We are already feeling the first signs of the coming fall, cold mornings, mild afternoon temperatures, just a few flowers… It has been “a family” summer, as our daughter and her family visited us from Canada where they are living. It was great to have them at home !

We spent a few days together in “le Perche” in Normandy (https://www.country-lodge.com/). A nice place to be with children, as there are many activities available (taking care of farm animals, swimming pool, biking,tree climbing).

We also went to visit the Eiffel Tower with my grandson. It was among the hotest days of the summer so it was kind of challenging. But we enjoyed the vue of Paris from the first and second levels. As it was the time for the Paris Summer Olympics, we also had a vue of the Beach Volley stadium. My granson was not scarred to walk on the “glass floor”! He gave me his hand to help me :-)!

We also visited with him a science museum (https://science-experiences.com/paris/en/#experience). He is a big fan of volcanoes, and is not scarred by new experiences like virtual reality!

All the family is now back home, and we miss them a lot… We will visit them in October…

September is the time when I have my annual visit with my fantastic graft doctor at Saint Antoine Hospital. Before I will do a full blood analysis to check if everything is OK…

I have been very lucky to have my stem cells graft done in the Hematology Department of the Saint Antoine Hospital in Paris! Great doctors and nurses have taken care of me, and I am now starting my ninth year in my new life! I do not forget my anonymous stem cells donor, and my great family and friends! I love all the members of this first class team: they deserve ” a gold medal”!
