Paris!

Memories of the past weekend in Paris with Lauri….

Going for a a run, crossing a bridge over the Seine and finding ourselves running under the Eiffel tower...day after day of 80 degree weather and pure sunshine.

Champagne at the ritz – dinners at Le Grand Colbert – L’atelier de Joel Roubochon – L’Hotel Costes – the flowers of Monet’s gardens at Giverny..hours of friendship and conversation– refueling my soul.

Mr. Martin. Lauri's dad, pointed out that this year, we celebrate 29 years of friendship.

I have tried for the past hour to put into words what 29 years of friendship feels like – and can only produce phrases that skim the surface. The depth of this gift is understood and shared. It is a mirror with which I can see myself - a mirror that has been witness to all of the experiences of the little 5 year olds in Mrs.Adritz class, through to this weekend in Paris..

To 29 more, Chips, mon amie de Monet.
