Maybe it’s not so strange after all. After living in the good old US of A for many years, Stella and I decided to make the jump…back to France, our birthday land. Oops, quite a surprise. I guess it is the same for anyone going back to their stomping grounds after years of absence. It was like walking on the moon; even people we knew then were like Martians.

We were unable even to recognize that our old stomping changes came from us, not from them. Those folks in the old country haven’t changed; we, on the other hand, certainly have; for best or worst, it will be left to history to tell.
