Happy Times

I just caught myself as I was walking into the kitchen on this lovely Saturday morning, after just having read about baby's week 12 and heading to get Duane a treat to bribe him with so I could take away the plastic bottle he was chewing on, about to tell hubby how happy I am right now, how amazing things are. But then I stopped myself. I don't want to have to regret those words, or take them back should the worst happen.

Anyway, I'm happy. And I'm hopeful.

And, thanks to today's post on Tongue In Cheek, and the fact that this morning K was reading about a car that I thought we saw in a great car museum in France, I am also dreaming of France! Of Europe in general. Hubster and I had gone on lovely three-plus week trips in 2005 and 2007, and so we were due for one this summer...but then we bought the house in Burnaby and sunk A LOT of money into it in a short period of time (enough for probably six trips to Europe? Maybe four..) and so we won't be traveling any time soon.

So, let's visit in pictures, shall we?!

2005 trip

Paris

Paris from the Eiffel Tower

The Louvre, here's where they're restoring objet d'art.

At The Louvre, and MAN do my legs ever look short in this photo! The wonderful meeting of the two pyramids would play a part in my engagement ring in the years to come...

Louvre cafe.My favourite favourite favourite piece, ever. Victoire de Samothrace. I should like her to come and live with me.

Forest fires in the South of France.

On the beach near Antibes, between Nice and Cannes.

I have to head out on Saturday errands right now, but next post will be about France from 2007. Have a great day, everyone. And remember to permit yourself to be happy...I know I will.

Hugs and love to all.
