Matchmaking in France

                          Img_5027

Ah guess what?! Remember "The Matchmaking of Matthieu and Eva?"

Well, they are meeting up in France next week!

I am pea green envious… I wish I could be there to spy on their romance.

To think that they are going to see each other, nibble baguettes, sip wine, dance in the moonlight…etc. etc. and it is the etc. that gives this matchmaker’s mind and imagination something "happy" to smile about! (I bet you are going to miss the installments too?)

Can any of you go to France and spy on them for me?

Eva…are you reading…SEND PHOTOS!

    Listen Corey…
    I think it is high time that Chelsea stand in for her Mom at this point and assume the role of Matchmaker…2nd in command.
    She should follow them around and shoot the photos…and than email them to you 😉

    I was just thinking about those two yesterday and wondering when they were meeting up again! I hope you can get the scoop from someone and then share it with the rest of us, of course! 🙂
    I hope your father has a good day today and that the two of you can enjoy the memories you share. God’s blessings to you, Corey!

    I can imagine you are itching to know what is happening (as you rightly pointed out are all your dedicated blog readers who so enjoyed following the start of this adventure with you!!) Hey – I’ve had enough of work for now – I am sure I could be in France next week!! I’d make a very good spy – apart from the part about being quiet and hiding out – being quiet has never been my strong point :o)

    Corey,
    You are an incurable matchmaker…and I think you have the special gift to match the right people up…I look forward to hearing how the little get together goes for them…as I am sure you will find out… and post…after all you have a sweet daughter…who should be following in her mommy’s footsteps and get some good pictures.. or maybe French husband will snap a picture or two…just for you…

    Oh, no, I hadn’t forgotten and have thought of them several times in the last weeks. And when I do I think of you, dear Corey, and the song from Fiddler on the Roof plays in my head…”Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match; Find me a find, catch me a catch!”
    Everyday I think of you and your Father and send from my heart wishes for healing and recovery, and courage and strength.

    NOW Corey, I AM in France, and I’m ready to spy on them…
    Yes I can do the job !
    I can take pictures of baguettes, either nibbled or not, pictures of glasses of wine, either full or empty, pictures of a dance floor, with either plenty or only ONE couple dancing…
    Now where will you be?
    (No tapestries, no portraits… to stand behind).
    Under the table? behind the curtains? or the bar? …
    Maybe just by me, behind the camera …

    Corey,
    It is funny you should mention them. I was just thinking the other day that they are suppose to see each other this month. I will miss the installments but I am sure you will find a way to find out what is going on with them. I would love to be a spy for you.

    How wonderfully romantic and exciting. I do hope someone is able to ‘spy’ on them and keep us up to date. If I wasn’t on the other side of the world I would do it myself! Love and hugs.

    it is
    the little growth of a new romance,
    the tight, green buds on the old tree,
    the small, rediscovered found object
    held in the hand…
    these are the things
    that carries us
    through the hard,
    my-daddy-is-sick times.
    keep on
    with it all.
    🙂
    from over here,
    it seems
    you are doing splendidly
    and with grace,
    even if you did not notice…

    Well — guess what. I did a little matchmaking of my own back in December. And as unbelievable as it may sound… they hit it off BIG. (Usually my matchmaking comes to nothing.) Isn’t it wonderful to bring two people together who bring one another joy? I even got all weepy just thinking about it.

And, make sure you get out into the glorious sunshine we are having!! It will refresh your spirit. Drink it in for your Dad, get too hot in it, and then pop yourself a beer in his honor! 🙂

    This romance could definitely be a book or a movie – the whole part – with you and French husband starring. Wouldn’t that be fun??
    But not one of those real-life TV series – where you would match people up who meet through blogging – no – that would remove the bloom.
    Stick to the book or movie. OK? I’ll be first in line to buy or see it.
    keeping you in my heart with thoughts and prayers for your beloved father.
