The Latin Mass is at St. Patrick's at 10:30AM. NDV has been my parish church for over 30 years! It is a beautiful little church, and the French community is still prevalent there as it is the French National Church in SF. ;-)tonton_flaneurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071868284684917894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-67934638468660022082008-04-06T23:54:00.000+02:002008-04-06T23:54:00.000+02:00Whaa amazing view Eric.You wouldn't have been able...Whaa amazing view Eric.<BR/>You wouldn't have been able to take this picture today: it was snowing and the sky was totally white...<BR/>No snow during winter but snow in the first days of spring.

I hold them close to my heart. I use to see that sunset when going home in the evening and I would say to my daughter, "Look honey, the sky is on fire". It is caused by tiny particles of metal in the air coming from the exhaust of cars. The tiny pieces of metal act as mirrors reflecting the sun.<BR/><BR/>Qwuadzkhi: We have a Notre Dame des Victoires here in San Francisco.

Someone told me that she posed nude for many of the great painters in Paris when she was young.

It's today!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I hope all goes well when the Olympic torch reaches Paris, it's been hectic today in London, many many protestors against China hosting the games in view of the current troubles re: Tibet. One attempted to wrestle the torch from the carrier's hand. Many were floored roughly by police. I think their voice will be heard in Paris too? You have many more demonstrations than we do in London so i wait to see what will happen. Peaceful i hope.Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-82558642197718454562008-04-06T19:38:00.000+02:002008-04-06T19:38:00.000+02:00Happy Birthday Lynn!Happy Birthday Lynn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-24343840544692479022008-04-06T19:33:00.000+02:002008-04-06T19:33:00.000+02:00LYNN: when was your birthday?? hey.. happy birhtd...<B><I> LYNN: </B></I> when was your birthday?? <BR/>hey.. happy birhtday gurl!! mwauh!!Qwaudzkhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209351372492773481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-5468707571285805782008-04-06T19:32:00.000+02:002008-04-06T19:32:00.000+02:00oo.. nice.. nice.. why is it called notre-dame?<B>oo.. nice.. nice.. why is it called notre-dame? </B>Qwaudzkhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12209351372492773481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-67107963501424173072008-04-06T18:22:00.000+02:002008-04-06T18:22:00.000+02:00Hey girls guess what?
