We got a message of congratulations over the weekend from WordPress, the company that hosts this blog. It said “Your stats are booming! Let’s Live in France is getting lots of traffic.” You were probably part of that frenzy, so thank you. It started when Bill posted on both the blog and Facebook that we were clearing out the basement with lots of things going to charity or the dumpster if they weren’t otherwise claimed. The response was overwhelming, so now there’s much less to give/throw away, but there’s still more….

Your stats are booming! Let’s Live in France is getting lots of traffic

Barb and Andi came by to claim their part of our treasures (thanks, you two) and stayed to play a few games of darts. We got to talking about this move to France and I mentioned that we’ve always felt lucky and that this was just one more example of that. Barb said that she’s often told the same thing about herself but while luck might be a factor, most of us have worked very hard to get where we are. She’s right, you know. We make our own luck. People do work a long time to achieve their goals and we consider ourselves fortunate to be where we are and able to turn a dream into reality.

A few hours after Barb and Andi left, Bill and I continued the darts. The photo is where I somehow landed one dart directly on top of another. Lucky shot or hard work? It was fun, whatever it was!
