As someone who always works at home full-time I got in the habit of eating Mostly frozen processed food (Yes and I live in France!). Shame on moi. I went cold turkey and havent looked back. In a week I felt 100% better. Shocking. And now I'm losing albeit slowly amd cravings are gone. A red pepper is sweeter than an eclair. I'll post on it soon.<br />Bon Chance 😄Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-12250745566395938502020-03-25T10:41:46.572-04:002020-03-25T10:41:46.572-04:00Chere Carol,

The first photo is reminiscent of a painting by an old master - such a beautiful tone. The last time I was in Paris was 2016. I had been there many years before, but it had always been a lifetime dream for my childhood friend and I to go together. We are now senior citizens, but met when we were 5 years old and lived down the street from each other in Iowa. We kept our friendship blooming over the 40+ years I lived in San Francisco. I had been hospitalized a few weeks previous to departure and was very worried we'd have to cancel. But I was determined and we had a wonderful trip. Upon retirement 3 years ago I moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York to be with my sisters. But my friend in Iowa and I are still connected by our hearts and our memories of Paris.Jean Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-59495080773426162962020-03-24T11:01:49.513-04:002020-03-24T11:01:49.513-04:00I opened Letters from Paris first when I looked at...I opened Letters from Paris first when I looked at my email this morning. I live in Eldorado, a small enclave just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. I've visited Paris many times and I love your beautiful city, especially les isles. I have always enjoyed your newsletters and paintings but now it has a special poignancy for me. I know Paris and its boulangerie and ponts over the Seine. It seems unreal that the very same things we are going thru here, you are going thru there. And all over the world of course.<br />Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-67652114918423317112020-03-24T10:58:16.323-04:002020-03-24T10:58:16.323-04:00Thanks I hope so too KathleenThanks I hope so too KathleenParisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-67135338009255439622020-03-24T10:57:48.209-04:002020-03-24T10:57:48.209-04:00Good to hear how you are doing and what life is li...Good to hear how you are doing and what life is like in Paris now.<br />Hope to meet you someday soon.<br />Kathleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-13320007644490260322020-03-23T14:09:29.192-04:002020-03-23T14:09:29.192-04:0030 miles for fresh food!

While I deeply regret the reason why there are not many people on those streets at that time of morning, I have to admit that there is something quite wonderful about the absence of teeming masses of tourists in your photographs. Here, the main people I've seen on our street (which is usually full of walkers on a beautiful Sunday afternoon like today) are walking their dog/s (and maintaining the recommended 2-meter social distance from other humans).

U.S. infectious disease authorities have made clear that while masks that are not N94s do not, without a face shield, provide complete protection, non-N94 masks, with glasses, provided some protection and that that is better than nothing. Lacking any masks, my husband and I are wearing double-layered thick cotton bandanas around our noses and mouths (tied at the back of our heads) and big glasses or ski goggles whenever we go where social distancing may not occur.
