First & fore most I want to sincerely thank all of you, my friends & loyal readers. I appreciate your kindness & your friendships. The Internet is an amazing place, opening our lives to embrace new found friends from around the world.

I am most appreciative of all the kind & encouraging comments left by so many of you as I left Boston. Each & everyone means so much to me.

Unfortunately, I have really encountered some serious Internet problems this year while in France.

The café where I normally find a connection is not working for me. It is not that it is not working, which is the frustrating part, only that it is not connecting for me & my iPad.

I have one friend whose wifi ( pronounced weefee here in France ) seems to work for me after changing codes & other settings. The photos I have taken here are of things I pass as I walk to her house & the entrance to her lovely garden below.

I can sit on her porch & connect to her wifi quite quickly. But as you can imagine, one does not want to become a nuisance or wear out one's welcome. Therefore, I really do not wish to spend too much time checking out the Internet, which means, after checking my emails & posting a blog entry or two, I have no time to look at all of your wonderful blogs.

I miss being able to visit you & finding out what each of you are up to, not to mention being able to leave comments for you. I apologize for this. My appreciation for the thoughtful comments that you have left for me is even greater under these unfortunate circumstances. So, merci beaucoup!

Love the walk along the lane to your friend's house. Your loss of internet is our gain.
ReplyDeletemaybe it is the right time to disconnect and a message for you to let the internet aside for a while ? :)
