the end of summer

{long gone lavender}

How do you spell ‘exhausted’?

S A R A ย L O U I S E

That’s how.

It has been one big doozy of a summer. And I know I touched on the whole, summer has been long gone, thing on my last post, but for me, it literally ended like, last night at 9, when The Husband and I got home from picking up Fifty at camp (again.. the poor thing has been at camp a lot lately) and before that, Marseille airport to drop off Disco Gayle, and before that Montpellier, and before that Avignon (all in one weekend, can you believe it?!). But that’s a story for another time.

So here’s the deal, I’ve got loads to tell you, and pictures to show you, but I am a tired old girl so we’re going to do this bits and pieces like. Plus, since The Husband and I are planning on being hermits for the next few monthsย and not getting up to much, (minus a crazy November with a weekend in Avignon, a trip to Dublin, and Thanksgiving with the Conjugating Irregular Verbs crew), and I’m not going to have much to tell you, it’s best if we stretch this whole thing out. You know. And by this ‘whole thing’ I mean some tales about traveling all around the south of France, homemade pizza parties, aioli, pรฉtanque, a raclette, and toddler bar fights at Le Petit Bar. It’s been a nutty month.

But for now,ย 
I’m going to take a nap.

  13. So glad I found your blog….following a boyfriend to Provence and then marrying him?? Sounds like perfection to me. I've got my own version of perfection in Chicago, but I'm hoping one day to live in France for a bit, too ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. I'm intrigued by fifty's doggie camp. Any pictures? A neighbor of ours used to have a dog that they I think only put up at a kennel whenever they went on vacation, and after they picked him up he always sported a fancy red bandana, and no way he was letting anyone take it off. Just wondering.

  15. I also heart the Cรดte d'Azur intensely. More so than Monaco. But Monaco is also wonderfully uber trendy. Luckily for me, being a London gal, I get to fly there in just over an hour ๐Ÿ™‚ Yay to living on a small overpriced islandhttp://beingmama.com/http://ohsoprettylife.blogspot.com/
