Bonne Fête des Pères ! Father’s Day is the same day in the US and France – the third Sunday in June. Which is slightly less complicated than Mother’s Day, which is the second Sunday in May in the US and the last Sunday in May in France – unless that last Sunday is also Pentecôte, then Mother’s Day is the first Sunday in June (which is what happened this year.)

Today is also the second tour des élections législatives. Unfortunately, since David’s father works for the mairie, he had to be at the polls all day and couldn’t join us for lunch.

My own father is 3,000 miles across the ocean and six hours in the past.

Happy Father’s Day, wherever fathers may be!
