One day last week, Martha decided to work from home.  In between phone calls and writing assignments, she always looks around to see what needs to be taken care of.  Verdi, the cat, should have known better than to get all settled in for a nice long nap on his favorite perch in the dining …

I was wandering around the house the other day when I noticed something strange and exciting in Martha’s parlor.  Sitting there upon the lovely Fortuny-covered settee was a clock with my face upon its face.  Of course, the clock is one-of-a-kind and simply magnifique!

When we were in Maine last week, it was the peak of the leaf season. The view from the terrace of Skylands was so amazing, but I really wanted to go for a drive in Acadia National Park to see more splendors. Here’s what we encountered.

We Frenchies were in the kitchen the other day when Empress Tang came to the door looking agitated and terrified.  She was pleading with us to let her in and she even made some impressive promises.  We were happy to help keep her out of harms way, but we really should have known better than …

If you read Martha’s blog yesterday, then you know we went hiking while we were in Maine.  You know that Sharkey and I are avid hikers and we’re trying to get G.K. conditioned as a skilled trekker.  And after scaling Parkman Mountain in Acadia National Park, I think the boy has what it takes.

Franny and I were soaking up the warmth of the sun the other day when I suddenly realized something major was happening.  We, Frenchies, have had such an amazing summer and we hoped it would go on forever.  No such luck!

Recently, I was lounging out on the terrace when I looked up in the sky and spotted a blimp!  It was the first time I’ve ever seen a blimp so close.  I just couldn’t figure out why it was flying around Bedford.  So strange!

Uncle Carlos came to visit yesterday.  It was a rainy day and we really wanted to get out of the house for a while.  He said that he would take us for a spin around the farm in the Kawasaki, one of our favorite things to do.  Come along for the ride!

Francesca and I told you the other day how we set up flip cams in the kitchen as part of our sting operation.  I think our French lineage can be traced to Chief Inspector Jacques Clousseu because we have proven ourselves to be superior sleuths!  Check this out and there’s even more to come!
