Janine en vacances dans les Vosges
Janine on vacation in Vosges ( mountain of eastern France )
Ce matin là j ' a apporté le café au lit à ma femme Janine . Ce n ' est pas du tout habituel . Ce qui est fréquent , c' est le contraire : c ' est elle qui me l ' apporte . Je suis si fragile ! Probablement étais - je tombé du lit !Vous remarquerez que dans notre vieux moulin nous avions une superbe chambre avec une sorte de baldaquin en voile orné de roses blanches en tissu au dessus de nos têtes . Certaines nuits je me réveillais avec une rose blanche posée sur le front . Je devais ressembler à un ange …
.! St Michel ????
On this morning I brought coffee in bed to my wife Janine . It's not usual , not at all . What it is frequent it' s the contrary : this is she who brings it to me . I am so weak !! Probably I had fallen down from the bed !!!!You will notice that in our old mill we had a superb bedroom with a kind of canopy made with voile ornemented with textile white roses . Any nights I awoke with a rose put down on my forehead . I should be like an angel ….
.! St Michel ???????
Sur cette seconde photo Janine m ' attend pour partir en excursion . En effet je suis toujours en retard . Je rencontre toujours quelqu ' un pour bavarder .
On this second picture Janine is waiting for me to start to an excursion . Indeed I always am to late . I always meet someone to speak with !
Et voici Janine glorieuse et triomphante au sommet de la montagne des Vosges . Elle vous salut : " bonjour les amis ! "

And here is Janine , glorious and triumphant at the the top of the mountain Vosges . She salutes you :" Hello friends ! "

Janine is lovely.
Absoluement, St. Michel.
Bonjour Janine!!!
What a delightful lady you have there, Michel
~waves a big hello back to Janine~
Ahh.. looking so relaxed -
It is a romantic man, not a weak one who brings the first coffee of the day to his lady, after a night spent under voile and white roses. I suspect it was a perfect holiday 
You are a kind man to bring your wife a cup of coffee in bed.
Yes, St Michel it is
Although, I think that perhaps Janine is as equally as kind to you as well....they way it should be
Lovely view from the mountain top!
It looks like it was a lovely holiday!
Janine is beautiful. No wonder your grandkids are so charming!
Ah, de belle vacances et romantique... ^_^
St. Michel des roses de textile! Ce sont les images mignonnes de Janine. Elle regarde si douce. Bon jour, Janine! Les commentaires que vous dites me rappellent mon propre mari. Il est toujours en retard parce qu'il a trouvé quelqu'un pour parler avec!

Janine is a lovley lady. How nice of you to bring her coffee!
Your wife seems like a lovely woman. And how nice of you to bring her coffee to her...you both are lucky and blessed to have one another. -Kate
Oh je t'aime tellement Michel! Toi avec la femme encroyable, toi avec la fleur sur ta tete, toi avec les personnes qui tu doit parlez avec!!
(excuse ma gramairre, j'essaie seulment pour toi!)
Hi Janine !
Looks like you both had a lovely trip! Awesome.
bonjour, bonjour!
Welcome back! I enjoyed seeing your vacation pictures with your wife. The French countryside is so lovely. I still hope to someday visit your beautiful county that is so rich in history.

What a lovely display of love, friendship and having a good time. You two are charming as well as handsome people
She is lovely! Hope you are feeling alright, Michel.

What lovely photos of your holidays Michel , Jannie looks very relaz on her holiday.
Its great to have you back , hope this very hot weather is not causing chaos in your garden
"Bonjour Janine"
I seethat a painting of Van Gogh is on the wall, must be a copy because I saw the real one in de musée d'Orsay or perhaps is that a copy and the real one in the old mill,
Nice to see you are back,
Amitié

Ah, now that's a great love! Coffee in the morning brought to bed. My husband sometimes makes coffee in the morning & thinks that is a great thing.......but never brings it to me.
Janine is a lucky woman, St. Michel!
Hello Janine and St. Michel. It's wonderful that both of you still do the nice things for each other like coffee in bed. Your travels sound beautiful.
opps! the one above is mine.
She is lovely, and well loved!

Welcome back! As usual, wonderful blog
Thank you.
There is nothing like coffee in bed to fuel the fires of love.... Or something like that.
St. Michel!! It's as I always suspected! I look forward to visiting the Vosges some day. Now, though, we are preparing a visit to Normandy. I do hope it is much cooler there than in Franche-Comté!
Janine is lovely. You make a beautiful couple! How many years have you been married?
Vous paraissez avoir un amour bien spécial. Continue avec les belles photos!

Hugggs to both of you.

She is bright, pretty, and all yours! You are a lucky man to have such a fine wife! Coffee in bed? Ohhhhh, la la!
I am definitley sending my husband to you for lessons on how to kind to the wife!
Il est tres cool que vous avez importe le cafe au lit a votre femme, particulairement que c n'est pas quelque chose que vous faites habituellement
I dub thee St. Michel, Patron Saint of kindness, friendliness and good photography.
Great pictures, my friend!
DG
Great photos and welcome back from your vacation! Looks like a great time! Hope you enjoy your weekend.
It is a delight to see the love in your sweet wife's eyes for you! Must have been some vacation! Hugs dear friend.
Michel
I am sorry to be leaving Xanga. - but alas, it became too much for me, all the commenting and the feeling of guilt when people had commented on my site and I did not have time to comment on their site.
I will still visit my Xanga friends but for the time being I wish to be somewhere else.
With kind regards, Tom
I'm glad you've found time to show us your holiday photos - very nice
It's tooooo hot to do anything here, even at 7.0pm to water my tomatoes !! Some of them are ripe now so Julie is going to take a pic so I can " show off " well I've never grown anything like this before.
Marie
i wish i was on vacation with you both!
thanks for sharing.
Lovely!
Wow! 
Merci Michel, pour vos photos. J'espère que vous avez passé de très belles vacances.

