Amy, your class is adorable and must be very talented to keep up with you. And ugly is in the eye of the monkey. I thought it was very chic.
I loved that you made Les the hero of this story. Fresh from the serenity of the Abbey Les showed his athletic range from his known skill at the glacially slow Arctic croquet to the Le Mans speed and daring at the parking garage course - Louvre cameras will have captured video that will replace the chase scenes in the French Connection as the epitome of unauthorized rogue driving.
The residue of your latest French exposition will add verve and excitement to Dallas on your return.
Love to see my mom and dad gallivanting around France together. I also spent Valentine's Day finding second-hand furniture, in NYC. Need to send you some pics!
Oh my....what a fun weekend. Love the purchases at the flea market also. Our weekend was quite boring in comparison. Can't wait for you to return home after a fun week with the Thirsty girls. I will be missing out. Love you. Dana
You wrote so beautifully. I was sad the story ended. Was all curled up ready for the next chapter. So happy y'all had fun. And you are hilarious, of course!💝
What a wonderful end to your LCB experience. I am no expert but those items look amazing and delicious. Oh my for the road trip but what fun. I absolutely love the monkey lamp and the shade is fantastic. What a find.
Congratulations on another LCB achievement. Never a doubt! So glad you had multiple celebrations - much deserved! Happy to know you, Les and the BMW made it home safely.
What a wonderful Valentine’s Day in Paris! I love seeing all the wonderful pictures of your delicious breads and your precious husband and yourself! You all are in the best chapter ever!❤️
The Bourne Identity, Mission Impossible, John Wick - I'm sure all of these inspired Les's driving in the labyrinths of the Louvre! So glad you didn't get into an accident!! I LOVE HIS FACE in the monkey lamp photo - he is absolutely not happy to be purchasing that...HAHAHA! It's amazing by the way. And next time we're in Paris at the same time, please take me shopping to that flea market! The Abbey looks gorgeous! But your final exam breads are even more spectacular! Can't wait to see you soon! xoxoox
Congratulations you little chef!!! Sounds like a wonderfully relaxing couple of days to get you ready for the rental return!! Love the monkey lamp too. Happy belated Valentines Day!! 🩷
Congrats you official Cordon Blue boulanger!! No small feat. Your class looks delightful! SO awesome you had them all over. The rental car story is priceless and SO very European. Done working at noon! Your country escape looks heavenly. Come home- we miss you.
The Rental Car.
Ah yes. The final challenge of your Paris 2026 experience.
Where signage is interpretive,
The exit ramp is philosophical,
And the return lot exists in a parallel dimension only accessible by faith and three wrong turns.
I'm glad you and Les are still married!
You survived it.
You survived all of it.
High tide.
Low gluten morale.
Ecclesiastical lodging.
Nicotine-stained tabac with café that could resurrect Voltaire.
And the bureaucratic labyrinth of Charles de Gaulle parking structures.
Also, I love your flea market purchases!
More than passing Boulangerie, you've had a graduate seminar in resilience in French annoyances.
Come back to Dallas where life is easy and no one cares if your crusts are crispy! Love, Kathy
You should be writing the blog! Love your witty comments!

Exactly! The shade alone is worth so
Much-with the little cut out for the monkey’s face!!
