Thank you Joyce.

1. The Olympics kick off this coming weekend. Will you be watching? If you could watch just one event in person, which one would you choose? 

I will be watching what I can before we leave for Montana. That one person would be Simone Biles. 

2. Have you ever been to Paris? Is this a city you'd like to visit? What's your favorite 'French thing'? 

Yes I have been to Paris. I would love to go back to Paris again. I love the Eiffel Tower but I'm thinking your asking for something like French Toast. 

3. Macaron, creme brulee, chocolate soufle, mille feuille, or an eclair...your favorite French patisserie from the ones listed? 

I would go with the eclair. 

4. July 24th is National Cousins Day...do you have many cousins? Are you close to them? Will you see any of your cousins on July 24th? 

I just have two cousin and I never see them. I do keep in touch with one of them.

5.  Last time you went somewhere that felt like 'everyone and his cousin' was there? 

I can't think of anything except maybe the airport. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

When we watched the dogs last week at Adam and Gabby's we had gotten James on Wednesday at his cousins house and we took him to Irvine Regional Park.  We had a nice time with him. 

James was tired and ready to go home.
It was really hot outside!
We rode the train and went to the zoo.

We did see a mountain lion at the zoo!

This is the menu from The French Laundry. The chef did sign it for them. Also everything on that menu is brought to you one at a time with new silverware each time. They said it was unbelievable! 

I might be late in posting next week. We will be arriving at Amber and Dylan's late in the evening on Tuesday so I may not be able to work on the post until Wednesday morning.

A dinner at The French Laundry is on my list of places to eat one day. Hope your trip to Montana was uneventful. Have fun with your daughter and son-in-law!

I'm a big fan of Simone Biles, too, Debby, and I'll be watching when I can. Safe travels, my friend, and God bless!

Debby said...

James is such a handsome little guy!

#1 ... Enjoy your time in Montana..that's wonderful that you can go.
Wow, on the French Laundry menu and service.
Yes we will be watching the Olympics. We have been to the Olympics in Montreal. So exciting. When the 1984 Olympics were cancelled we attended the Track and Field championships in Finland.
Dave is really into sports and I have learned to enjoy them too.
Gymnastics rates right up there at the top as do the track events.

I have never been big on watching the Olympics so I won't be watching.
I do have lots of cousins. I never see any of them any more but we do keep in touch through Facebook

I love Simone Biles, but she's the only athlete/competition I've any interest in. No interest in going back to Paris; maybe it was just the times, but just remember them being so rude and superior-acting to we Americans.

Wishing y'all safe travels and great times with Amber and Dylan ... and, of course, their furbaby!

I am not a big Olympic fan, but I gues I will watch some of it. I like the gymnastics.
I have been to Paris too - and the Eiffle Tower. We ate lunch at the restaurant up there.
You like creme Brule and I will take the chocolate souffle.
I have a hundred cousins and I don't know many of them - long story.
James does look hot.
Don't worry about posting - enjoy the kids.

lots of people chose eclair. A friend of mine just returned from a trip to Canada and had a mountain lion cross the road in front of them.
