Tuesday.  David was planning another grand adventure for Wednesday and we needed some exercise anyway so we decided to walk to the train station to buy our tickets ahead of time.  I think David just likes talking to the employees at the train station!

It was a cool, damp morning and we took some pictures along the way.  Here are my artistic shots.  I like the dew on the spider webs.

When Kema was here, every time we walked by these plants she plucked some dried seeds from them to take home and plant at her house in South Carolina.  She asked David to pick some more for her and he did.

I don't think I've posted any pictures of our train station; train stations are called "la gare" followed by their respective names.

David purchased the tickets with ease and we headed home again.  We had passed this home many times on our walks to and from the train station but it's at a very busy traffic area so we never stopped to take a picture of it before.  I think it's lovely!

When we returned home, I had to do a little laundry and, because guests are joining us on Sunday, I had to press some pillow cases and get the bed made up.  We are VERY excited for Gail and Lisa to arrive!

After that taxing chore, we decided we needed to stroll over to Aux Cepages for a glass of wine.  When we approached it, we were surprised not to see tables and chairs outside.  And then I spotted a note on the door!!!  Of course we immediately thought they had closed for vacation like a lot of places have but, no, the notice said there was a change of proprietor-ship and the cave would reopen on October 2nd!  We could not believe it because we had just started to become friends with Joel and Eliana!!!  As we stood there mumbling to each other an upstairs window opened and a young man greeted us.  Then another man, who we recognized as a fellow patron of Aux Cepages looked out the window and David was able to speak enough French to him to find out he is the new owner.  A moment later the door to the establishment opened and there was a blonde woman we had seen many times there -- apparently she and the other gentlemen are the new proprieters!  She actually invited us into the closed wine bar for a drink but we thanked her and declined.  We told them congratulations and that we would see them on October 2nd when they reopened.  I have to say we still feel a little disappointed about the change but we feel confident we will see Joel and Eliana either there or walking around town like we have before.

We immediately walked to the place we call the "beer garden" that we now know is called the Cafe de la Poste or Cafe of the Post Office, to drown our sorrows!  It was another nice day so we sat outside and had our two glasses of beer.  

For dinner David made some excellent scrambled eggs with Emmenthal cheese mixed in.  With the eggs, of course, we had to have toasted baguette with butter.  Very, very good!
