Tim sent us this picture of his AmeriCore team.......

Emma Claire Cryan at 18 months..........

At last.......pictures from France!!

We flew into Strasbourg first....I think this city is just beautiful!!

This is the Strasbourg Cathedral........

We took the train for a day trip to Colmar. This place was called "La Petite Venise".

We always found something to toast each evening......

This was inside of St. Pierre le Jeune.........

This is the cloister at St Pierre le Jeune......

and this is the organ in St. Thomas Cathedral.......

We spent three nights in Strasbourg and then took the train to Nancy . We stayed there for two nights......

This is the day it started to rain........and it rained for days!!

This is Place Stanislas................

This is a view of the square from under my umbrella........

Even though it rained on us all day........we did have this sunset out our hotel window the first night in Nancy.

From Nancy, we took a day trip by train to Metz....

This is St. Martin Cathedral. Inside there are two different types of architecture.... four Romanesque pillars opening up to a lofty gothic nave.

This is St. Etienne..........

After Nancy, we rented a great little apartment in Paris for a week.

Peter and David were the "Worthy Map Readers" and never led Carol nor I astray!

Peter thinks he might try exhibiting his fruit this way in the fall.........

We met up with Val and Galina in Paris and had a great time showing them around...........

Peter and Carol in the Louvre......

The Medici Fountain in Luxembourg Gardens..........

Galina and Val with Notre Dame in the background.......

We found this little museum dedicated to a Russian sculptor named Ossip Zadkine. This stature reminds me of Peter during harvest when the pickers missed the top of the tree.

Galina and Val spotted this Russian grocery store. We went inside, and Peter enjoyed listening to them speak their native language......

From Paris, we did another day trip by train to Amiens.....

........this is their cathedral.

Carol standing on a private bridge in the St. Leu Quarter of the Amiens Canal.

On Saturday, we saw our friends Carole, Jean-Marc and Chanaël....

We all walked to the Popidou Center which was just a few blocks from our apartment....

We got to see our friend Hugues twice........ Hugues is coming to visit us at our farm in August!

I don't know what happened with this picture, but I like it.........

Some of the stairs leading up to Montmartre.......

The Moulin de la Galette at night.........

Our last day and night in Paris,..it did not rain!!

.........the Louvre

Our last walk along the Seine.......

Jake says: "Hi!"

We have some serious computer problems, and I have not been able to post any pictures from our trip to France. Hopefully, John can rebuild our hard drive; and I will soon be on line again. Here are three pictures that I managed to post from my computer at work.

Skiing Easter Weekend....

I was skiing by myself in Vermont this past weekend. This was the best I could do to document skiing on April 7th!!

We were visiting Peter's brother Gordon and his wife Mary....

This is their cat Lucy........

Who can believe that Connie is 60 today??!!??
