Nov 2020

This year has been up and down for us - Our best friends here moved back to the UK and that's been a wrench. We've made some new friends. We're settling in. We had our kitchen remodeled but with Covid we're not having dinner parties.
Our visa's have been renewed moving us one year closer to 10 year cards. And as I posted in another thread we now have French driving licenses.
We got that 1200$ each which went towards the new kitchen.
We've been adopted by a cat - a cranky cat but still.

The US has a new President and we're breathing again!

And we're feeling extremely fortunate to live here. Had we stayed in the US our lives would be much different and much worse.
