but as I went, I thought I would ride it all the way as I have done a couple other lines. It's a great way to see the city and get the 'lay of the land'. I didn't realized how far it went. From my seat I could people watch, window shop, and even tour some of the campus and ended up on the other side of...

13- Wow! It's February

I've seen several memes of shock that it's February and I thought the same. But, I am happy for each change as spring marches toward us. Our days are getting longer and dawn comes earlier. I'm not a bird-er, but I used my Merlin app to record the pre-dawn serenade through my open window and this is the singer. He has several songs, some more melodious than others. I thought it was more than one species but Merlin only comes up with this fellow. I walk the dog in an empty space behind the school where I can let him off leash. This is what I encountered one day as I strolled in the leaves. Don't look too closely at first, and what do you suppose I thought? It took my heart a little while to settle down from the startle factor and then I laughed and got a picture. I attended a Tony Robbins webinar on line for 3 days, well evenings for me, because of being ahead 6 hours. I, also, was following a missing person reports from home, with no positive results as yet. Sunday 1...

14- Enjoying Olympics

We've had so much rain, so on my walk this morning, when there was no traffic, I actually heard the waterfall. It's not very visible from the road but the sound reminded me to look up. We enjoyed Tedy's 15th birthday with his requested supper of Chicken Caesar and Joanna made chocolate chip cookies to turn into ice cream sandwiches. David's desk is in the room where I spend my time, so we've shared a lot of the highs and lows for Canada, as he works away on his football plans and watching film. Last night, while he was at practice , I witnessed Canada Women's Hockey and shared the sorrow of their overtime loss of gold. Right now I'm in the midst of cheering women's curling semi-final against Sweden. GO CANADA GO! Spring is starting to show its sweet face, but I guess, there's been an unusual amount of rain, and Karen has been telling me about hearing reports of avalanches, including one that shut down the trains to and from Valence area. Football s...
