Cassis at Sunset, and Maggie’s Hospital View

Cassis at Sunset

 

The advantage of living close to the seaside… I will never grow tired of this view. Never. You know the saying, "If I had a nickel for every time I ________ I would be rich."? Well I am rich because the penny is seeing this view often.

Cassis, Route de Crete.

The road alone is worth the drive, well unless there is a crazy speed demon coming up alongside of you. I have dropped a few swear words off the cliff when someone has passed by too close.

The end of the day, sunset in Cassis. A quick drive just to see catch its last rays, then we went to visit Maggie in the hospital.

"Gee!" I said to Maggie, "Talk about a room with a view! I don't know if it is worth have surgery for it, but man do I like being the visitor!"

Spring is in the air. Little flowers blooming with the rosemary along the Route de Crete in Cassis.

Thanks for your well wishes for Maggie xx

  1. She”a still in the hospital? Wow! My son had his appended out-surgery at 6:30 pm and discharge at 7am! They may well now do it as a drive through;)

    Nope, it’s not worth being in the hospital for. But as long Maggie has to be in the hospital, at least it’s a wee consolation.

  3. Sweet get well blessing to your friend, Maggie. You are so right, what a fabulous view. I just love seeing France through your eyes, Corey.

  4. Quite the lovely views. The road near Cassis reminds me of Highway 101. What are the meals like in French hospital? Probably a lot better than our local U.S hospital! When will Maggie make bail and get out of the hospital?

  5. Each and every photo is a gorgeous view.
    I remember in December I was in the hospital and woke in the morning to the sun rising behind Mt. Hood. The nurse turned my bed so I could watch it better. It does a heart good even from a hospital bed.

  6. Corey – just curious – is the hospital in Cassis?

  7. Madame in Bangkol

    I missed Provence at spring time

  8. Beautiful scenery and hugs for Maggie
    Love all you share

  9. Oh WOW. Just wow.
    There have been studies, and patients recover better when they have a view of the natural world — sky, trees — out of their hospital windows, than if the curtains are closed or if the view is of a brick wall.
    With a view like this, Maggie will be getting better in no time!
    With emergency appendectomies, you might stay in the hospital longer — especially if the appendix has burst. And in Europe, they generally keep patients longer than in the U.S. or Canada to make sure they are well on their way to healing.
    I would love to hear Maggie’s take on the difference in health care systems after her experience is over if she would care to share.
    Thank you so much for sharing these amazing pictures with us Corey. All the best to Maggie.

  10. Thanks to all you kind-hearted people for your wishes and good cheer. My stay ended today, but I think they would have kept me two more days, but were sensitive to our insurance which doesn’t cover all of it. I am eternally grateful, indebted to Yann and Corey the most loving people in the universe. Yann came and got me near midnight and stayed half the night in the hospital in Aubagne. It was so helpful to get all the translation—my French at the moment doesn’t go beyond bad conversational.
    There are many differences in our health systems, but leave it to say, the very fine surgeons and their “team”,the nurses and those who took care of me were excellent. I’ve never seen so many good-looking docs and nurses of both sexes! Fun.

    Wonderful! So happy with the great outcome! Bravo! to Yann and Corey!
