Sunday

Wow, I am tired..didn't sleep last night..not til 3AM got up at 7:45. We went to the store to get some things as we will be without car for a couple of days while it is repaired.
Michael and I went to collect rose hips for rose hip oil. It is supposed to be great for your skin, and very expensive..I know now why..took about an hour to get a half gallon collected and many sticks!!  then we went down to La Serpant, a town not far from here, where the purple figs are plentiful...came home and I finished off the making of the last of the grape jam,and made fig preserves..
The cool fall day gave way quickly to a very hot afternoon!! but it is cooling now and looking like rain.  I have a pan of root veggies roasting in the oven and pork chops to cook for dinner.
We went out to the orchard and got a 5 kilo bag of Canada Grey apples...yummmm..and finally got the stuff from home...just in time to go back..ha ha
It sure is nice to have my good knives for cooking and the measuring cups and such with dual measuring. I have to do a lot of guessing when I am cooking..can't read the labels..if I ever get a handle on this language I am going to write a book about shopping in France and reading lables... who knew that a cuillere a soupe is a tablespoon?? a cuillere a cafe is a teaspoon...oh well, we are all thriving so no worse for the wear!  next Sunday at this time we will probably be stopping for the evening on the way to Italy...see you all soon...
