More Michigan visitors!

On May 9, we welcomed Chic and Nancy Broersma, long time friends from seminary days. They presently live in Cadillac, MI, near their son Steve and Sally and family. Chic was able to be our guest preacher here at the American Church in Paris, so that was special for all of us.

Quite soon into their visit here, we took the train to Chartres, a delightful hour's trip from Paris by train. We had just a spectacular day, enjoying that beautiful cathedral, and then walking the historical streets along the river, and finally finding a charming place to enjoy lunch. We noted how much less expensive it was than eating in Paris cafes!

As well as the typical tourist sites here in Paris, they enjoyed strolling along the Seine, watching people on the bus, participating in our church's coffee fellowship, taking in a flea market, shopping, etc.

Chic kept daily tabs on how the Detroit Tigers were doing! We played lots of setback, with the guys having the winning record. (...this time!)

I am including some photos of flowers, which has become kind of a hobby for me....Hope you enjoy them!

John is keeping very busy with wedding matters, and will also participate in a weekend retreat at the Taize center....He preaches here June 3, and then we'll be keeping active with a visit from our Aussie family, eager to spend time with them, especially Ben (5) & Tessa! (2)! We'll be preparing for our sojourn back to the States, then on July 1.

Till later! Sharon (and John)
