Continuing a wonderful chain of friends, introducing friends to the magic of Bourdeilles, France, we bring you this website.
Who we are is Tom and Susan Vieth. Tom is an artist. Susan keeps everything in our lives somewhat straight so that Tom can stay lost in his painting.
After 22 years of loving Vermont and having tremendous success with Tom’s art career we are making a new bold move - we are now living in Bourdeilles,France.
It all started ten years ago when Tom proposed we buy a house so he could have a settled place to make his watercolors while in France. Being the practical one Susan said, “No, that’s what one does when they are 60 - 70.” Tom’s response was that at that age we might not be able to make it to France. So 6 months later we had ‘the little house in France’.
We are now on to new adventures and this blog is being created to share these experiences as well as showcase weekly cartoons and sketches by Tom. And to keep you posted on new opportunities that we cook up--such as tours in our region of France, products from our region and watercolors from Tom’s sketch book.
Wish us luck, keep in touch and let us know if you are in the area of our small village in France. Life moves; hold on!

I love the names of Jolie's friends. Along with the personality traits depicted in Tom's cartoon. Just yesterday, I was listening to NPR which had an opera singer singing "Figaro". Wouldn't that be a fun name for a cat? Wasn't Gipetto's cat named Figaro? Next cat we get will be "Figaro", pronounced the way it is sung. Figgy, for short? Anyway, looks like Jolie is fitting right in, yet maintaining her dignity.
Jolie misses her long walks down and back on Butternut. She likes the freedom of walks and following the big dogs.
Funny I always am thinking about names for animals - I will have cats by the summer! - and the opera names are a great idea.
Then you'll truly be "home". Be sure and send pictures of an additions. Joyeaux noelle, however it's spelled!
