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.
This link is of my mother reciting some poetry
