For Janeen

 Cherry Blossom Birthday : Divonne-les-Bains, FR

Today is my sister's birthday. She likes Thomas Jefferson, Joan Jett, and cherry blossoms--hence the photo of cherry blossoms as seen around Lake Divonne the other evening. Janeen also likes a new coloring book and crayons, is a huge fan of the Twilight series and Harry Potter, and works with the youth in her church in Virginia. She's wise beyond her years, wicked funny, and one of the most well-read people I know. Janeen is one of my very best friends and I'm excited to see her in a few weeks!

Happy Birthday, Janeen!

Arc d'Triomphe

Janeen and Janet at the Arc d'Triomphe : Paris, FR

This is a picture of me and Janeen at the Arc d'Triomphe after our visit to Sainte-Chapelle. While we were at Napolean's grand monument, there was a wreath laying ceremony at the Eternal Flame. Here's a bit of trivia for you: when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Mrs. Kennedy--remembering the Eternal Flame over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc d'Triomphe--requested a similar flame over her husband's grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

Friends

Janeen and Janet Kincaid : Bergheim, FR

Today, my sister and I are off to Paris, the City of Lights. This is a photo my friend, Diana, took of us last weekend in Bergheim. In the background with the two dogs is Diana's husband, Scott. Don't be fooled by the time on the clock tower. Di took this around 3:30 in the afternoon. The clock in the tower is busted and permanently fixed at noon!
