We had a lot of picnics in Paris. The entire city was full of ideal picnic spots and with the bread, cheese & wine being so tasty and inexpensive we just couldn’t help ourselves. It was such a great way to eat lunch on the cheap and take in the scenes of Paris.
One day we found the perfect spot! A little canal full of live aboard boats, plenty of people relaxing on the grass like us and beautiful scenery. During lunch we discovered that Randy really needed a haircut. We had a small pair of scissors on our Swiss Army knife and had downed just enough wine to make it seem like a logical haircut.
Even though you wouldn’t know it Randy is kind of picky about his hair and has never let me cut it. I was pretty excited that I was getting the chance to finally trim it! Also, I should note that I am not a hairdresser by any stretch of the imagination. But I took the tiny scissors and gave Randy the best little Frenchman haircut I could muster. What do you think?

It may not look like a lot – I was nervous to go short but trust me it was. His hair was very straggly – I trimmed it up

A picnic in Paris sounds amazing right about now… as it’s cold and rainy where I am.

Aww how sweet. Nothing like some cheese and wine. The pictures are so soft, almost feathery. I love them.

Picnics in Paris sound so idyllic! Ive never been to Paris but it looks like a picnic is essential there. I love that you’re using a Swiss Army Knife to cut his hair as well

When you go, you’ll have to picnic. We did it all the time because the bread & cheese & wine is so good, yet so budget! @Laura,

There are winos with knives in a park near my house too, but they are not nearly as fun or interesting as you guys…

haha… I think they are probably a lot more interesting than us. I think I should consult you before naming any more posts. Wino’s with knives would’ve gotten a lot of hits!! hahaa@Raymond,

The haircut looked great for a couple weeks but it grew out terrible. At one point I mistook him for a woman in her 40′s from the back. I guess my cutting skills were short lived.
