D Day: Omaha Beach

In Normandy, France, where the United States lost 10,000 of our best and bravest soldiers, is a sobering reminder of the cost of freedom. 

Almost Ten Thousand!

Dear Imaginary Friends,

I have been writing this blog, for what it's worth, for 1.5 years, and I have now had almost ten thousand hits. (9896, to be exact)

I have readers in about one hundred countries. (I know!!!)

Who knew it would be popular? Certainly not me. My readers are not just American, but also French, German, Canadian, and many different tiny countries everywhere, as well as not so tiny countries such as Russia. I guess we have something in common: a love of family, art, travel and food!

SO here is a big thank you to all my many readers, and may you live long and prosper! All ten thousand of you!

Kind regards,

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie, resident of the global village

Quel glamour!

Fabulous Facade in Nice, France

One more reason why Nice is nice: Fabulous facades.

On top of that, it happens to be part of the French Riviera. Enough said, ne c'est pas?
