Sweet France, the first day of summer holidays.
Half of France is on the road today, driving to the seaside, or the mountains, or somewhere to be. Somewhere to laugh, to rest, and enjoy the simple pleasures that soak the heart warming it in the winter months to come.
Bonnes Vacances mes Amis!
Douce, Provence

Love the photos and slide show, a holiday anywhere in France sounds lovely! Well it’s Independence Day here in the good old USA, and I must say, it’s meaning more to me all the time. Every year I lived in the UK I hung my flag from our cottage, and every year I had American tourists who spotted it stop in to say hello! My elderly neighbor, always dress to the nines, would bring me a huge bouquet of flowers and wish me a “Happy Independence Day.” I was proud of my country and they were so respectful and delighted to see my patriotism. We will have parades, fireworks and bar-b-ques all around our little piece of New England this weekend in celebration of the Freedom we still enjoy. God Bless America!

Whoops…sorry I missed by a day..Independence Day is tomorrow, but of course our band is playing for a big fireworks event celebration tonight so I was thinking it was today…silly me!! I just think of the whole weekend as July 4th!!

And here in the USA we celebrate Independence Day this whole weekend with fireworks, picnics in the park, beach or BBQ in the backyard. But we must all remember that freedom is not free.

Love your new slide show, especially the pink bicycle 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend.

love the fancy new slideshow…always coming up with something different to delight our senses. It’s Saturday morning…I’m off to dig in boxes at the garage sales….

It’s also the first day of the Tour de France which means not only watching cycling but also viewing 3 weeks of beautiful France from north to south.

Happy Holidays Corey. We are having a weekend of cookouts, long conversations, and watching the young ones play with their sparklers later in the evening. They will be competing with the lightening bug.
The neighbors kids are here from Conn., so it will be a fun evening of swimming and eating.
hugs…love you video. -

Hello Corey
My first visit to your blog and I love it.
Bonne Vacance to you!!!
My daughter lives in France and we all spent a wonderful holiday on the Cote d’Azur this time last year – Oh how I would love to be there now!
I’m in New Zealand too and it’s the middle of winter and freezing!!
Please do come and visit me when you get a minute and I will get out my prettiest teacups and make you very welcome! -
Sorry, me again!
Is your singer Charles Trenet? -
Sounds like Yves Montand? Non, Charles Trenet…I love his voice.

I think the video is beautifully-made !!! -
Such well-grounded images of Provence from Mother Earth. No need to take photos from flying machines unless you feel the need.
PS. Charles Trenet’s song “La Mer” is a classic often translated into English.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd_nopTFuZA
