This book is two different stories in one that eventually merge which is exactly why I couldn’t put the book down. I knew they were going to merge, but I had to keep reading to find out when and how. One of the stories takes place in Paris during World War 2 during the time when thousands and thousands of Jews, mostly children, were shipped away in cattle cars. The other part of the story takes place in modern day Paris. Read this book on your own or with your book club, either way you won’t be able to put it down. Two thumbs up!

We had a busy, but not too busy, Father’s Day. It was fun, too. Everyone had a great day. The day started with breakfast in bed for Sean, then we went to church, then we came home, had lunch and relaxed for a while. Then it was off to the bowling alley/video arcade, then to the grocery store and finally off to a yummy dinner at a restaurant that Sean picked out.

Liam made the cereal bowl. Colm made the cookie jar.
If you lean one direction or another, it helps the ball go the way you want it to. 🙂
The Portland Farmer’s Market is AWESOME! There was everything from pig snouts, to fresh eggs, to pickled asparagus, to fava beans and every type of cheese you could think of. Let’s not forget the crepes…oh, those crepes.

Crepes
Eating crepes…Liam had hazelnut and Colm had lemon curd
We stopped and listened to these guys twice.
About three years ago we went to a place like this and the boys loved it, but we just never got around to going back. So, for the first day of summer we decided to head to a ceramics place to paint. Colm made a trophy, for himself. Liam and I both made dinner plates. I can’t wait to see what they look like when they are done getting fired.
