For several years now I've been commenting on Therese's blog, originally photos from Chandler, Arizona, but now she's moved back to France and is currently in Tournefeuille, a community near Toulouse. Check out her blog at Tournefeuille A to Z. Our 'something in common' was our love of photography, France, and a connection to Serbia, as her husband is from Belgrade.
Therese and her husband were so kind to welcome me (and how!) into their home during my trip. I was picked up at the station, taken back, fed a scrumptious cassoulet, preceded by an aperitif called pousse-rapiere, which is Armagnac mixed with champagne... The next day, after croissants and pains au chocolat (called 'chocolatines' in Toulouse!), Therese took me on a walking tour/photo shoot of Toulouse, before taking me to the airport to Paris.
Therese and Dejan, merci infiniment de votre acceuil. I hope that you will both visit Belgrade sometime soon.

Zowie, what fun to meet a long time blogger friend. And bonus to such treats.
We love France and often tour on our motorbike. Sadly no time this year but this brought memories flooding back.

that looks like a hearty stew
Un cassoulet très appétissant!
My first thought before reading the post was that "zahvalna" must be Serbian for cassoulet. :~} It's always a treat to meet new friends, especially when they're old friends already! I'm off to check out Therese's blog --
Life can be very sweet eh? & I am so happy you have shared this inspiring story of friendship with us - you've made my day.
I love how small the blogger world is!!! I loved meeting you when you were here in California...and look forward to meeting again...maybe in Serbia!!! I saw your high school friend at a function in Mammoth last weekend...she came over and said hello...I'm so glad she did!!!
What a wonderful story about wonderful people. I'm going to remember this the next time I get down on this ol' world!
I remember well drinking "pousse-rapieres." And enjoying cassoulet. Yum!!
Wow! This is something new to me.
