The Sunday Salon: What I Did to Celebrate Paris in July This Year

     



Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 




Yes, as I mentioned last week, I am off to Big Sandy to chicken-sit. (You have to say that phrase very carefully.) These are two of the lovelies I am apparently going to be caring for; there are 198 more, I've been told. 

Chicken advice is welcomed. 









All good things must come to an end...
