Today we eagerly await the festivities celebrating Bastille Day. Therese and Lewis joined Paul in his truck to head down to the lake to prepare for the evening’s festivities. Poor Sydney had to remain behind as they had no room in the van for him (nor could he provide an extra set of hands).
Minjie and Kim put up shelves in the rooms they cleared out last Friday; while Linda, back from her “extended” weekend, resumed her work on LG’s webpage design.
Lunch was our typical menu. We were missing Therese, however, who stayed to have lunch with some of her new Brossac friends.
No one had dinner duty this evening, as we had been invited to eat down at the lake. Minjie, Lewis, and I went down a little early with Paul for “les appertifs.”
We sat down to eat around 9 o’clock. We had a very satisfying dinner coupled with great (French) conversation.
The fireworks started at 11:00. We all enjoyed the spectacular display.
After the fireworks the dancing began. While we were tempted to show off our dance moves, we decided to skip the after-party and head back to the house. That is, everyone except Therese, who, despite working all day, stayed behind to help Paul serve drinks to the people of Brossac. (The small town of Brossac had me fooled. They really know how to have some fun!)
