Holiday Highlights
La Bourboule… try and say it I dare you! It feels funny and makes your lips and tongue do something pretty strange, something American mouths are not used to doing. French mouths have no problem, they have rather talented lips and tongues. But I digress, La Bourboule (I just wanted to type it again because…

Spreading Holiday Cheer
Tis the season to spread holiday cheer and for my part, spreading holiday cheer means candy. But not just any candy, Baileys Truffles candy. Nothing can spread holiday cheer faster than Baileys and my heavy hand. Candy for all my favorite Le Petit Villagers; the Honey’s, Papa and his Wife, Boyfriend’s Brother, and the postman.…

Two Cards and An Ornament
Chez moi is the lamest Christmas house on the block. Seriously, the decorations (or lack thereof) are pathetic. This year we got Fifty instead of a tree. And I’m very thankful for my little buddy but we can’t decorate Fifty. He’s just not down with the gold garland necklace. Where the tree would have stood,…

All I Want For Christmas Is For It To Stop Snowing
Monsieur Snowman is vacationing in Le Petit Village. Last Sunday the weathermonsieur advised that we were in for a cold week. An icy wind was blowing in from Eastern Europe and with it snow. Thank you my former communist comrades. And oh how he was right. It’s freaking freezing. Like Russia cold. It’s beautiful and…

It's A Wonderful Sunday

Monsieur Snowman blessed us with a full five centimeters. Not a huge amount, but after living in Dublin for six years (plenty of rain, no snow) and Texas…

Some Random Turret, C'est Normal
We went to the vet yesterday, Fifty needed a vaccination. But since Le Petit Village is too tiny to have it’s own vet, a trip to Forcalquier was in order. You may remember that Forcalquier is the lovely market village where I bought mon panier rouge, so I am very fond of this village and…

Sunrise, Right On Schedule
So me and Fifty are on a schedule. And that schedule is working 98% of the time (a little guestimate on my part). The 2% of the time when it doesn’t work, is when the Boyfriend messes with it. I’m not going to go into details, he knows what he did (the Boyfriend, not Fifty),…

It's All About Fifty
My life in Le Petit Village has stalled. The only thing that is happening right now is Fifty. It’s all about Fifty. Because I’m bound determined to turn that puppy into a good dog, I’ve become obsessed with puppy training. Puppy training requires a schedule. And that schedule has been written out and taped to…

Le Woof Woof
Something happened on our way to pick out the Christmas Tree… …we picked up this little guy instead. His name is Fifty, he’s three months old, and he snores. Loudly. And if you don’t take him for a walk IMMEDIATELY after drinking water, he piddles. And he likes to chew fingers. But he’s adorable and…
