We hosted a small party this afternoon, inviting people that helped us over the past few months. Several we invited couldn’t come because of work - from Hotel College des Doctrinaires, but they received the invitation and knew of our thankful gesture. The main paint crew came - Mouss, Adriana, Johnny, and Adriana’s grandson - Dennis, along with her husband. Our insurance agent, Romain, came. He was very helpful last fall when we were in the contract phase of buying the house and needed insurance prior to closing. Jean and Don helped us with translation and setting up meetings with the painter back in November, before we closed on the house.
I prepared a spread of food. We gave a tour of the house, then went to our garden room to load our plates. We sat in the garden to eat. It was a beautiful afternoon! We are very grateful to everyone that has helped us over the past months, renovate our home, buy furniture, and feel more a part of the Lectoure community.
