We're back.


We have returned from our wonderful month in France. It is a joy to be back to our keyboard as the French keyboard has several letters in different places causing rather slow keyboarding for one use to the "s" and "m" in other places. The trip was a good mix of "on our own" and tour. The Elderhostel tour taking a look at how women and Impressionism interacted was fun. The week in our villa in south central France with Peace Corps friends was as if we had not been apart for more then a payday.

The picture above was taken at a beautiful garden that had been created with flats and elevated plots, in the open space next to the Hotel de Ville in Paris. It was a display of all the wonderful things an urban garden can be. Reminded me of the Impressionists.

We returned home to much mail and immediately headed north to St. Helena Lightstation, paint buckets and our volunteer light keepers duties.

For those of you following our PC application process: Susie has some more medical stuff to get back, I have not heard if I have to do a similar follow-up. Otherwise we are waiting to hear what opportunity we will be offered.
