I had a blast at the Fête du Citron à Menton!

I have a new secret weapon to use in my lucid day dreams: Confetti Cannon

I have been imagining them going off all around me.

It particularly helped during the 6 hours I have spent at the Apple store this week.

Here are a couple of Confetti shots from the festival...

I have one travel tip for you if you decide to have lunch during the Corso:

Be sure to cover you plate and wine glass as the floats go by!

Trojan Blast!

A year ago today...

I was in Paris.

Last night with Kenny and Duggy.

We walked thru Cimetière du Père-Lachaise.

I scattered some of Wally's ashes under a tree.

We drank a bottle of rose in the drizzling rain with Oscar.

Memories of lavender crème brulée haunt me.

Lavender crème brulée heaven.... St. Maximin la Ste. Baume, France July 17, 2010

We had such a wonderful time.

Highlight of the trip, even topping the crème brulée, was Jeff, helping carry the Reliquary with contains the skull of Mary Magdalena thru town!

It is really creepy that they put a "face" cover over the skull when they take her outside...

17 Days Until Take Off

Only 17 days until we jet off to Nice.

I have secured the most awesome accommodations for our stay.

I have rented an apartment July 10-17 in Menton

I stayed at Domaine de Conillieres last fall for a week with Kenny and Senior Bugg. I am looking forward to my return. To seeing Phillip and sharing the countryside with Jeff and Hailey.
