Paris Cyclamen Plant

Photo: Paris Cyclamen Plant

 Yesterday was a day filled with so much to comprehend,

(world news)

I HAD to take time out for a few breaks during the day.

I am cleaning out the photo files on the lap top.

and the photo above was in a Europe file...

It has a funny story.

Three years ago we rented a sweet apartment 

very near the UNESCO campus in Paris.

I love that part of town very much.

It is warm, cozy and the people are kind.

The apartment was furnished, 

and had a gigantic TV in the sitting room, 

sitting on a low table on a TV stand.

I broke the TV, knocking  it off the table and shattering it to bits.

Larry said that he must go to the appliance store and buy a new TV.

In Paris, an appliance store? That still makes me laugh.

It was MY fault and I felt so bad about it.

So....

Larry went to the appliance store and bought a new TV.

He had to flag a taxi down , 

figure out how to load up the new TV into the taxi. 

(Larry is amazing. The year before, he had to install

 new cable/internet in the Paris apartment.) 

I did feel so bad about the TV....

But Larry understood my feelings

and brought home a cyclamen plant to cheer me up.

Sometimes we talk about the Paris TV breaking...and smile.

(Imagine Larry carrying a flat screen TV 

through the streets of Paris. It was classic)

Love you beyond the moon.
