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…

Escape From LPV Mountain
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. That’s a fact you know. Last week when the going was really tough (due to the life hiccup we experienced) The Husband and I decided that we needed to get going… right out of town. We wanted to relax, just the two of us, no Gatz.…

a blogapalooza & a goodbye
Hang in there kids… it’s a going to be a long one… On a very grey and wet Saturday in November, seven expat bloggers braved the rain to meet up for lunch in a tiny Corsican restaurant in Avignon for Blogapalooza, the second (the first one was in Aix last March). Some of the same faces were…

Avignon with the Ladies
I’m back y’all! Jet lagged and a bit all over the shop, but back. Plus, I brought a friend from Texas with me… Disco Gayle has descended upon Le Petit Village to reign down her loveliness and keep me company… a soft landing to get over the after holiday homesickness if you will (Disco Gayle…

when I should have been at home
Remember when I told you that I went to Avignon when I wasn’t fully over the flu and probably shouldn’t have gone (OK, definitely shouldn’t have gone) but went anyway? Yes? Good. The reason I went was Gatz, aka The Husband’s hetero-life partner. Remember last summer (maybe not since last summer was a long time…

Provence Lampoons Family Vacation: Part 3
Because we live in a teeny house (or as I may refer to it from now on; a bungalow) I had planned our itinerary to get us out and about as much as possible and to tucker everyone out. Monday morning destination: Forcalquier Market. Normally, the Monday morning market in Forcalquier is like a field of…

I Love Your Blog
Since the cat is out of the bag and everyone knows what I was really doing on vacation, I’ll tell you about the days leading up to it… which can best be described as a series of unfortunate incidents. Let me elaborate… a series of unfortunate incidents are not major life altering catastrophes, nothing tragic…

Like The Boyfriend In A China Shop
We made a visit to Baby Cousin’s shop in Avignon. The Boyfriend and I are going stateside in March and we wanted to pick him up some new clothes for the trip. Baby Cousin’s shop only sells men’s clothes (although I did buy a really cute button down in x-small that I’m loving at the…

The Last Saturday
There was something sad about Saturday. Sure it was the weekend, but it heralded the beginning of the end of the holiday season. With New Years over and work looming on Monday, Saturday sort of felt just like a regular Saturday, but being the 2nd of January, I guess it was. We decided to take…

A Very Grown Up NYE
New Years Eve at N & Honey B’s house in Avignon. N & Honey B are one of those fabulously grown up couples who make me feel like I am a teenager even though I’m a couple of years older than they are. They have a grown up house, perfectly designed and decorated. Everything bought…
