rendant grâce
This is Sam. Sam was my grandmother’s grandfather, and like my Nana, he was a Wampanoag. His photo is here because the Wampanoag were the kind and generous folk who brought the food to the first Thanksgiving. I’m sure if Sam was still alive today, he would simply say, “you’re welcome” (I had to have…

Playing The Help
Back in July, when I was in France visiting Gregory, I happened to be there for The London’s wedding anniversary. Figuring they would be going out for the evening to celebrate, and Gregory would probably be working, I looked forward to a date with myself; Chinese takeaway, Sky TV, and a bottle of Rosé, but…

Top 10: Things I Love About Dublin
Before transitioning to C’est Moi, Sara Louise, Sara in Le Petit Village was an expat in France blog for over four years. But before being an expat in France, I was an expat in Dublin, I just didn’t blog about it. Since I’m now an ex-expat, and C’est Moi, Sara Louise is an ex-expat blog…

Sanary-sur-Mer
There is a list of places in France that I’ve always wanted to go to, but never had a chance because, you know, life. Not getting to places like Versailles I can understand, because that’s a long journey from Le Petit Village, but there were loads of places not too far that I never made…

making up for messing up
Remember how I told you about Gregory messing up our last day in Paris by booking that awkward hour of 12:49 train? Well, it turned out there was a reason for that. Gregory was surprising me with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, and that awkward, early afternoon train, was the one that would get us…

Au Revoir Paris, Bonjour Toulon
This post continues on from where this one left off, so we’re going to shake off our November blues, and travel back in time to France in July. Gregory and I had one perfect day in Paris, and I had planned on getting at least another half of one in before heading south to Toulon,…

ouf
// I can safely say, without a shadow of a doubt, that if I was still in The LPV, I would have had at least two Raclettes by now this fall. How can I be so sure? Because that’s how many Gregory has had; two Raclettes, both last week! I hate him. (j/k) // Besides…

two curly-headed tumbleweeds blew into town
Because I don’t want you to think that I spend all of my time here pining for Gregory and banging my head against the wall while waiting for Gregory’s green card, today I’m going to tell you about a night out on the town I had here with my buddy Lil’ John. (Btw, Lil’ John is…

Still Frustrated
{my life might not be a picnic right now, but my heavens, neither is Mrs. London’s} Today. Oh, today. I was going to blog about my trip to Toulon (the one I made after meeting Gregory in Paris) or a jubilant evening I had here in my little town with an old friend (keyword: shenanigans),…
