So just for kicks, here are a few visuals from our neighborhood - and dinner table - tonight. I thought it would be fun to share them with you before I practice the bass...bonne soirée mes amis!

And here's a street side shot of our hood...

And our twice daily destination avec notre chien Luciie...Parc Baldwin.
