Hello Blogger Buddies, I am back finally in California. Its Wednesday morning and I was up by 5:30 with the birds chirping outside the bedroom. I flew back from Boston where I missed my connecting flight from Paris. Luckily Rachel lives there and I had a good night sleep before getting up at 3:30 am Boston time to fly with Rachel to California. It all worked out well, though I was very lacking on sleep for the 2 days of travel.
I went to Belgium with my Uncle Rene and Aunt Phyllis to the city of Ghent, my mother's birth place. We had a wonderful walk around town and a great time visiting our relatives and friends in the area. Afterwards we went to the northern coast of France and drove along the coast to the town of HonFleur and then on the way to the airport, we went to Giverny, the artist colony made famous by Monet. I was able to practice my French and take a ton of pictures for future paintings that I will do.
Now my next chore will be to create a slide show to quickly display the adventure. (and here it is finally)

Merci infiniment à nos amis de la Belgique Deni et Colette, Francois et Anne d'être les centres serveurs délicieux en notre voyage.Et merci Rene et Phyllis de m'inclure dans leurs aventures de la semaine. Je suis dans votre dette.

And thank you so Fritz for making this possible for me in the first place. Avec amour, Lorette

Hello Blogger buddies. I am here in Boston right now. I am on my way back from a trip to Belgium with my Uncle Rene and Aunt Phyllis. I had a very nice time. I am sleep deprived right now though. I flew in late to Boston and didn't make my connection flight. I have a flight at 7:45 this morning. Rachel is also flying home for the week for a Birthday/vacation break. Her flight was at 5:00 am so here I am back at the airport. It will be good to be home a
