Grease: Papa's Wife Version
Sometimes something happens here that makes me feel better about all the little mistakes I make while butchering the French language. For instance, when a French person flubs something in English, that usually makes me feel pretty warm and fuzzy. Sunday it was Papa’s Wife’s turn to make me feel good with her rendition of the…

shotgun wedding
{the bride and her Papa} It almost didn’t happen, but Brother-in-Law got married on Saturday. Child Bride was rushed to the hospital Thursday and we all thought La Petite was trying to come early so she could attend the wedding too.

A Nice Stinky Day
Easter Monday, Papa’s Wife and I went to the markets in Forcalquier. The Husband wouldn’t be joining us, Papa needed him to help chop down trees in the forest. That sounds very manly, doesn’t it? And I think the fact that Papa suddenly had to chop down those trees on Easter Monday and needed The…

One of the most difficult things about moving to Le Petit Village was leaving my family. I have an amazing family, love my family. And I’m not talking about just the nuclear, I love my entire family, the whole kit and kaboodle; aunts, uncles, their spouses, and dozens upon dozens of cousins. We’re tight like…

I'm A Girl Genius
Learning a new language is tricky and can be slow going. The way my French is at the moment; I can understand the majority of conversation and I can speak slowly to certain people. I think the certain people part has to do with feeling at ease. For instance, I can sit with Papa’s Wife…

Getting ready to leave, The Boyfriend grabbed the car keys and Fifty. I…
