I enjoy to read your comment Maggie . There is so long .
Thank you very much.
Happy Birthday Janine 🎈 🎉 🎈 🎉 🎉
Wow that looks a wonderful birthday party. How lovely. Janine does look surprised. 🎁
How memorable to celebrate with her children and grand and great grandchildren. Blessings of God.
yes this big familial gathering was unexpected for Janine . So she was very surprised in opening the door to see the entire family.
This is heartwarming. Family get together s are becoming few and far between, the family unit if spread out and so much distance separates. To see this is beyond beautiful as is Janine, Happy Birthday Janine.
Yes ,Holly , we are lucky to have our children not too far and faithful of the familial gatherings and this one was a big one: their mother ‘s birthday
C’était une belle, émouvante et joyeuse journée ! Et nous étions heureux d’être tous ensemble pour fêter Maman !!!
Je vous embrasse tous les deux,
Véronique
cela a été une belle surprise pour maman qui le mérite bien .
Merci pour ta participation Véronique.
Wow! What a gathering! And what a cheese plate! That’s a nice hall, too. Truly blessings, everything. Is that the home that was refurbished a few years ago? The courtyard outside looks familiar. And one of the six must be the one who checked the library for me—thanks again!
The one who made researches to find the article of Gati from the colloque of Lille 1982& is Veronique ( at the left side of my wife Janine) . She commented above.
Yes, Neil, it was a large cheese plate :abundance and diversity!
How wonderful, give Janine my best wishes a day late. 🙂
never too late, Bonnie!

Bonjour mon Ami MICHEL que c’est beau d être tous réunies pour l’anniversaire de ta fille , belle famille
Ce jour
je regarde le ciel et je pense
je m’évade et m’envole dans le plus grand silence
voir un monde meilleur
Je rêve, je m’imagine que le bonheur est
sans challenge,ni concurrence,ni vainqueur,ni vaincu
Voir tout le monde avec le sourire
Regarder les enfants , courir , sauter , s’amuser ,
en cette période de Noel tout est beau
Aimer toujours aimer quoi de plus beau
sans le dire on peut le montrer , quel joli cadeau
Je passe te souhaiter une bonne de journée ou soirée
Gros bisous . Bernard
Merci Bernard pour ton commentaire en forme de poème . En ce qui concerne Janine dont l’ anniversaire était fêté, elle est mon épouse et non ma fille ! 🙂

Wonderful, Michel! Belated birthday wishes to Janine!
Thank you Cynthia, you are kind .
I feel so awful to see the news out of France, with the protests and now the gunman. I hope all is safe and quiet at the places where you and your family are, and your lives are proceeding along as usual!
Yes it is awful and I wondered when this protest would stop. Fortunately in Amiens there has been no troubles. Thank you Neil to ask.
Le bonheur d’une famille unie! Félicitations à elle et vous tous et de belles fêtes à venir suite à ce bel anniversaire de Janine!
Amitiés, AM
