the summer fate date
Weeks ago, Kirsty, Aidan and I decided that we needed to start planning our next date because the last time we were all together was April Fools Day and that was practically forever and a day ago, and with summer flying by the way it is, if we didn’t hurry up and do something, we’d…

le baptême
{a fairy tale christening} I have failed you my friends. La Petite was christened and I was without a camera to capture all of The LPV goodness (and trust me, there was loads) so I will do my utmost to describe it as best as I can. By the way, me not having my camera…

the way we were
{BFFs} ++ Honey Jr and Honey’s Honey came over for l’apéro Thursday evening. Fifty was so excited when I told him and as soon as he heard their car driving up, he started F R E A K I N G out. His tail was moving so fast I thought he was going to take off. …

let the photos do the talking
I’m all jumbled. Between the Brazil Day, Louisette’s 90th birthday, Suzy-Q being here, then Sarah from Texpats Abroad and her husband visiting, plus La Petite’s christening (all in the space of three weeks), I’m a little overwhelmed and don’t even know where to begin to tell you all about everything. So, I’m going to let…

agence tous risques
Has anyone been watching the new Dallas? I have. And watching that old rascal J.R. get up to his dirty tricks again, reminded me of a post I did awhile back comparing the American opening credits of Dallas (i.e.; the normal theme song) to the French version, which I think we can all agree is…

the cat is out of the bag
ta da! The Husband’s name is Gregory (not the French version, Grégoire) and he’s a Cancer.He likes wrestling with Fifty, eating raw meat, sipping Rosé on the beach with Mr. London, and if he had been born a girl, he would have been named, Elodie, so I like to call him that from time to…

prepare yourself, you know it's a must
{La Petite taking her Tonton for a walk} Not wanting my memory and thus my blog post to go the way of Brazil Day, at Papa’s Wife’s mother’s 90th birthday lunch, I frantically scrawled bits of information on a red napkin, prompting The German to ask me if I was writing my memoirs, to which…

itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikinis
We didn’t actually wear itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikinis but that would have been fun. I also don’t know what that has to do with Brazil Day but it’s out there now, so there you go. Honey Jr’s and Brother-in-Law’s, Brazil Day, was held last week in a village even smaller than…

talk to you in awhile crocodile
{photo: Honey’s Honey} FYI… I’m going to be missing for a few days, but it’s not like the last time when it was because something bad happened. This time it’s because something really good is happening… my friend, Suzy-Q, is visiting from London for a few days (well actually she’s coming from Dublin, even though…

I had some dreams there were clouds in my coffee
The title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything. I’ve had Carly Simon stuck in my head for days, I’m hoping this might exorcise her. ++ As I packed up our hotel room on the Sunday morning in Avignon, The Husband was watching X-Men First Class and refusing to get up and…
