Francoise took the picture before I could get in. Dave is drinking Champagne too, he has not had a Coor Light since Sept 10, OMG. Heinz let me sit on his lap and Auntie Francoise is going to take me for a walk before she goes home to Switzerland. We called Georg Jensen in Denmark, he was busy but spoke to us for a few minutes. Georg won't be here until Easter. Maybe he will bring a bunny.
This Blog is dedicated to the adventures of Dave, Alanea and Tiff the Yorkshire Terrier as they start a new life in France.

What a lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alanea made a great lunch. There was turkey, and lots of very tasty stuff to eat. I did not get turkey but I got cheese and some of that buche. They let me taste the Champagne.

Grande Marnier buche
How about that?? Dave went out and came home with that buche. Buche schmuche it looks like cake and I am going to get some because it is not chocolate. Francoise and Heinz from Switzerland came yesterday. They have the house next door and it took 7 or 9 hours for them to drive here in their new little red Citroen C1. They are coming for lunch and Alanea is busy cooking again. I am so hungry but Dave and I are locked up in the office room. I cannot understand why Alanea does not want my help in the kitchen.
Merry Christmas to all
To all of our familiy and friends, Merry Christmas from southern France where there is no snow but it is chilly. Dave & Alanea had a great dinner last night that Alanea planned and prepared. Smoked salmon on blinis with Creme Fraiche, 18 Oysters (which Dave shucked without incident), scallops and shrimp on lettuce with red rice from Provence a splash of balsamic and one or 2 glasses of Champagne (when Alanea reads this it will get edited so come back later). I got smoked salmon my fave.

This is Dave in rehab
Still nursing a stiff neck Dave manages a few degustays to loosen up. Wearing his Big Sur Marathon "T" he has promised to get strong in 2011. He should run the Medoc Marathon but who knows what would happen if he did. Water stations have Oysters and wine, yikes. I get water and a little Champagne after Alanea of course.
