Squares is back once again after a long hiatus. This challenge is hosted by Becky @ The Life of B. May’s topic is about Burgeoning – Move Forward – Reconstruct – Renew.
This photo was taken in Paris last year, a tourist boat moving forward along the River Seine.
Renewal and Reconstruction of Notre Dame
I had a few days in Paris last year with a friend and her husband used to like to sit and watch the progress of the rebuilding of this famous landmark.

It must have been interesting to watch them match something so unique as they repair Notre Dame. My husband would love to take a river cruise somewhere in Europe next year for our anniversary.

That’s a beautiful state. I’ve been to parts of it briefly on a Civil War Tour I went on several years ago. I loved Charleston.
