Phew BJ, I'm exhausted, too. But, I am making the rounds in Europe. I've been to Ireland with Jeanne, Italy with Holly, England with Heidi and now France with you.
Thank you for taking me with you to fantastic France. But, I ate so much that my pants are feeling snug.
BJ ...
That was the BEST trip to Paris I've ever had ... Well, I've never BEEN to Paris, but if I ever get to go, I'll want to do all those things you did on yours, especially the FLEA MARKETS! Can you imagine? I'd be like a kid in a candy store.
I loved your post ... and your pictures, especially the last one.
Sincerely,
Janie
bj....that was just so much fun.....where in the world did you find all those pictures?? i visit your blog everyday and i am never disappointed.....you are a precious soul....i always want to leave a note but i am always anonymous and you can't respond to my note .... so i feel like a "stranger"......anyway, always loved you on RMS and now i love your blog....you are just a joy to know......jennie in tn <><

I love taking trips with you! I never even got sick on the plane. ((hugs)) Rosie
Fantastic trip! We actually were in Paris 2 years ago, but only for 2 days and we didn't get to go to the Paris Flea Market...it was probably a good thing because we didn't have your suitcase full of cash...LOL. You prepared a wonderful virtual tour for us..great job! :-) Brown-Eyes

Hello, This is BJ's daughter. She doesn't want me to talk about these tings, but she is having a very serious surgery this afternoon. It's a big one, and she will be in the hospital for the next week or so. PLEASE PRAY for her to come through the surgery ok and that the surgery will work. I know she loves you all, and you love her too. Thank you!! Stacy
Oh BJ, Paris with my coffee was just what I needed this morning. That was so much nicer than the pile of paperwork and the side of homework on my desk that will be my adventure today!
Hugs,
Dena

BJ, I adored my trip to Paris with you. Thanks for taking me along.
God bless.
What a busy trip! I think I might have stayed in the flea market for days!
Whew, BJ, you need to slide over and give me a corner of that chair! After that wonderful trip to Paris, I'm plumb worn out! But it was just fabulous! This is Ashley's dream destination and wants to go for her HS grad gift...just the two of us! I wasn't that excited until after your post! Great post!
Hugs, Rhonda
I would love to visit there sometime. Thanks for the walk in France!
I saw the link to your blog over at Gollum's and how could I resist a midnight trip to Paris! I'm trying to decide if I like the pastries or the flea market better!
Thanks for letting me come along, Bridget
Wow Bj, what a wonderful trip! I'd be exhausted just getting ready for it! Paris is my dream vacation, too. Your photos and posts are always a delight. It's been a while since I've been by, took a vacation to California and been working on a new website. Got it done and it turned out great! Come on by for a visit. God Bless, Celene
BJ
I feel like I was there on your excursion--what a fun way to travel!
Oh my sweet BJ,
thank you for taking me to Paris, you made my biggest dream come true. I just adore Paris!
Love Suzy
I really enjoyed this post, in part because I really did go to Paris in 1999! It was a fantastic trip but far too short, and it was a dream that I never really expected to come true. I can't wait to go back, but if I do, I want to see the rest of Paris. I just about cried when I finally got to see the Louvre because I never thought I'd see it and because it made me think of my mother who would have been so happy to see my dream come true. It really is a magical city and so beautiful.

Just noticed the post from BJ's daughter. You will be in my prayers for a quick recovery!
