France Trip-Molsheim

A short drive took us to Molsheim, the cradle of Bugatti cars. The trade name was created by Ettore Bugatti in the early 1900s. Most renowned are the racing cars  that scored over a thousand victories between 1924-1939 during Grand Prix racing, and the luxury car, Royale, that had only six built in 1930. Today the name is owned by Volkswagen.This is the Metzig (1583) or great butcher's shop dominating the central square with its double stairway and clock figures.This is the second stop where we find a carousel. Beautiful persepctives along the way...Behind us you can see the Blacksmith's Gate (14th century) a vestige of the Mediaeval town walls.We arrived back at our hotel Best Western Europe and Ksenia made several tries with everyone's directions to back the car into the tiny space. She was successful!

That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I r...

I would say we ate well when we were with Justin in Hawaii in May/June! Yea, I know, Coffee isn't a meal. But coffee is a good way to start the day! Enjoyed a beer from time to time. Red wine is good with a meal too. But mostly we have water with meals; Will likes a squirt of sweet lemon in his.

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.
