Tempus Fugit


  1. Tempus fugit
    Phrase
  2. Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Vergil's Georgics, where it appears as FVGIT INREPARABILE TEMPVS: "it escapes, irretrievable time". Wikipedia
Time has flown for me!!!!

I have missed reading your blogs for two months. Wow, it seems like yesterday. I have been knee deep in home repairs, planning a trip, packing and ENJOYING the trip. Yes, my husband and I have been to France. It was a fabulous trip. When we returned our children were visiting from Texas and North Alabama. Loved having our family together again after a year. Now, I am trying to catch up. I have read a few blogs and left a few comments but haven't scratched the surface. Because I love to travel and I love to read about travel I want to share our trip on my blog sometime soon. Right now I am tired and life doesn't stop but I am so grateful for many opportunities. Life is wonderful and full. God has richly blessed me.
 Here are a few pics of our life last week.

Making cookies with Texas grands.



 The younger ones enjoyed a tea party when the older cousins arrived. It is hard to believe that Sophie, our adopted granddaughter is now ten. See her tea party a few years ago here.
 The chocolate came out of the tablecloth!!! Whew, I use that one a lot.
I learned a few things to do differently next time. LOL!

A beautiful fall day with glorious weather.

Beynac-Dordogne
Our trip included Paris, Burgundy, Dordogne and Bordeaux regions. We covered a lot of territory in twelve days.
Luxembourg Gardens, Paris

Chateau near St. Emilion. Captured this from a moving car so it is not as clear as I would like.


Chateau de La Rochepot near Beaune, France.

Stay tuned for posts on these areas. It was a marvelous experience.

    Welcome back, Bonnie!! I love your beautiful pictures of France and am looking forward to seeing more. :) Those little red-headed grandchildren are just precious -- all three children are precious. I think it's rather rare to see two siblings with red hair. My husband was a redhead, but not his brother. His brother has one redhead out of four children. I think red hair is so pretty!

    The outdoor tea is charming; I'm glad your tablecloth came clean. :) My MIL has that very same Beatrix Potter tea set; I've always thought it was so pretty. I'm glad you've had your whole family together again; you do have a full and blessed life, my friend. Have a wonderful week!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    It's always fun to go away,
    but also lovely to return,
    especially when you have
    cuties like that waiting to
    see you! Such sweet little
    faces and the "gingers"
    especially made me smile : )

    Welcome home!

    One of my favorite birthday parties for my daughter as she was growing up, was a tea party. I had all the girls who were invited wear their Sunday dresses and it was such a cute party. They got to take their tea cups home as a party favor. Looks like your grands had just as much fun! France looks marvelous. Can't wait to go myself. Thanks for sharing.

    Bonnie, what fun making goodies with your grands. They look so happy and the tea party is the cutest ever. Your trip to France is breathtaking. I could look at those pictures all day. France is a lovely place to visit. Have a fab weekend... I am on antibiotics, so I hope to feel better soon. xo
