Getting Ready for part 2 of my French pilgrimage

Last year, I wanted to blog about my time in France. I did not prepare in advance, and trying to do it while in France did not work for a technophobe like me. So, I depended on Facebook alone to share my photos and stories. I was happy with the followers and comments I received there, so I’m resolved to do better this time! With two months out and with a bit of commitment, I might get it done!

Alicia, Leda, and Joanie at the playground at Morris Park. Beautiful shade, historic buildings and artifacts, and even a recently widened hiking trail through the woods! Great morning activity before they said goodbye.
Hiking from Morris Park to the farmhouse in Van Buren County this morning I enjoyed the volunteer morning glories along the side of the dry, dusty gravel road. Beauty everywhere.
In Bonaparte, after a delicious Sunday dinner, we enjoyed the shade in front of the old Bonaparte Glove Factory while the girls played on mini merry go rounds, and we all watched the Des Moines River flow by. Ellis, Scott, Cyrus & Alicia.

Recently retired from an Iowa high school, I was a French & English teacher, now seeking adventure and meaning through walking, learning, listening, and being thankful for the joy that is life. I love faith that leads to greater understanding, love and service, friends that encourage, and family. I hope my blog will inspire, inform, and delight my readers. Beauty is all around us, if we take the time to notice it. I know I don’t have to be in France to blog; it’s just that France has stolen my heart.
