Two Americans in Paris

I'm still here! We'd just started getting settled into the rhythm of the school year when hubby and I took off for Paris to celebrate our 20th(!) wedding anniversary. This picture was taken at the Chateau de Versailles:














Pretty much every picture we took we had the same comment "we look old!" Especially compared to this wedding day photo :



















We had a wonderfully relaxing time. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years! wow.

I had actually cooked some really good new recipes before we left but I ended up deleting the photos before uploading them. oops. I will have to take another stab at them. I will close with some dog photos instead :-) We are fortunate to live a very short walk away from a regional park that is over 5,000 acres - and allows dogs to be off leash. This is about 1/8 mile from my front door:













Bella and Renzo think it is their own personal space and can really tear up those hills:













Tired pooch - Bella:













Renzo:















Tomorrow I'm off to Berkeley Bowl to do a huge shopping trip. Then - back in the kitchen!

Are you kidding? You look like you've hardly aged a day! You're so beautiful. I hope when I'm your age I look as good as you do.

Very jealous that you just vacationed in Paris. Hope you had a great time. Would love to see more Paris pics!

Renzo and Bella are hysterical with their long tongues. What a great place you have right out your backdoor.

NANCY! Great to see you post; thank you for checkin' in and sharing some of your trip with us.

You look stunning, then and now, by the way!

Love love love the dog pix. SOooooOOOOOoooo excited and happy running and playing together. I love it. What a great park to have near you like that. I am lucky as well to have something that nice by me for Mattie to romp.

Can't wait to see you shop up a storm... do share!

There's nothing 'old' looking about you two. Nope, you look healthy, vibrant, happy - and adorable!

Now, Bella, on the other hand... lookin' a little ragged in that photo. :)

Hi Nancy. Here I am commenting on your blog a good 6 months after you stopped posting! I hope you read this anyway. I started blogging pretty much when you stopped, so we never had a chance to chat. I spent all day today going through your archives and reading your blog from the beginning- and loved it all. It made me nostalgic for my childhood spent in the Bay Area, and for California in general, it gave me tons of links and recipe ideas, and it made me wish you'd come back and start blogging again! Your food, your beautiful family, your cute dogs, your fruit trees, I want updates on them all! Plus, I've started trying to veganize as many Iranian recipes as possible and I find it inspiring that you've already done that to so many dishes! I am going to try your soy yogurt cheese as a kashk substitute.

Anyway, I hope you're well, and everything's well, and if you come back to blogland, stop by mine and say hi!

Cheers,
Bazu

Julie said...
