Our new friends from France told us of a little French restaurant and patisserie right here in our town. So, Kevin took me there this morning for a breakfast date. The owner, she is French, no?
All the pastries in the cases looked just like many we saw while in Lyon visiting Trey and Kari. We were delighted. I enjoyed one of the croissant aux amandes(almond croissant) while Kevin enjoyed the pain au chocolat and a croissant aux amandes (Trey, Kari...correct French?)
There were so many delicious choices...
(one of these went home with me)
Kevin enjoyed one of these in the cafe
I'm definitely going to try this one some time
And on the way home we saw a garage sale sign and decide to have a gander...
We found a small table saw for Kevin. There goes my back-up idea for his Christmas gift this year. Oh well. $25 was a pretty good deal.
Kevin has been putting in a lot of volunteer hours building a cabinet for a new large screen TV that was donated by the school's PTO to display student art work, and other school items...it will be like an electronic bulletin board. One of the school custodians has also been putting in several volunteer hours on this project. Now it is just waiting for the head of maintenance to come install the electrical outlet so the TV can be plugged in.
putting on some finishing touches
The TV will set just to the left of Kevin. He also built in a cork bulletin board and painted it black. We are both so thankful that this project is done. He has worked very hard to get this done in time for the school's carnival tonight and he's ready for a break.

Grandpa-I did my very first work of art yesterday. Mommy gave me these things called crayons, and let me draw on a piece of paper. I don't know how to draw so i just kind of tapped the crayons over and over on the paper. Mommy says that you will get my 2nd work of art in the mail some day when I do my second work of art. Can you display it at school in your new display case? Ok, I have to go now. It's 11:39 at night, and I'm supposed to be in bed. Don't tell Mommy and Daddy that I magically climbed out of my crib, opened my door, and climbed up into the desk chair. I might get in biiiigggg trouble.
Love you Grandpa!

Dear Renae: Grandpa would love to see your latest artwork:)and I am sure I have a place for it near my desk at school...someday you will have to come see it as I will leave it up for a very long time. Be careful climbing on the chairs, Mommies just don't understand that chairs are perfect for climbing! love, Grandpa
Hi Penni and Kevin!
Those pastries looks exactly like what we buy here! (And with the current exchange rate, you're paying just barely more than we do!)
The French looks great. (There should be an 's' on the end of amandes, but even we had to check on that.)
Thanks for the updates!
