Blessed

Merci beaucoup!

Linda and I are so very appreciative of being invited as guest into your lovely home. Thank you for sharing your family with us.  We are honored to be a part of your recent life and family. Although the skies of Normandy are often cloudy and full of rain, our memories are full of sunshine and joy!  And as the youngest family member often sings "alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, amen", it gives voice to what we feel in our hearts.

Our travel to the Normandy region of France would not have taken place without your kind invitation.  We cherish the experiences shared in your home and community.  And although the Bishop was soundly critical of our language skills, he is right in pointing out our need for improvement.  Inshallah!

The trip home took much longer than planned.  We had a very bumpy landing in Minneapolis due to severe winds.  The severe winds across the country shut down many airports.  Minneapolis' airport had only one runway open.  We were lucky, we were delayed only 6 hours before being allowed to fly home.  Friends flying home from Brussels had to spend the night in Chicago.  We arrived home at 11 p.m., our time, and about 5 a.m. Paris time. 

Thank you for your generosity and friendship.  We are truly blessed! 

Kind regards to you and family,

Marcus & Linda

P.S. The meals at the Chez were  "magnifique!  Mes compliments au chef de cuisine!"

Merci beaucoup!!
