My Life Today: Visiting my Mother in Versailles and Driving to Bonn. Germany

in #story7 years ago (edited)

Last week, before going to the Abbey, as I had business to do in Versailles, I had lunch with my mother in her retirement home in Versailles.

I left my camera in her bedroom. So, yesterday, on the road to Bonn to visit @shortcut, I stopped again in Versailles and had lunch with my mother.

She has a large room. All the furniture belongs to her, except the bed.

On the walls, she put a number of pictures and photographs.

I left Versailles and drove to Cambrai, where I spent the night in a cheap hotel.

And today, I drove to Bonn. Tomorrow, I'll visit the city. I think I will go to the Beethoven House.

Then, in the afternoon, I'll meet @shortcut and with @asperger-kids, that I have never met, we will go to the Steemit Meetup Aachen #3.

Life is beautiful and rewarding at the same time.
Enjoy every minute with your mommy.
Nice pictures too.
Be safe out there.
Keep on steemin'

Beautiful, well done
Great post from you
Thanks for sharing

Funny how military careers is sometimes running in the family (thinking of your great grandfather). My wife's paternal family was soldiers and then for some generation customs officials, but still with the martial culture intact.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Quite impressive to read, that your mother is almost a 100 years old. She looks really strong for that age.

Sorry to hear, that you left your camera, though...

I remember as a kid visiting my grandmothers house and looking at all the pictures. They had such big families on my dads side and the walls were trip though history. It doesn’t matter how many times you see the pictures it always takes you back. So nice that you got to spend some quality time with your mom.

It was lovely of you to have lunch with your mother twice in one week! It sounds like you are enjoying your trip...

Your mother is good healthy.

Nice union with your mother @vcelier i love all those pics thanks for sharing. Just take care of your mother and how old is she

97 years old.

This post is so sweet! I can feel the love you have for your mom. The pictures show you have a big family. ❤😊

thanks ~~~
