And the winner is . . . .

The smile on her face revealed all! She won! As the highest vote-getter, our little Princess has entered the world of politics. The election was not held until Thursday, thus the delay in reporting the results. She is happy, but also serious about bringing justice for the sixth graders at Rosa Parks middle school. (yes, it is really named for the American civil rights hero)

In other news: The Austins took a HUGE leap of faith and signed a "promesse de vente" on a house in Villabe. The signing took 2 1/2 hours as the agent explained all the details in the lengthy documents we had to sign. So, after procurring a loan and going through all the legal and bureaucratic steps we will move in January to our own little nest.

Tonight "les Bleus" (France) face the "All-Blacks" (New Zealand) in the quarter final of the Rugby World Cup. We would love for either team to advance--we shall see.

Congrats to Mme President. I'm sure she will govern wisely. Also, felicitations on your nouveau maison. Need any help moving?
We have just returned from a 16 day trip out west to both Las Vegas and Northern California where we attended to Be's sister, Joanne, and her needs. More on that by the end of the weekend on our blog.
Love y'all,
Don & Be

I'm sure the presidential win was the reason your closing was only 2.5 hours. She probably pulled some strings and reduced your suffering. Happy home owning! Jayhawks are the cause of our suffering today. Even if they were the better team... I still hate them!!

Yippee! Hurrah! The world will be a better place with the Princess in charge. :) (I'm sure her brothers would disagree.)

Miss you!
Annie.
p.s. You're right...trying to find info about the Rugby Cup within American media is nigh impossible. Thank goodness for international websites!
