The First Raclette
For those of you who have been with me for awhile, I’m sure you’re looking at the title of this post and are all like, “first Raclette, my hiney the first Raclette!” And you would be right, because heaven knows, I’ve been around the Raclette block more than once. But this post is about the […]

like whoa
Well, that was a busy couple of weeks. It was almost two weeks ago that Gregory left, and since he did, I’ve been a spinning top, whirling about here and there, trying to do this and that. First off, Fifty got sick. Somehow he managed to get something stuck in his poor paw and it caused […]

60 days, blah, blah, bupkis
Bonne Année tout le monde! Seven days into 2015 already… file that under ‘mind blown’. So Gregory is on his way back to France this morning after the fastest four weeks in history. It was a whirlwind of a visit, but a truly wonderful one. Now it’s time for us to get back to gloomy, […]

The Whipping Father
Not Le Père Fouettard, but Fifty, in his reindeer antlers. He hates me. Bonjour, la veille de Noël, we meet again. How in the name of all that’s Christmas is it December 24th again? If it wasn’t for the big move and the whole Green Card brouhahah, I swear, it feels like I was just in Toulon […]

one week
Here we are, one week into Gregory’s winter visit already and I have to say, it feels like he never left. We morphed back into real, normal, life right quick, but I’m pretty sure that the rotten colds we had helped that out some (key takeaway: mucus is not sexy). As what could probably go down […]

tis the season to be jolly
Bonjour lundi! This may be the first Monday, in the history of Mondays that I’ve ever been happy to see, and the reason for my happiness; Gregory will be here in only two more sleeps! I can hardly believe it! He’s going to be here for four whole weeks, and while that isn’t forever, it’s […]

c'est moi
Hi, c’est moi, Sara Louise! Fáilte to my ex-expat blog, and merci for stopping by. For the past ten years, I lived overseas, first in Dublin, and then in France. Now, I’m back in the U.S. (the Texas Hill Country at the moment), setting down roots with my French husband and French dog. But before I was […]

Port Grimaud and Cavalaire-sur-Mer
Cavalaire-sur-Mer You know, there has been so much going on here lately what with Thanksgiving, Gregory’s green card issues, and just life in general, that I still haven’t gotten around to finishing up the tales of my trip back to France last July, so gather around kiddos, because that’s what I aim to do today. […]

heartbroken
(This post is a follow up to ‘Still Frustrated’, which continued on from, ‘Frustration‘) Well that’s that then.After five weeks of trying everything I could to finally get my Congressman’s office to request Gregory’s Green Card be processed sooner rather than later (instead of merely checking on the status as they seemed to be content to do), I […]

Behind The Photos XIX
Today’s edition of Behind The Photos picks up a couple of weeks where the last one left off… Gregory and I had celebrated our first wedding anniversary in Lyon, and sadly, the day after we returned home, my father passed away. So we went to the States for a couple of weeks, but when we […]
