I posted earlier about my recent trip to France. However, I didn't mention something that happened, which still has me shaking my head. During the second week, we stayed in a beautiful château hotel, that had an amazing restaurant, where we ate each night (www.chateaunieuilhotel.com). The moment my husband and I first entered the restaurant, we were shocked to see that our waiter was the image of our grandson. The resemblance was uncanny and eerie...coloring, build, hair, dimple, exact green eye color, mannerisms. When we showed our waiter, Charly, a photo of our grandson, he was duly stunned. All the restaurant staff took to calling us Charly's American grandparents...but there's more. Toward the end of our trip, I happened to ask Charly when his birthday is. When he replied, "November 5," my knees went weak. That is my grandson's birthday too!
