Sensing Dave needed some time on the bike, Meghan and I offered to take him to work on Friday so he could ride home. It was great to see the Hill-Rom in France that I had heard so much about but had never seen. It is much larger than I anticipated and there was actually a large outdoor map to show you the different areas but we missed that photo opportunity.

In front of the main office building flies the American flag, the European Union flag, the French flag and the Hill-Rom flag. To me the flags respresent how global Hill-Rom is and it is not just a Batesville compaany.

Dave is so glad it's Friday so he can get some riding in this weekend. We are pretty sure he's been missing his Thursday night and Saturday morning rides with the Indianapolis South Stars (his go fast group). This is his temporary office until the newly hired purchasing manager arrives in September.

This morning, Dave and I went for a bike ride. Since I am a little tentative about going out on my own on the country roads, he showed me a good way to get to Arradon, a small community on the gulf. Some of you know (Leslie) how great I am with directions. Then after we returned he went out on his own for a real ride! Thanks Dave for slowing down for me. This photo was taken by Dave this a.m. on our bike ride.
He will stop for a photo!

Meghan is such an entrepreneur! She has figured out a way to earm money since she no longer has babysitting money coming in. She negotiated with Dave and I to get paid for ironing. We are still working out the pay since we think her asking price is a little high. She pays for her own candy and extra things so we think it's important for her to have some of her own money to learn the value of the euro. Last weeked at the Celtic festival they were selling candy by the 100g and when Meghan went to pay the man he said "8 euros". Her eyes got really big and agreed that was some expensive candy! It was a great learning experience. By the way, one euro = $1.68

Bon Jour, Susie thanks for sending all the beautiful pictures of the flowers. It gives me great pleasure to see the flower boxes and your new "herb garden". Try this recipe, saute mushrooms in a little butter,put a little salt on mushrooms,put lid on(the salt will draw out the water)simmer for a few minutes; take lid off, squeeze juice of 1 lemon add pepper..saute till all juice is gone and mushrooms are carmelized. Get good bread,brie or provolone,some of your fresh basil and make a grilled cheese sandwich with all the above ingredients. Yummy, simple and with great salad just perfect for lite dinner. Thanks for keeping up the blog; it is fun to see a visual diary of your days. I really liked the picture of the door. love,amy
