My evening pickpocket

I had an eventful metro ride tonight.  As I was getting on the train with Dan, Martin and John-Nathan, people started pushing us from behind to get on the train.  Nothing strange for Paris.  I felt someone unzip my purse and it suddenly got lighter! I turned around and before I knew it started, yelling at this teen age girl.  She had my billfold under her sweater that was hanging over her arm.  The two girls and one guy with her, hopped off the train when she grabbed my billfold and she hopped off when I started screaming and the train pulled away.

Waiting for the train

We are celebrating Timothé's birthday tonight. Grill at his folks' house.

Laughing. Loving

I am thrilled to announce that the wedding went so well. It rained so all the photos were taken indoors. Gabrielle was gorgeous and Auguste was gallant. Photos to come

Lydia and Timothé announced the arrival of a new lil Pfister for March. Life is rolling on fast!!

We are enjoying our nieces and nephew. We're playing the tourist this week. Today was Eiffel Tower and the Rodin Garden.

Isaac shouted from the other side of the flowers, "Mom come take a picture!" I'm glad I did.

Searching for this handbag.

I'm looking for this handbag.  I love it but not the price.  327€.  I don't think so.

A funky color besides black would be ok, but not green. Red/bordeaux is good.  Navy would be sweet too.

I do have a birthday coming up in September.

Why am I a handbag junkie?

Today's Topic: God's will is joy!

Author: Jerry Savelle

Verse(s): Philippians 4:4

Devotional: Do you have the joy? There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:  but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that  ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 The problem with most of us is that we get tunnel-visioned;  so focused on the trials, that we quit looking for a way out.  All we do is talk about the trial. We need to do exactly what God says . REJOICE! Why does He want us to rejoice? The joy of the Lord is our strength!  If you don’t have joy, you won’t have strength. Joy comes from the Word. You have to read the Word constantly  to have joy. You may sleep and slumber, but the devil won’t.  The moment you open your eyes, he’ll say, “You’re not going to make it.  This trial is too much for you!” But the devil doesn’t have any defense against joy. Let me tell you what it means to rejoice. One meaning of the Hebrew  word rejoice is “to brighten up.” Put a big smile on your face.  Another meaning is “to spin around.” A third meaning is “to leap.”  So, the next time you’re in a trial, here’s the way you’re going to respond:  smile, spin and leap!! Today’s Scripture Meditation Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4 Be ye doers of the Word… I refuse to be controlled by my feelings. I choose  to rejoice in the Lord today. I choose to be joyful and make a joyful noise.  I choose to give praise to my Lord and Savior.

Summer is almost here...vacation that is...

My plans for the summer are:

-prepare for company coming from the States
- marry off daughter numero uno.  This has been a stress free wedding so far
-sightsee Paris with our guests
-collapse afterwards
-get our 3 youngest ready for camp the 1st of August
-during the time they are at camp, I'll have some quiet time

Almost summer vacation

I can handle this forecast. The week ahead looks full. Dan is in Israel til Friday. Do not ask about this. It's a sanctification thing for me.

I have to enroll J-N in high school. The high school sent the papers late and his present school did not give him his latest report card so I already have a missing element for the meeting tomorrow. I love it.

Our dog is turning into a real baby. Two nights in a row I woke to Thaé's whining and the hall light on. Then on the third night Isaac experienced the same thing. Now I knew I wasn't nuts. The crazy dog can turn on the light. He even tries to open Isaac's door. He probably could if we had a handle type door knob.

I'm moving his bed to the living room while Dan is gone so I can hold his paw if he whines.
