Dansons in Delaware

French-tards, eventually gave way to a more fluid option:

Paris-tards

Pronounced: pa-REE-tards

Much closer to the actual word "retard," and therefore, much better.

And today, they left. And that makes me sad. What wonderful guests and wonderful friends. We had an amazing life back in Austin and they were one of the reasons it was so.

Some days, I wonder if it will ever be worth it that we came here. So far, I can come up with: great vacations, improvement in my cooking skills, learning French, and the fact that yesterday, my son answered me when I asked him a question in French.

I need to post pics. The Orsay has a floor call the Salles des Fetes and it's beautiful. Never seen it before! Once I get the pics from Renee, I will post them. There were also other rooms with cute urns and gigantic vases that would look GREAT in my house one day.