You have a lovely wife she has a good figure, she probably likes spoiling you .I don't believe in spoiling men so be thankful you have someone like that. I hardly ever take Matt a cup of anything into him unless I want him to get up early. For years and years he gave me a cup of tea in bed before he left for work .Am I grateful and return the compliment NO ,I am not a nice person. Regards to Janine, and pleased to have my bear back. Love Marjie


Hi Janine! She is a beautiful lady.
très elegante
Your love for Janine shines so brightly and I think that is wonderful. It is something we all should strive to have one day in our lives.
How sweet of you to bring Janine coffee in the morning! Very thoughtful. Great pics. I especially like the one where she is waiting for you.
Janine is a lovely lady. Thanks for sharing the pictures of her. It looks like the 2 of you had a wonderful holiday. We are off to Bermuda for a week tomorrow.
...Michel, delightful pics and story!!! You were being ordained with "roses"!
Hugs,
MuSe
What a nice vacation! I would love one of those! And you bring your wife coffee in bed...that is so sweet!!

Good to read that Janine and you had a good time.
Love to both of you

Ah, Michel! I am smiling, I can imagine that you DO always meet someone to speak with. That is a lovely room, it looks very comfortable - just the place for relaxation.
(I am partial to California white zinfandel wines. My palate isn't sophisticated at all, I like them light and a little sweet.
)
looks like a nice time..Your wife is very lovely..
take care,
rubymoon
I picture your Janine as a quiet pillar of strength and abundance of love. Thank you for sharing her with us, Grandpere!
~Paloma
St. Michel sounds good to me

hello! just checking to see how your faring with that heatwave over there. Hope you staying cool, your wife is a beautiful woman- take care!
You have a beautiful wife! You make such a lovely couple

You are a lucky, lucky man to have such a wonderful wife. She is a lucky, lucky woman to have such a beautiful husband.
Hello Janine and Michael , you'll make a lovely pair indeed! Hug's to you both!
ca va!!!
You have a really nice wife Michel!! You two seem to have a very happy life.... I hope later I can be like you as well! =)
Bonjour Janine and St.Michel. God bless both of you.
Glad to see you back again, as always we have missed you. Hope you are weathering the heat wave. For us it's nothing but rain and more rain. But at least it holds the heat back a bit. Finally the lazy sultry dog days of summer and soon Fall's cool breezes. As always your photographs are just wonderful. You make us all warm and fuzzy inside looking at them. Take good care of yourselves in this weather.
Love,
Brenda
C'est très gentil à toi à aporter le café au lit à ta femme. J'aime bien ca quand mon mari le fait aussi
. Merci beaucoup pour me féliciter mon poème. Il faut chercher une mélodie!

Hello! *waving to Janine*
The bed looks wonderful. I hope you had a wonderful time. The pics are fun to see and at least Janine didn't break the camera as Mike did. lol
I think it is most excellent that you took her coffee in bed.
I am glad to be able to get to your site and read again and see the pics. Lets hope and pray Xanga has no more attacks.
Hugs and love,
Deb
I think you are an angel, Sweet Michel!
She is a lucky woman - you both seem so happy! 
***waving back***
Those are lovely pictures! I have the same thing of finding folks to speak with! No one is a stranger!
Thanks for sharing.

It's my dream to go to Mali.......
but I don't have the money.
One never knows what happens though,
and one can't do without dreams.
Hugggsss
Hello Michel. Thank you for visiting my new website. I often check your Xanga site to see if it has changed. Now it is sunday evening and I have work tomorrow - I wish I could spend more time in the garden as you do. Best wishes, Tom
to answer your question ~ Randy's ex-wife is the one who is posting lies and slander on her website. She hates the fact that he is happy and has moved on. It is funny how she is always the victim - never played any part in the breakup, at least according to her. And Randy - the most laid back person ever - was the devil himself....according to her! She reads our xanga sites, and now we read hers as well.... but i hate that she is on here with us. Blech!
to you and yours!
merci encore pour vos pensées, Michel
j'essayerai d'être heureuse toujours. (aussi, je chante chaque jour comme vous avez dit!)
beautiful!
thank you for sharing, Michel.
Just checking on you.
and {{{hugs}}}
Bonjour Janine !
Quelles belles images de vacances
Et quel été exceptionnel ...
Avez-vous suffisamment d'eau pour le jardin ??
I can imagine you getting delayed talking to people!! I can be that way, too.
Looks like a wonderful trip...Janine is so lovely!!
Your wife is gorgeous! I would have to kill you for posting a picture of me from before I had time to have my coffee
heh heh - hope it was a great vacation!
looks beautiful and peaceful. nice to see a side of the world such as the one you show here.
enjoy your week.
Good to see you back, Saint Michel.
Roses and coffee in bed sounds like a treat to me. I love the last picture of Janine where she is waving. *waving back* Glad you had such a fun time.
Edie Rose
J'espere que moi et Julien seront si heureuse que vous! Votre femme est trés belle!
Les photos sont magnifiques! J'aime les montagnes et la compagne (moins les insectes
)
Et merci pour la traduction de mon poeme
Je l'ai trouve' le forme du poeme dans mes photos. Pendant lycee j'ai du fini le poeme pour un projet. Mon poeme a change' depuis la lycee. Les choses changent, eh?
You have definitely shown the love for your wife in your blogs. Such a great sight.
