Had a lovely lazy day and went for a walk with mom through the town (all 6 houses) and read in the garden and did laundry. The ‘grown-ups’ went into Valognes for groceries to make for supper tonight. John made another wonderful meal of salmon and potatoes. We got some apple liqueur, Calvados, (which this part of the country is famous for) and all had a glass. I put it up to my mouth to take a drink and my eyes started watering. Apparently it’s 40 proof (like whiskey). I took a drink, sputtered for a bit, and gave it to mom who happily drank my glass and hers. I’ve now gone to bed and mom shows no sign of stopping. She’s suddenly got a second wind.
