Answer to Monday's Riddle: Have a Brownie?

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! This week we're expecting a brownie. They may be sweet, but these helpful elves are not for eating. ; ) ~ F

If you're lucky, I live in your home. I like it inside, for I'm no garden gnome. I wash the dishes while you're away, tidy things up for when you stay. I'll not take payment, for that would be rude! Dobby was strange to want more than food. My names are a few, there's Urisk and Hob, though most of my friends just call me Bob. I'm always helpful, should you abide. If not, then I'll stew and secretly hide. My kin are sweet, but we're not a dessert! We just like to clean and sweep up the dirt.  

What am I? Answer: Brownie/ House Elf

Monday's Riddle: A Hint About Helpful Hands...

Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme? I'm pretty sure the Begonia House has one of these, but I haven't caught sight of him yet.  ; ) ~ F

Strolling Along the Seine

The DMS was lucky enough to visit Paris, France. We had an amazing trip and learned so much about French history. Plus, the views around every corner are breathtaking. We wish we could have taken our lovely readers along, but since we couldn't, we thought we'd share our travels with you...







Throughout our stay the DMS was excited to see many famous spots in Paris. Today we are spotlighting one of our favorites: The Seine River. Just moments from our hotel, we could follow the river to visit many of the historic places we wanted to see. Not only was the river beautiful to look at, but the book stands, crepe stands, and other assortment of cafes, beckoned us in.

Once we were down off the streets, we saw another layer of riverside attractions, like boat tours and recreational areas.

The distance from one bridge (pont) to the next, wasn't very far, and it was fun to see how different each one was. There are over 30 bridges in Paris alone! It also gave us a chance to choose which side of the river we wanted to walk on. So much to see on either side!

As night started to settle in the reflections off the river caught our eye, illuminating some magnificent sights! No wonder so many people sit along the banks in the evening enjoying good friends, family, food, and drinks.

What a view from the Seine at night! 

Have you ever walked along the Seine or ridden on it? Do you like to be near the water? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
