Red please!

Good evening all. Today is our 28th wedding anniversary. We have spent the day 460 miles heading north to Reims which is the heart of the Champagne region of France.

We are staying in the “Best Hotel Reims Est” - a glamorous establishment (think motel) in an industrial estate. [emoji23] We had dinner in a passable Italian restaurant next to the hypermarket - the Oriental restaurant looked dodgy and we didn’t fancy McDonalds :D

Tomorrow we head for Calais and then home :)
Happy Anniversary!

Good morning all. 08:30 in Reims and you can tell we are much further north. It’s just 7C/45F outside right now. Brrrrrr!

The sun is out though so hopefully it will warm up. Son is feeling sorry for himself. It looks like he has tonsillitis :(

What a fun way to celebrate your anniversary! :eek: [emoji23] Have a safe trip home, and happy 28 years together! I’ll raise my glass of red (also) for many more happy years to come! [emoji173]️

:( Hope he’s better soon! 7C is quite low.

Wishing everyone a Splendid Sunday! It’s a quiet day for me after total madness between Thursday and now.

I‘m in need of some collective wisdom, roommates! I signed up daughter for private piano lessons. However, we don’t have a piano at home (and we’ll probably be moving out next summer), so I need to find some place she can practice between lessons. Any ideas? :confused:

Looks like it might rain. Is that a problem when you’re paddling?

Rain is ok, sometimes actually nice - as long as the wind isnt strong. Higher winds = more choppy water and waves and white caps.

We never did get rained on, in fact by the end of our paddle, we has blue skies and sun.

Has to be an online APP for piano practise or the local church?

How about a used keyboard on a stand?

Happy Sunday!!

We have been so busy around here!!
Lots of home improvement projects going on at once because my husband doesn’t procrastinate.

Just finished up painting the new fireplace walls.
Then he started cleaning the garage so he could install metal shelving that we disassembled and put back up!
Cleared out office to paint this morning and add baseboards.
Adding baseboards to daughter’s new room.
Designed a walk in closet which took hours!! Just ordered the cupboards and rods yesterday so waiting 4 weeks. We are installing it ourselves.

We took our older girls out to dinner for their 29th birthday.

Oh, we had scare yesterday! I woke my son up at 10:30 to help us in the garage and the first thing he helped me move I noticed his face was white as a ghost and so were his lips. Then he started shaking and stared in space. He thought he was looking at me but his eyes weren’t. My husband grabbed him and I called 911.
He is fine now and his vitals were ok and his blood sugar was good.

We don’t know what happened but I’m taking him to his Dr this week for blood work.
We were so scared!
The first thing I asked him was if he took drugs. He doesn’t do them but he is a teen so it was my first thought and wanted to let the EMT know so they knew how to treat him.

I aged like 10yrs yesterday!!

An electric keyboard is better than nothing. Will the school let her use a piano at playtime?
