In memory of Francoise et Simone

Here is Francoise taking her daily morning walk. I was able to walk with her in early October 2019.  Along this walk she told me about a poem that she would recite by Jacques Prévert called "Chanson Des escargots" 

CHANSON DES ESCARGOTS

A l'enterrement d'une feuille morte

Deux escargots s'en vont

Ils ont la coquille noire,

Du crêpe autour des cornes

Ils s'en vont dans le soir

Un très beau soir d'automne

Hélas ! quand ils arrivent

C'est déjà le printemps.

Les feuilles qui étaient mortes

Sont toutes ressuscitées,

Et les deux escargots

Sont très désappointés.

Jacques Prévert

Here is Francoise sewing a carrying case for her pies and quiches. She was always thinking of ways to make others happy.
