The house is painted! The painters are gone taking with them their noise and smell of paint. Finally, we can close the shutters at night without worrying if the paint's dry.
The wood and shutters look so nice and so new now. Here are some pictures:

What else??? Hmmmmm... Oh yes, my 2 group English classes had a year-end dinner at a local restaurant. We were 20 and had a nice evening chatting. For associations or even companies, it's very common to have a dinner amongst employees/students/members before everyone goes off on summer holidays.
Here's a group picture:
I received a couple of books and this beautiful plant as gifts from the students. But the woman who bought the plant couldn't remember the name. Does anyone recognize the type of plant???

Bonjour Dedene.
Sans doute qulqu'un aura trouvé la réponse avant moi. J'en vois Chaque fois que je vais à la jardinerie. C'est certainement une plante exotique. J'irai voir demain.
Un coup de peinteure (ou deux) sur des volets et cela retape une maison.
Ici, en ce moment, je m'occupe des fenêtres et j'ai tous les volets de la façade à repasser à la lasure.
I love your house. m.
The house is looking good. I am sure it is some type of orchid but...... Diane
I cannot get over how beautiful your home is!! I love the new color, it does 'liven' it up a bit. Looks like it was a great turnout for your dinner!
Ta maison est magnifique! Un bleu français gentil. Très bien.
Sorry, I don't have a clue about the flower. Delightful gift, as long as it doesn't eat you (as in The Little Shop of Horrors.
Bonsoir Dedene

(Merci Claude pour le nom de la plante). Dedene, your house looks so nice. I love the color of the shutters.
Thanks all for the nice comments about our house.
Claude, thanks so much! Merci beaucoup !
After having read the description and care of the Medinilla plant, I doubt if I'll be able to keep it alive. Sounds very tough.
You are welcome, Dedene !!!
J'ai voulu mettre un gentil com sur le blog de Nadège et je n'ai pas pu. Beaucoup de problèmes en ce moment pour les commentaires.
Such a beautiful home.
