The whole (european) Odom and Puydupin families. 

This is Danielle, Lisa, and Beatrice. We ate at Danielle's house on Sunday afternoon. It was very good. She also made us cheese sandwhices and tartines for the road, which were also very good. 

This is Sarah, Lisa, and Me (or I).
 

This is Sarah and Doudou at the Kebab restaurant we ate at. Lisa and Sarah fashioned some jewelry for Doudou from a napkin or serviette.
 

TouTou is a bad dog. 

This is the funniest book I have ever read for reasons that will become clear in following posts. Let's just say that Toutou does everything. Lisa also got Sarah a Dr. Seuss book in english (the ABC book, big A little a what begins with a) book.
 

This is Sarah in her new jacket. It is very nice and she looks very cute in it.
 

This is our future friend (Candice Puydupin) inside of our current friend (Beatrice Puydupin).

My entree at the furniture store (Mobel Martin for the curious).
