il neige
This is what’s happening… I want to post Toulon Part Deux, and show you what happened with Brother-in-Law, the office chair, and the Hello Kitty mask, but I’m waiting for Mr. London to send me something that is absolutely vital to the post (trust me on this one), and as soon as Mrs. London can…

you can't, you won't and you don't stop
W H E W ! It’s that season again here in The LPV… BBQs, BBQs, and more BBQs. Not that I’m complaining, but sometimes a BBQ during the day turns into a party at night and then I tend to end up a big ol’ M.E. double S, never being at home, neglecting a sad…

Snails… From the garden to the table in only two weeks. Or you can keep them as pets. (I think I’ll call this guy Melvin) bisou

pooh-pooh
Children’s books; English vs. French: English version… French version: {pissed off mole} (Translation:The Little Mole Who Would Like to Know Who Poohed on His Head) English: 0, French: 1 bisou

4 Days At French Mommy's : A Photo Review
{La Bourboule} We left Le Petit Village at 9am. Under normal circumstances we would arrive in La Bourboule right around 3pm. But circumstances are never normal; it took us two hours to reach Avignon. Two hours! We normally make it there in under an hour. The abnormal culprit… {I hate cars} Fifty threw up twice before we…
