Just wanted to share with you that on my last trip to France we were in Haute Provence near the Sisteron autoroute entrance when I got out to take some photos of these wonderful larger than life concrete sheep sculptures that were "frolicking" in the rond point just off the autoroute caisse. Well I was wearing one of my favorite scarves--this gauzy kiwi green lacy embroidered thing and it was windy so without my knowing it, it blew off and I didn't catch it being missing until many kilometers down the route. I was heartbroken but my husband was sure we'd never see it again so we went on about our day. Next day, I sneakily planned to drive past that rondpoint again on the way back from Vaison La Romaine and miracle of miracles it was laying in the gutter soaking wet like green kleenex and full of asphalt pebbles but I found it! Back at the Auberge Charembeau in Forcalquier I washed it by hand with Linen Wash (truly a miracle cleaner) and it came out good as new. I never travel now without a mini bottle of it. So glad you were able to find your glasses on your return and I hope they were no worse for wear. <BR/>Happy Halloween! <BR/>I enjoy your photos and watercolors so much, keep up the good work. <BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-53355784738754136412008-10-31T00:38:00.000-04:002008-10-31T00:38:00.000-04:00Wait a second...The Eiffel Tower is blue?
