He's Home!

My guy got home late Saturday night.  Tired, a little haggard but happy to be home after the long trip.  He had a great, busy month with jobs to do and travel to the Czech Republic.  He drove over 5,500 km in the 28 days he was there.
Here's V. at a café in our little town
I got my garnet earrings and a number of small antique pieces to make jewelry.  What's more, my Le Jacquard Français tea towels have arrived!  I order them and have them delivered to our home in France and save a bundle.

Mostly, I'm just happy V.'s back.  Believe it or not, after he's been away a month, I have to get used to his presence in bed again.  He generates a lot of heat and when he turns over the whole bed bounces! O.k., that may be TMI...

I thought I'd share some of my French/Czech treasures today:
