People of Paris #1 …Lady in Red.

Yes, Paris is well know for its cathedrals, museums and the iconic Eiffel Tower.  Interesting, but  the people are what really make this town tick. Thus begins a series of posts showcasing the people found in this fair city… People of Paris.

Through the eyes of a turtle

Attach a GoPro Hero 2 camera (Redneck style) to a Turtle shell and you have a whole new way of looking at life. Images and video captured with the GoPro camera mounted on the turtle during the Gary, South Dakota July 3rd, 2015 Turtle races. GoProTurtlecr

This is the day…

Planning, details, organization… and the day just flies right by.

A wedding celebration is wonderful, but we also need to remember that every day is a gift from God. May their love grow deeper with each passing year.

I’m reminded of that as my husband and I approach our 27th wedding anniversary. Our days may not be glamorous but are filled with laughter, love and adventure. Yes, each day is a gift…

 

A Proper Farewell…

A-h-h-h… Farewell to the Love Locks Bridge…

Paris, the city of love, will need to become creative again and find new ways to express affections due to the determination that the Love Locks phenomenon  has caused a degradation of the heritage of Paris, the heavy weight upon the bridge is causing harmful damage and a safety hazard to tourists. The tradition of adding a padlock has been traced to an Italian teen novel titled I Want You published in 2006.     ~USA Today

So, how do you correctly say “goodbye” when in France?

1. Say “au revoir” in any setting. This is the standard French translation of the English “goodbye” and it can be used in both casual and formal settings, with strangers and friends alike.

Pronounce au revere as oh duh-vwar.

Pronounce salut as sah-loo.

A rough pronunciation of adieu would be and-joo.
