Cutlery, napery, food from home--so civilized. Nothing like a fast food burger to unravel the mood and vistas of being away.

You seem to make every adventure a pleasure. Maybe the next time you know your're approaching a border guard, you can take the lemon and put it in your pocket (or some other place out of sight if you know what I mean). Safe travels. Doris PS I think that chemin du chansons means the road songs or songs of the road-something like that (my high school French escapes me alot). Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sat, 19 Jul 2008 12:54:08 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/marysfarm/picnics Sounds like beautiful, fun travel adventures you are having. Wish we were along! We pack picnics, too, on occasion, even for day trips in the Pacific NW. The food is so much healthier! Yes, the translation is "road song" or "country road song." This posting reminded me of the story about Helen Nearing and her roadside veggie sandwiches!

It reminds me of the picnics my mother and I enjoyed while visiting her family in Alsace, France...out of the car trunk came folding table, chairs, table linens, china and silverware...not to mention delicious fresh food and wine! This would all be set up in an apple orchard or in the road side shade.You and they know how to live. Enjoy! Barbara F.

Your story reminds me of the marvelous picnics my mother and I shared with her family in Alsace, France. Off on the road, the car would stop in an apple orchard or the shade of a road side tree and out of the trunk would come folding table, chairs, table linens, china, silverware and fabulous fresh food and wine. You and they know how to enjoy life...how wonderful! Barbara F. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:34:08 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/marysfarm/picnics Reminds me of my journeys to both ends of US1...Key West, FL and Fort Kent, ME. Of the two, I found Ft. Kent the far more interesting and attractive...a place I would like to return to again and again. Key West, on the other hand, is 'just OK" by comparison. From the end of US1 we drove acrosss the river into Canada, following the Canadian highway east and re-entering the US at Houlton, ME., the northern terminus of I-95. Thus, I managed to experience the two ends of two great highways..all in one trip..!! Susan Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:48:30 +0100
