I love this story, Mary! Among the English I have never seen a bishop dancing with rabbits. I am sure you are enjoying the rugs!

Thank you Mary for creating a vivid picture in my head this morning. The scene has helped me understand your neighbors in a new way.

A student at the UI had to train for couple of months at my alma mater. I reached out to my brother who lived nearby to give her a tour of the area. One weekend, he drove her to St Malo and Mont St Michel. He had asked his 6 years old son to come along. Few months later, back in the US, my husband asked her about her trip, the first thing that came to her mind was not the incredible sites she had seen but that 6-year-old kid that stayed quiet the whole time...........
