a stroll around Paris…
I’m 59 today. I don’t believe in being coy about my age, but rather view every year as a victory. 😉 My ideal birthday gift, bien sur, would be a trip to Paris. But as that isn’t in the cards for a few months, let’s take an imaginary visit together…

Happy Birthday Susan!! Thank you for the beautiful photos of Paris….I hope you have a wonderful day today <3
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthweekend!
Joyeux Anniversaire!
Happiest if birthdays! Live the photos. They are very inspiring.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the excellent suggestions for women like us. I will be in Paris at the end of April and am using your posts to pack the right way. Have also taken your advice on several clothing purchases and you have been right on the mark.
Finally there is a fashion blogger who truly understands “women of a certain age”!
Happy Birthday Sue! Love those photos. And finally….finally…after our trip last May they trigger my own memories. Sigh. Thanks for that. Hope you have a great birthday celebration…big or little..whatever your 59-but-still-looks-35-year-old heart desires:)
Happy Birthday to you!! xxx
Happy Birthday, and thanks for taking me along with you…
I hope you have a very Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! 59 is not what it used to be. You look great and I really enjoy your blog. Beautiful photos of Paris. Have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Birthday, and thanks for the lovely stroll around Paris. It brought back many wonderful memories (some just last year) of the times my husband and I have enjoyed while visiting Paris.
Happy Birthday! Ahhh, the bridges! The public spaces! The newsstands! The gravel paths in the gardens! The cobblestones! I wish I was there right now.
Happy birthday! As I like to say, I have earned every one of my years. (I say the same thing about the lines of my face.)
Happy Birthday, Susan. I enjoyed your birthday stroll around Paris very much. We’re of an age – I’m ahead by 4 months, so I’ll be 60 in the fall – I feel the same openness about my age. I hope your day is full of joy.
A very happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the lovely stroll around Paris to wake up to this morning.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures—-they bring back so many lovely memories. As Helena said, you really “get” women of a certain age—-your blog always makes my day!
Happy birthday! And thank you for the soul food (the photos of my beloved Paris).
Happy Birthday Sue!
It is lovely to see these beautiful images…I took pictures of these same spots last spring when I was there.
How wonderful that you are going back to Paris…
Happy Birthday, Susan, and many, many more! XOXO
Happy Birthday, Susan. 59 can be a great age and I hope it brings you much pleasure. Thank you for the beautiful photos of Paris. I’m happy for you that you discovered Paris and seem to be having many opportunities to visit one of my favorite cities. Between the ages of 35 and 60, I visited Paris many, many times until fate intervened. The great thing about Paris is that it remains in your mind and in your heart even if you cannot physically be there.
Hapy Birthday!!! What fun to spend it together today!!!
An exceptionally happy birthday to you, my friend! Here’s to a great year!
A very happy birthday to you. Paris is always lovely through your camera lens! Thanks for the excursion!
Happy birthday, Susan! Have a beautiful day!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Les Jardins du Luxembourg are always a good idea.
Lovely photos!
bisous
Suzanne
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the stroll!
Happy 59th from another 1957 baby! You’re about 5 months ahead of me. Thank you for the fabulous photos so we can all have a bit of Paris in our hearts today. I hope your day is full of many pleasures, big and small.
Happy birthday to you! Have a lovely day!
I thoroughly enjoy your blog with my morning coffee!
That was very generous of you, a gift of Paris shared with us on your birthday. Bon anniversaire!
Happy Birthday! I truly hope you have the greatest, greatest day! I also thank you for gifting us with these great photos! When are you going to be in France? I’ll be there in June through the beginning of July! I’m sure you are counting the days! XOXOXO!
Bon anniversaire! Thanks for the stroll of my favorite city!
Happy birthday to you and wishing you the best year yet!
Happy Birthday! I am right behind you with birthday in August!
Happy Birthday and thank you for the lovely stroll!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and looking forward to our rendez-vous this year.
Happy Birthday Susan! And not to worry, each year is better as we become our true selves! Thanks for pics, I needed that-cold gloomy day here in Kentucky & I am months away from Paris!!!!!!!!!
Mine is next week- no wonder we are kindred spirits!

