Paris!!! A wonderful city to see but I wouldn’t want to live here. Really.
Twinkly Eiffel Tower lights.
Buying bread from people who don’t care that I can’t speak a lick of French. They just smile and take my money ’cause (I think) they know how much I just wanna stuff that baguette in my face!
Adventures that catch us by surprise but make us smile.
Having a tan in March.
Anticipating reunions.
Being loved. And being in love, too… 😉
Time to visit one more bakery before we come home tomorrow. (I know you will all be so glad when I’m not talking about bread anymore!!!)
Good talks about tough stuff.
Time to reflect and appreciate blessings I’ve forgotten I had.
Too funny! All I talk about when I recall my trip to Romania was buying fresh bread from the baker and it being the most amazing thing ever! Is it a U.S. thing or us? =)
Yeah, all I know is that Europeans know how to make their bread!
I actually bought a few baguettes yesterday morning and brought them back because I could. Stuffed them in my carry-on, and amazingly, they made it back without being completely squashed! 
Hi Mel,
Ruth here (Tobin’s former colleague at Anoka County.) I’m long overdue letting you know how much I’m enjoying your blog. Your most recent posts about your fabulous trip put me in such a mood to travel again! We were in Paris last fall and I agree — the bread was fabulous! Looking forward to hearing more about your trip (and seeing more photos!)
Ruth
Thanks for the note, Ruth! It’s good to hear from you. And I’ll get to those pictures soon…we have a lot to share.
Hope you are doing well!
