Historic houses,yes!
We were in France ...Curry, no.<br />Historic houses,yes!<br />We were in France two months ago and toured Claude Monet's home, the famous artist of the bridge above water lilies and such. The gardens still look exactly like he painted them. The house was full of beautiful colors of nature inside. So glad history gets preserved so it comes alive that way.

I loved to see the rooms, the furniture and pictures on the walls while my DH admired the woodwork ( he was a carpenter all his working days).Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-69189367752529154062017-11-15T19:27:30.490-05:002017-11-15T19:27:30.490-05:00I'm not big on curry either.

We went through a different time at a much more relaxed pace. A different guide made all the difference. <br /><br />I had quite forgotten about touring her house when I answered the question about historical homes this morning.A Joyful Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647481484192797931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-54402631006010397892017-11-15T11:52:38.477-05:002017-11-15T11:52:38.477-05:00I too, like the convenience of paying bills online...I too, like the convenience of paying bills online.A Joyful Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647481484192797931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-10197310438353665862017-11-15T11:43:08.903-05:002017-11-15T11:43:08.903-05:00We don't use a lot of checks either.

We do write one for church, but they also have a PayPal account.<br /><br />We've visited Biltmore and Mount Vernon, but some of the others are too far away. We went to see Monticello but there was an hour wait to get on the bus to the house, and others have told us it's a lock-step when you get Lady Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608765381189723792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-19338066321946516972017-11-15T08:20:14.815-05:002017-11-15T08:20:14.815-05:00Paying bills online is my preferred method.

I don't like hearing women speak bad of their husbands, either. I don't know if it's just the women or the husbands are really bad but whatever the case is I think this is something best left to talk over with your Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-39974435144792821082017-11-15T08:08:38.550-05:002017-11-15T08:08:38.550-05:00Oh, writing checks - I didn't even think of th...Oh, writing checks - I didn't even think of that!!
