  • The Afterlife of Henri Girard

    My name is Henri Girard. I am a chef. Or should I say, I was a chef for the du Monde family at Montenero, their estate in Virginia. Now I have been dead a long time. Doomed to stay in the wine cellar of this estate during the daylight hours, every day since 1938、 I am what you might call a ghost.  I will tell you my story. I began my training to be a chef at the side of my Grand-maman in the French countryside. We lived in a small village where we could obtain fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs easily.

    WENDY, THE HOME SECURITY ALARMThe home alarm system went off. Again.That's it! She shook her head. She was going to get a dog. The alarm kept up its shrieking! Sheila didn't even bother wheeling around the house and checking the doors and windows this time because it sure to be another a false alarm. She'd come to hate it in the past few days even though it came with the property and promoted as a giant selling point to keep her safe. And it did. But the alarm panels were so much higher than the ADA's now-required 48 inches off the floor that she couldn't comfortably reach the controls from he...wrLone door
