I know this is supposed to be Silent Sunday, but I have to say something about the following two pics . . .
Francis Ford Coppola--you are one of the most highly acclaimed directors, producers, and screenwriters in the film industry. Thank you for producing such films as The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.
However--For the love of all that is holy, please stop producing such crappy wine. This is one of the worst bottles of wine I've tasted in a very long time. It is truly terrible, even after letting it decant for three days. It may not even be suitable to use as vineager. *steps down from soapbox*
That is all.
(:

ReplyDeleteCroissants? Yummy.... Cheesy ones? Double yummy!
Kitty cat seems to be having a hearty nibble...
look at all the bread and cheese! Man, I need to come visit you!
ReplyDeleteYou would think he'd know something about wines after making the Godfather movies.
ReplyDeleteKittens must've thought you tasted sweet.
My brother has 3 of those hammocks on his terrace - the boys tried to sleep all night in them but ended up in bed! And I have one of those pink straw baskets from a French market years ago :)

You have no idea how much I envy you being able to get French butter and got to French markets. Last time I had real French butter was in Martinique which is a département of France so I guess gets it shipped there, and that was years ago. We were on a cruise and they picked some up so breakfast was great for a day or two.
ReplyDeleteI will remember not to drink Coppola wines if I come across them. Kittens like cheese too do they LOL
Great pics...you can't go wrong with booze or kittens! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll remember to say away from Director Brand wine, as well.
Fabulous pictures - makes me want to travel! And those kittens. I love orange striped cats. They're always so friendly!
ReplyDeleteShould just stick to what he knows, as sounds like wine just make crap flows. Cute kitties indeed, they sure liked you toes.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you found two new friends
ReplyDeleteawwww on the kittens!
ReplyDeleteMMM-mmm. Crepes, cheese, and lovely market things. . . love those hydrangeas, especially blue ones. This is called the hammock viewpoint?
ReplyDeleteCute kitties - perfect for a lazy Sunday.
These pictures are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBut the kittens...=^_^=...are the best. Tabbies are the best cats.
Hi Elise .. well I'll join you next year for your trip to the Pyrennees ... cheese, some vin du peasant perhaps, and beurre from the mountains! Great photos - the flowers, the views, the kittens ..
ReplyDeletecheers enjoy the last of the summer days - Hilary
Those kittens are so cuuuuute. Just be careful that they don't try to eat you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I am not sure how the teeth fit in, but I enjoyed the giggles. Sorry you didn't like the wine.

Look at the kitties! My husband's parents have orange tabbies and they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKITTIES! I love them :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I used to say "Francis Ford Crappola" when I wanted to say something was crap. Maybe you can say that about the wine ;)
This was a totally happy blog to visit today. What great pictures-- mouth watering and very high on the cute meter!
ReplyDeleteAll that wonderful bread and cheese and then...crappy wine? Curse you Coppola!
ReplyDeleteWow, great pics. :)
My kind of day. Wine. cute little kittens, and lots of doing not much!
ReplyDeleteKitties! So cute. Poor Coppola, great luck in film, less so in wine. These pictures are so beautiful. I'm refreshed and a bit hungry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a day! You have everything anyone in this world needs!
ReplyDeleteIf I take a vacation to France, I so want to have you show me around. :)
ReplyDeleteBonjour n'stuff, human Elise! Yes, lucky you, it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar. The only follower you need, right? Arf! Arf!
ReplyDeleteYay to France and your photos. Yep, even the kitties. As for wine, my human would insist on picture ID from you. Enjoy your vinegar, nonetheless. Mon dieu!
Pawsitive wishes and Caniche Français,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)
coppola cheesy bottles, huh? ;)
ReplyDeletemost likely if one's bad, the rest are as well... :(
Oh my gosh I love those kittens. I want to come to France and steal them. <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeletewww.rsrue.blogspot.com
Do those ahhhhdorable kitties have french purrs? Lovely pics, you have a wonderful way of capturing the moment, whether it be sinfully blissful delicacies or crappy Coppola wine:)
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and the kitties. :)
ReplyDeleteThe wine may be bad but that's one super cute kitty you got there!
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures!!! That kitty looks so friendly. Thanks for sharing your photos. I hope your Sunday was restful. :D
ReplyDeletei was wondering why you hate us so much that you are trying to make us green with envy??? i mean really, the hammock, food, and cute kitty fun...CRUEL. go back and fall in that mud again!
ReplyDeleteHoly bread and cheese and kittens, oh my!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and gorgeous pictures! Makes me want to get a cat. Have a lovely weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures. American kittens are cute and precious, too. My niece just returned from Paris, she loved it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures...Its very colorful and enriching. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey O Silent one,
ReplyDeleteIs that an '02 Coppola you were quaffing?
If so, *that* was probably the problem... I've drank each of the '07 - '10 (no, not in the same session - kinda:) and they were OK.
Just sayin'
Regards,
BoxBoy
Are those your feet? You have pretty feet! (Is that weird for me to say? Lol) LOVE THIS, Elise.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures, especially the darling kitty. Though, it was a mistake to look at the food pics. Now I'm starving:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures, Elise! The cat series was cute. Such an adorable face.
ReplyDeleteLook at it this way...Coppola got you to buy at least one bottle. Cost him next to nothing and he swindled you out of a few francs and tastebuds. Sucker! ;)

Just scrolled through the pictures for the second time and realised one features shelves full of dentures or casts of teeth. Eek! What's going on there? Were you at the dentist?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow, Elise:)
ReplyDeleteNice photographs. I am sure the cat didn't bite :)
