Pic(s) For The Day - Giverny

Bob got home on Friday. On Saturday morning he woke up and said "I think we have to go to Giverny." We left on Sunday, and let me tell you, it was worth the 8 hours drive each direction!

For many years Bob and I had a coffee table book called Monet's Table , which we used for both design reference and daydreams. To walk into his house, and into the yellow-on-yellow dining room, to stand in the blue-tiled kitchen with it's copper pots on the walls, with everything looking exactly as we had envisioned it for years, was a moment in time for both of us.
