Now I couldn't very well celebrate without a fun song and a little Audrey for Anita.

Here is the movie clip of Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face singing Bonjour Paris, with Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson from 1957.

GOOD MORNING MY FRIEND...I am so glad you love M. Balzac; he is my sweet but scrappy boy that I first encountered in Paris in a shop. He was ON GUARD and would NOT allow me to go into his owner's fancy shop!!! Hence the story began in my head. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.....LOVE TO YOU, Anita

Hi Karen, Like you, I love the French script too. And I love your hot air balloons. I took a ride in a balloon a couple of years ago. When we landed we celebrated with a champagne toast. Why? Because it was a very French thing to do. :) xo
