Postcard Scavenger Hunt - Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower's snazzy firefly- like lighting was installed in 2003! The SNTE (Société nouvelle d'exploitation de la tour Eiffel) declared that all night-time images of the tower and its lighting display were under copyright! This made it actually illegal for tourists to share or publish their nocturnal Parisian memories! The courts finally ruled that it wasn't possible to copyright a public monument! Say cheese Eiffel Tower!

Here is a home movie of the scintillating tower! It sparkles like this for five minutes every hour:)

What I'm Not Buying #2 - Wild Mushrooms

I certainly did NOT buy this edible gem! Francois has a wonderful eye for finding wild mushrooms! We eyed this one while hiking through the forest! He whipped up a FABULOUS omelet with it too. (I love it when he wears my pink gingham apron:) Be sure to visit Margo at Life in the Short Lane! Her new blog meme is a blast! Come join in the fun!

Quotable Thursday - Woody Allen

I cant't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland - Woody Allen

I'm feeling powerful, energetic, and vibrant today. Watch out Rzeczpospolita Polska! I blame it all on this youtube video:)

Happy Quotable Thursday! Be sure to join in the fun!
