oh là là, oh là là: Part 1
“I love my wine and it loves me” – Maybelline Such a weekend, it’s hard to know where to begin (Aidan, her family, and some friends descended upon Le Petit Village for two days of madness). So many happenings. So much to report. Let’s be logical and start with Friday, shall we? Aidan and her brood…

la fête du fromage
{from Billy, with love} I like cheese. I feel blessed to have ended up in France, home of about 400 different types of cheese (St. Nectaire, and Roquefort, and Cantal, oh my!). And, I’m lucky enough to live only a few miles down the road from Banon. Besides being the name of the village, Banon is…

ouefs en cocotte (with a poshy-posh accent)
On our last visit to French Maman’s, French Nana gave me some darling little red ramekins. They look like miniature cooking pots, like what keebler elves would cook with if they were more into stews than cookies. Since we’ve been home, I’ve stared at them, trying to picture what I could possibly cook inside of…

tourner à droite numbnuts
Numbnuts. The Husband called me numbnuts on our drive to French Mommy’s house. I don’t remember why, or what I did, but it was like Mozart to my ears to hear one of my favorite words come out of The Husband’s mouth, French accent and all. But then a little later, he turned out to…

stylish happenings
(DISCLAIMER: There’s supposed to be a Stylish Blogger Award button here, but blogger is being finicky and isn’t letting me upload it and I really don’t have the patience this morning so please use your imagination and picture that black square button with silver cursive here instead of this rambling note. Thank you.) This Stylish Blogger…

feels like a lifetime ago
Do you see the rainbow in this photo? Me either. But trust me, it’s there. The rainbow was in the sky hovering above us as we drove to Lyon. I took it as a good omen, and it was. My anniversary weekend in Lyon was as close to perfect as perfect can be. If Paris…

the wedding in words
Honestly I can’t tell you what the shotguns were all about (The Husband hasn’t been able to come up with a clear answer) but they were fired, and although I was sure the noise would spur Child Bride into labor, the only thing that happened was my head feeling like it had been knocked around…

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. But thankfully, La Petite was staying put, and Child Bride was told she could…

big pimpin
Look what I got… Worthington at Worthy Style has bestowed me with the Sylish Blogger Award (I’m feeling rather blinged out over here. If I could transform the Stylish Blogger badge into gold, I think I’d O.G.… as in Over Gold… and that would be ghetto fabulous). Let’s see… let’s see… seven things… here we…
