Autumn bouquet

Saturday
An emergency blip today, since I was out all day at our church's women's retreat. It was held at A's beautiful large home quite a way out the other side of Fontainebleau. I car-pooled with a couple of other ladies, so we had a pleasant drive, but no opportunity to stop for a photograph. There were about twenty of us in attendance. We were fed well - spiritually and physically! Lunch was wonderful - we certainly didn't go hungry - A. had made a huge dish of Boeuf Bourguignon, accompanied by baked potatoes, and then she had asked us all to take a salad or dessert. I made a carrot cake which was very well received. My blip is of the beautiful bouquet of flowers our dinner guest brought us yesterday evening - such beautiful colors!
