Last weekend, for my birthday, we spent a night in a luxury hotel near Chambord Castel. Chambord is one of my favorite place. I have been there several times, but each time we are subjugated by the beauty of the castel, inside and outside. One bonus when spending the night near by is that it is possible to tour the park at dark…

Here are some photos taken last weekend:

I hope you will like!

Last weekend, we visited the Chartres cathedrale, another of my favorite place! Our goal was to have a look at the Saint Piat Chapel ( the cathedrale “trésor” is there). Four new “stained glass windows” made by a Korean artist are exposed there, with otherstatues and religious artifacts. Wonderful and moving!

Of course, I visited too my great friend Saint Antoine, offering him a candle to thank him for taking good care of me and all my loved ones!

I always remember how lucky I am to be around and to enjoy my new life! Thank you to the people from Saint Antoine Hospital Hematology Department and in particular my fantastic graft doctor! I don’t forget my family, my friends and my stem cells donor.

With love!

This Fall again, we visited our family in Toronto. We spent 3 weeks there. We had such a great time. Our grandsons are changing so fast! They are now 5 years old and 13 months old!

We did not travel outside Toronto this time. We just visited the railroad museum with our older grandson, and Brick Works with our younger grandson. We visited also the street art alley in downtown Toronto.

It was the begining of the Fall season, with the bright colors illuminating the forests, and the Halloween decorations poping out in every garden.

As usual, we came back with the flu! Canadien virus do not like us!

Eight years ago, on November 10th, I used the subway to attend the 20th anniversary of our lab at the Curie Institute. It was my first public transportation after my stem cells graft. I asked permission to my graft doctor, who said yes. But I had to wear a face mask, and do not eat during the lunch buffet… I was so bad looking, no hair, white skin, that nobody wanted to speak with me: most of them were thinking that it could be the last time they might meet me alive… But I was so happy to be there!

Once again, I had been very lucky to meet with the fantastic Hematology team at Saint Antoine Hospital: they saved my life! Each day, my thoughts are flying toward the doctors and nurses there, in particular to my great graft doctor! I don’t forget my family and my stem cells donor!

With love…
