Party Like It's 1996

Matthieu is back, for a surprise visit, and it's Christmas 1996 all over again.

In the school year of 1996-1997, we hosted a foreign exchange student, from France: Matthieu. We have kept in touch, but it has been quite a while since we all actually saw him.

He flew in from Paris on Thursday night and is back in his old room for the holidays.

My son coordinated it, but my wife, my daughter, and I were clueless about it until he showed up at the door.

His presence is a gift
and gave us all a lift.