So, now I see — you are not only a good writer, but a brave one! Living in LA, and sharing your age is BRAVE in my estimation!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY. . .Miss 59. You are an inspiration to us all. Love the photos. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday, I know how you feel, I will turn 58 on April 1st. Paris is my favorite place on earth. I was fortunate enough to spend 4 days there last summer, by myself, just wandering around and enjoying the city. It was heavenly, as are these photos.
Happy Birthday! Everything on your birthday is calorie-free and all transgressions are forgiven in advance. Have a blast.
Such beautiful photos. Thank you.
Joyeux anniversaire, Sue, et merci bien pour la balade a Paris!
Happy birthday!
Joyeux Anniversaire, Feliz Cumpleanos!!!
Happy, happy, happy birthday, lovely Sue. You are the youngest looking 59-year-old I’ve ever seen. Joyeux Anniversaire!
Happy birthday. Enjoy your day. It was great to revisit Paris via your great photos.
Happy Birthday! I went to Paris in December for my 58th birthday. It was not as green as in your photos but every bit as fun.
People who say “But you’ve already been to Paris” just don’t understand, do they? 5 weeks to go for me and counting down the days:)
Happy Birthday!
Happy Day! Wonderful Weekend.
Happy Birthday. It is also my birthday today. I am 56 and like you am very open about my age. I will be in Paris in late April before travelling to The Netherlands to see family. Have a great weekend, Maryann
Bon anniversaire! (I went to Paris for my 59th and 60th birthdays! 61 now)
Wonderful! I am dreaming of Paris myself. Have a beautiful birthday Susan!
Happy Birthday and best wishes to you for a wonderful day, week, and year! I’ve already told you that you are my style guru and thanks to you, I already know what I’ll be packing to leave cold Wisconsin and arrive in Napa for my birthday this coming Thursday (53rd year) and we’ll be staying at my favorite B&B (Cedar Gables) with the best inn-keepers ever, hiking, biking, cooking lessons, and of course, tasting wine.
Bon anniversaire de pres de la tour Eiffel!
Happy Birthday! And for sharing your lovely photos! I felt like I was back in Paris!
Happy Birthday Susan. Best wishes for a wonderful and stylish year!
Happy, happy birthday! I am seven weeks older than you . I hope it is a great year for both of us, and here’s hoping that that NEXT birthday doesn’t freak us out……..
Happy Birthday! I celebrated a signicant birthday in Paris….nothing better.
Happy Birthday! Your posts about Paris remind me of that stunning red bag you picked out at Ines de la Fressange. Hope you’ve been enjoying it!
Hello again I have just come back from a walk around the Eiffel Tower and at the market place d’iena and I said hello to the Eiffel Tower for you on this special day. .. your blog is great and I thought you deserved a special wink from Paris.

Happy Birthday Susan! I turned 60 yesterday and it was a wonderful day, I hope yours was too! It’s been 24 years since I visited Paris but looking through your photos I felt like it was yesterday. Thank you!
I do hope you thoroughly enjoyed your Birthday. May the year ahead be absolutely wonderful.
Fifty-nine is the new thirty-nine!! Happy birthday, Susan, and thank you for posting such a lovely gift to us today! I’ve only been once, but also saw the chestnuts in bloom. Delightful!
Happy Birthday, Susan!
I turned sixty several months ago and can say that this milestone is a daily reminder to me to keep moving and learning.
I wish you a blessed life this coming year–enjoy it like none other.

My birthday last week as well…. 61 and not really counting. Just back from a lovely weekend in Paris – favourite city in all the world. Loved seeing these photos and about to sit down and prepare post on Paris so a great inspiration.
Happy birthday to a fellow March baby! Many, many happy returns. 🙂
Happy birthday a bit late. Thanks for the wonderful photos and for bringing back happy memories.
