Sitting around the Breakfast Table

cafe chairs in France 

Sitting around the breakfast table making plans for the day. Which brocante to go to? How many can we squeeze into a day? Can the car hold another armoire? Who gets to sit in front seat of the car this time, and why are we waking up so early? By the way the one who is suppose to be the hostess says, "Who wants a coffee?" (The problem is the hostess hates coffee, so it tastes awful bad.)

Sitting around the breakfast table four blonds and one French Husband…. he smiles and listens to the girls talk and in his eyes I can see he is thinking, these blonds or I should say three of them are nuts.

    I didn’t realize that FH was in the entourage. I hope that he is not becoming the pack mule. Everyone carries their own treasures.

    I bet he’s sitting there and maybe playing the service groom but his mind is flying “Higher, Further, Stronger”… OR thinking of a new serial : “FH’s Devils”!

    Sounds like a good idea for a PBS comedy show.

    You’re making me miss Paris! I was there twice this year and seeing this cafe shot made me want to cry. You girls keep having fun. Blonde, brunette or otherwise!

    Your post cracked me up! FH must be loving every minute with the 4 blondes. I wish I was there too. But I got my “fix” at the Alameda Flea Market Sunday. No, it is not France, but still……Husband went too and even carried my purchases! It helps to have a cart! Have fun. –Delores

    If I can’t go to the French brocante, the next best thing is having pieces sent to me. Thank you Corey, what a fun idea. I wish you much success in your new busuness venture. I’m enjoying my little package.

    At least he did not think there were 4 nutty blonds. Coffee at a café is part of la belle vie de France. So even if you brewed a superb cup, the café-café is what would be remembered.

    You’re killing me! I want to join you so much. I could be blond… I could get up early… I could wrestle found objects from the competition… I could drink bad coffee and make it too! Can I please be you for the day????
