Lucky you, I'd love to be taking a day trip to the French countryside. But lucky me, I'm off to a baseball game in 3 minutes to cheer my boy on (not too loudly - must NOT embarrass him in public) :0) How do you see the present crisis from your perspective? Do the locals hate our very guts like the media would have us believe?? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have a great safe trip. Linens?? Love the thought of some new beautiful linens - you must have a GREAT husband. :-)

Haha! My husband just doesn't know what he is getting into. It will be my eighth trip to Ribeauville and his first! The linen outlet is to die for. It has wonderful fabrics and tablecloths and other linens and it is that wonderful toile. The only area where I feel relatively safe in France is in the smaller villages of Alsace. There are more French people there instead of Algerians. Once last summer when I took my daughters to Alsace we stopped along the way to try to find a bathroom and there was a park with swimming pools and we discovered that it was some kind of Muslim retreat. That really scared me. They definitely did not like us and we didn't attempt to use their facilities.
