You have heard Tin Man speak of his love many times…….

Virginia of Bel’ Occhio’s Blog

When Tin Man started his blog one of his first followers was Virginia…a friendship blossomed….

In the Spring of 2014 Tin Man rode a train across the entire country of Canada and ended the journey by spending the day with Virginia and the Good Husband…

You can read about that trip HERE  

This time The Tin Man was able to spend three delicious days with Virginia and The Good Husband..

Virginia’s home is Paris….

We had a delightful time on the front patio, surrounded by beautiful flowers…….

sipping bubbly, noshing and waving to the neighbors as they drove by…..

Then one day ………off to the beach we went…..

…but first …..the red lipstick from Theadora of Paris: People, Places and Bling…to match the cute red handbag also from Theadora….

Our Theadora, as she has become to known, lives in Paris and is another blogger who has become part of the family…

Off to a friend’s home for an evening party….

Magic and Delight abound when one is in the presence of Virginia….

Of course……..culinary delights abound…..Aromatic, Marvelous Chicken Curry…..Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Sauce…..Cheese Puffs…..oh swoon….

Of course these delights are picked fresh from the garden………

The Back Porch is the perfect place to take an afternoon nap or enjoy a good book….

A pleasant evening of companionship and conversation….

The Good Husband builds model Ships….intricate and amazing work….

Forever the beautiful ambiance and culinary delights….

Three Days of Pure Delight….Tin Man rested in the lap of Buddha receiving blessings for the journey home…
