    You 2 are the best advertisement of what marriage is - patience, acceptance, enjoying each other, genuine affection and total commitment - loving each other and wanting the other to be happy.

    My mom called my three younger sisters "girlies" when they were little (they are a lot younger than me and close in age) so every time you said it I had a little pang of missing my mom, she's been gone over 20 years now! Funny how little turns of phrase can bring back such sweet long forgotten memories.

    We forget when living in France just how exotic and lovely this is for those abroad to see ! My daughter just bought a lovely house ten metres from the water in Britanny. She almost hesitated so I said 'are you mad, go for it' ! Can't wait to go visit.

And how beautiful Bretagne/Brittany is, and so much to see and do. Good to know - visit just out of tourist season. I had a friend quite a long while ago, she came from Bretagne, France. She married one of our friends and they have lived in Quebec ever since. Their children must now be all grown up. Thank you so much for taking us along with you.
