After I returned home from mailing our check to the IRS, I checked in on the blog, only to read Regula’s comment that Notre Dame was on fire. I googled to find out what was happening and the still shots I saw filled me with dread. So, like so many, I turned on the television and remained glued to the screen for several hours.

Heartbreaking. I have no other words.

But I am heartened that the main structure was saved.

We visited Notre Dame last October during our trip to Paris. I am so grateful that we got to see it intact. Who would have dreamed that only 6 months later the roof and the spire would be consumed by fire? Beyond belief.

I’m going to stop now and share some pictures I took of Notre Dame.

She will rise again.

That’s it for today.

Happy Tuesday.
