Less than three months until Paris 2014. What wonders lie ahead?
I took this from my sister-in-law Michele's apartment window the first night of the trip my friend, Barbara, and I took in 2011. I stood and stared at the city beneath me, so excited that our whole trip lay ahead. The small orb-like lights are not spirits, alas, but raindrops on the huge picture window.
Across the Seine, March 2013.
The I. M. Pei entrance to the Louvre. (Museum open 'til 9:45 on Wed. and Fri.!)

I was watching a Modern Family episode yesterday about parent-teacher conferences and it reminded me of how you used to go to mine and take notes. That was so sweet of you. I vividly remember dark blue cursive phrases wrapping around the edges of whatever handout the teacher had given you. Such a good mommy. Love and miss you tons!
I loved parent-teacher conferences and Open House even more. I loved the glimpse into your world so much I had to get a job there so I could walk in it after you left. Tonight, I had to call teachers to tell them that school is cancelled for tomorrow. One of the teachers said, "Oh, by the way, I was cleaning out my classroom and found one of your daughter's projects. It's hilarious!" I didn't know she'd been your teacher. I don't even know what she teaches. She's going to give me the "hilarious' project. I'll keep you posted.
