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!

What I'm Not Buying #1 - Chocolate Cake
I certainly did NOT buy this gooey decadent chocolate cake and eat half of it as a midnight snack! Nope. I'm a dieting Saint. Carrot sticks are my friend. Francois did NOT open the fridge this morning and give me the 'you're busted' look! I certainly did NOT look in the mirror this morning and find (eeeeek!) chocolatey smudges around my mouth. No way José!
Do you want to play too? Run over to Margo's at Life in the Short Lane!
