The City of Lights is like a beacon calling to me, seeing the Eiffel Tower at night, there is no way words can describe the emotions of that first sighting, when those Sparkling lights come on....
It brings out the inner child, squeals of delight coming from my mouth!!
The view in the daylight is stunning, kind of like a sterling silver bracelet, sparkling in the sunlight...
I had to pinch myself to make me realize this is true, you are HERE at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, a Dream come true!!!
It is surreal to say the least........amazing more like it!! Paris is indeed more of a World of it's own kind of place..to much to be just a CITY!!

I followed on FB of course, and I was just amazed at your gorgeous photos.
Going to be hot and muggy here today..(like 90's) but my son and dil had nice weather when they got here.
Hugs friend,

More like a world sounds just about the best description I've heard so far. I've never been, but am sure dreaming about it along with Anita's traveling companions.
Thank you for sharing.
Much love,

Hello Dearest Jamie
omg...I cant believe it! We found each other again!...I too am doing the happy dance! I am so sorry I lost touch with you. Life got very hard and I had nothing happy to say on my blog, so I did the unthinkable and deleted my them... Thank the Lord, I downloaded them first...so not all was lost,but my followers and all their cherished comments are gone.
I am so happy..you've been to Paris and London! I remember how much you wanted that.
And, who is that sweet little fellah with you and Chuck and Miss C? Congrats he's beautiful!!!
My daughter has also blessed me with another grandson,#4.
You are right,so much to catch up on, till next time my dear...Thank you thank, you for dropping by...how ever did you find me? I am glad you did:)))
Love Tracy Grace
Such a delightful post, Mimi! And you are absolutely right, Paris brings out the inner child...My Paris post is ready now; sorry for being late and misleading some of the readers with my French breakfast post.
Delighted to have met you through Anita's Paris celebration!
Lovely post and beautiful photos! It's wonderful to meet new bloggers via Anita's parisian soiree with the same passion for Paris.
Wishing you a lovely weekend! xoxo, B
Bonjour Mimi!
So nice to meet another Francophile!! Yes, like you, I love Paris, and try to go there at least twice a year. Your pictures capture all the flavor of why we all love it!
So glad you could join in Anita's paris Party!
AmitiƩs!,

Hi Mimi, Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! We have several things in common ~ This year we too are celebrating 36 years of marriage, so you were a 'bicentennial' wedding couple too?!?
Violet was also MY grandmothers name! She died when my father was young, so I never knew her. When our 2nd grandchild was born, a girl, my daughter surprised me as I was holding that precious one for the first time and told me Violet was her middle name. I cried! {of course the only time she hears her middle name is when she is in trouble!!! When I am with them, my daughter turns to me and says, "Sorry Mom" ~ since I pointed this out to her one time!
LOL!!!} "First Name, Middle Name, Last Name" Stop that right now!!!"
She has 3 young children and another due in September, and that will make 2 boys and 2 girls, and those kids are the sunshine of my life! You know how before you have grandkids you hear others talk about theirs all the time and you feel like rolling your eyes?
Well, I've become one of 'them' now too! Te-heeeeeee!!!!
Okay, I am going to go peruse more of your blog now, I rushed the first time with so many Paris posts to visit! I am still not done, hasn't this been quite delightful?!?
~ Violet
What a wonderful trip! Cherish the memories until you go back :D
i love your view of paris and poetic descriptions. you have such a gorgeous place here! and yes i agree this party is fun fun fun!!! :) and it will continue, because i shall visit you again xx
There is a little Paris in all of us.. thanks to Anita for bringing us to the city.
"PARIS is not a city, it is a World!!!"
You are so right - it overloads the senses and makes a lasting impression. I am glad you enjoyed it so much!
Thanks for visiting with me. I love meeting new blog friend!

Bonjour Mimi,
I enjoyed seeing your wonderful photos and meeting you. I was the same had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming as it was always a wish of mine to go and visit France.
Hugs

I love the picture of the Eifell Tower all lit up - how beautiful! You must have had such a special time on your trip. I haven't been there yet, but one can dream. It's so nice to meet new friends. Have a sweet day.

Oh Mimi,
I also wanted to thank you for telling Nel about the Art des...Bridge. That sounds like something she would love to do, especially for a honeymoon. I appreciate your suggestion.
