Deb and I have often asked Peter and especially Margaret for suggestions or advice. Whether it be where Deb can find yarn for her crochetting, a denist for jenn's tooth emergency or a nice restaurant for our 28th anniversary, Margaret has always had a good idea of where to go. They have always been so thoughtful and kind and are a real blessing to have so involved with the program here in Ambialet. Margaret is in charge of the choir for Sunday mass, and Peter plays guitar.

I doubt being as humble and kind as they are, neither Margaret nor Peter realize how much they mean to the students and the rest of us here in Ambialet. I thank them.
After coming back to the Le Prieure, a number of students were excited about a small bonfire that was planned. Knowing some of the issues with open flames in the U.S., I asked Peter and Margaret if the villiage had any restrictions, and they said only during certain months. So everyone except me had a bonfire in the open area where we park cars. This was considered the safest place by far, everyone had a great time, as I understand it. It seemed like a nice way to start the last weekend in France. I didn't attend because of sinus issues, not because I didn't think it was a great idea.
The Bonfire (a bit tiny, but it served its purpose)
Today we are going to Albi for shopping and some fun. We all have a bit of cabin fever and it will be nice to get out and about!
