Ana Maria and I had it all planned out to take mom to lunch at a small cafe near the River Seine after church.
"Jacques invited John to come along with us." Ana Maria told me when we met at church.
"Excellent." I said.
"I'll drive." Jacques said as we exited the church.
...and just like that somehow our plans had changed to attend a West Indies celebration just outside the Paris city limits.
Once we arrived, Ana Maria and I realized that we (and mom) were special guests of John's
for the event.
