It has been a long grey winter. Still, I'm happy that I had the chance to see Paris blanketed in snow.

I had walked from our house near Place Victor Hugo past Trocadero to the Eiffel Tower, down along quai Branly, across the Alexandre III bridge and down along the river to Place de la Concorde and on into the gardens. Was wearing new boots and I knew I had better get home before I couldn't walk anymore! It was the most beautiful walk. An absolutely perfect Sunday in Paris, snowing the whole time. I miss the snow! : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053563546908229556.post-66123153339784504492013-03-02T16:37:34.541+01:002013-03-02T16:37:34.541+01:00I look forward to sampling this fragrance when we ...I look forward to sampling this fragrance when we visit this month! There is a little skit that is performed almost every year by Army wives around the world centered on the LBD, I got to star in one around 1996.

Black dress, black tights, black shoes. FInished!<br /><br />I got the invitation through My Little Paris. They sent an email to all of their readers that we could call for a chance to go to this event. I started calling immediately but all the lines were busy. By the time that I finally got someone on the phone, the invitations were all taken. I expressed my regret and they said they would contact me if there was an extra invitation. Much to my surprise and delight, they called on Tuesday to tell me that I could go!Mary Kay Bossharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790841060667671034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053563546908229556.post-86941769236366373062013-03-02T10:45:09.063+01:002013-03-02T10:45:09.063+01:00Thanks for leaving a comment!

Did you take refuge in a cafe afterwards? If so, we may have been seated at the table next to you! I hope that we bump into each other sometime in the 16th.
