Today we visited Cormatin Castle. It was so pretty and amazing to see. The inside was very detailed and colorful. I was expecting a different style of desire so it was best to see a kind I had never really seen before. It's crazy to think that people liked like that. Servants, castles, motes, no electricity or plumbing, huge gardens. And then there were the peasants living in tiny shacks are starving. I guess it's exactly like today. Mansions, ten thousand dollar birthday parties for four year olds, nannies, private chefs. Well, anyway, my favorite part of the castle was the maze. I got lost in it once and it was so mysterious and pretty. We went to the cafe there and Ruby and I shared a pear and raspberry sherbet. It was delicious.
Now we just finished dinner. Hubert's daughter, son in law, and granddaughter and grandson are here so they joined us. They have the home right next to this one. It was so fun to eat with them, hear French, eat good food and enjoy the garden. The sky was a brilliant blue and there were lanterns with candles and chilly night air. I'm going to miss it here!!

HOLIDAYS

Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
