'My First Thanksgiving' by Fifty
Hi guys! It’s me Fifty. Today I’m going to tell you about my first Thanksgiving and since my mommy said it was OK, here I am. It started off on Friday. Mommy and Daddy filled the car with so much stuff, I didn’t think I’d fit too, but somehow me and my bed did and…

{notecard giveaway}
Holiday Season 2012 is officially here, and to celebrate it (and to celebrate YOU too!), I’m giving away a set of three beautifully hand drawn (hand drawn by an actual Le Petit Villager no less) notecards depicting Le Petit Village scenery (the original LPV to be exact). {each card is 4×6 and comes with a…

Thanksgiving Schmanksgiving
{that there on the left is my Massasoit great-great grandfather} The following conversation took place a couple of weeks ago:Mr. London: “But I’ve never had a Thanksgiving” Me: “That’s because you’re English”Mr. London: “But I want one” Well, since Mr. London lost to Clermont (insert evil laugh here) I thought that I should take pity on…

while you were hunting
Hunting season is well underway in The LPV. That means that most of the wives here have been abandoned by their husbands for a walk through the forest with a shotgun and a dog, while les sangliers (boar) run for their lives. Papa’s Wife is one of the hunting widows, so Sunday lunches have gone from…

{shetlands, shelties, some other stuff, and a free book}
{my little pony} ++ When I was a little girl I had a Shetland pony named Rainy Day. Rainy Day was my best friend and there isn’t a single day that goes by that I don’t think about him, so you can only imagine the level of excitement I felt when we were driving through…

it was a graveyard smash
It’s been years since I’ve dressed up for Halloween, seriously, years. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember my last Halloween costume (but I do remember being Madonna for like five years in a row when I was a kid… Madonna is the Halloween gift that keeps on giving). So this year when I…

there and back again
{sugary sweetness} I suppose I can blame Brother-in-Law. After all, it was his fault that we ended up spending the night in Toulon when he told Mr. London that there was no rush in us bringing his car back (and I missed a night of desperately needed beauty sleep) and it was his Halloween party…

it happened again
{Stade Mayol} “So RCT have a home game on Thursday…” That was the text I got from Mrs. London talking about All Saints Day (the 1st of November). All Saints day is a holiday here in France, and what better way to spend a day off than by watching Mr. London do his thing (RCT is Toulon…

Cassis, I ain't mad at ya
{waiting for the runners} (continuing on from this post…) The mistral howled all through the night. Now, I’m well used to a howling mistral. My old house in the original LPV and the mistral used to go toe to toe quite a bit, but this Marseille mistral sounded particularly angry (we saw on the news…

down under
{LPV steps} Whew! It feels like I’m here, there, and everywhere at the moment. A weekend in Marseille and Cassis, then down to Toulon and back up to The LPV with Mr. & Mrs. London in tow (I’ll be filling you in on all of that zany fun real soon). And now, I’m down under……
