I'm so old....

Okay, so I am younger and new to the boards, but Bonne anniversaire! Hope for good health and friends for the next 50.

I may be young, but we have started a nice collection of wines to bring home with us when our "tour" of service is done here. We volunteered for an overseas duty so we could travel europe (chance in a lifetime).

Of course, here is a laugh- we live in the only region of France that does not produce its own wine. Bretagne or Brittany as we english speakers call it, can't grow a good grape for love or money. This area is famous for its cidre (hard cider). Tastes a little like beer if it is brute, and more like sparkling cider if it is doux.

Got to see a lot over here so far, but the kids don't appreciate it yet, though my two oldest speak French without an accent, and fluently. I squeak by. It is sad to be old. The mind is the first to go (or is that because of the kids?) My husband says it is because I am blonde, but what does he know?
