I remember the elaborate facade of La Seine... but I never dined there. I think it was sold when I was still in elementary school. You may enjoy these images and articles from the Ann Arbor News, a paper I used to deliver as a kid! https://aadl.org/taxonomy/term/63343

Itā€™s easy to see that these treasured memories of people and places are difficult to give up. However the overwhelmingly gratitude you must feel for the life experiences you have had must reverberate in your soul.

Oh, this brought back wonderful memories of reading ā€œTender at the Boneā€ and becoming a Ruth Reichl fan for life! I think Iā€™m going to find that book on my shelf and read it again, not for the first time. I had a mother very similar to yours in her cooking style, so could really relate to many of your memories. Thanks for the joy you bring me while reading your books.

Iā€™ve read every single one of your books, and I have enjoyed them all and your comforting writing style. When I think of what Iā€™d like most for Christmas, itā€™s a box set of all your books beautifully bound to match the beautiful words!
