David's Project, Berry Picking and a Birthday

David was given a project of building a frame for the hotel/restaurant signs that our hosts has had for 4 years.  They bought the material David told them he would need.  The only tool they had for him to work with was a small skill saw.  When finished the signs will be posted at the city limits, on each side of the village, to advertise.



Not quite completed, but of course they loved them!
Time for a coffee break
This is Anita's Flea Market treasures.
After going on another run we came across more blackberries so the 
following day we both went to pick them

We also found several blueberry bushes but they weren't quite ready to pick
More amazing food - Tomato and Mozzarella Quiche
Potato Au Gratin and Fromage Blanc with our fresh berries
 
Local cheese with Fig Jam
Another evening walk in the village with the full moon rising






Saturday was Linda's birthday so we took the day off and decided to walk to the next village for lunch.  We thought it was 10k away so 6 miles there, have a nice lunch and walk 6 miles back.  Well....it was 9 miles but we made it!

The village of Condat




 We had lunch at nice restaurant overlooking Lac Des Moines

Our appetizer was chilled asparagus and anchovy soup
 We had STEAK! First time since arriving in France!  The small bowl is blue cheese sauce.
 An of course we had to end it with Espresso

 Saturday evening Alexander and Anita made Linda a special birthday dinner 
and started it with Rose` Champagne
 Appetizer - Red Pepper stuffed with Tuna
 Cod fish with white wine and capers
Birthday Cake - Chocolat et Poire Gateau
 A gift from our hosts!  Such a wonderful day!
