Paella
Papa’s Wife made lunch for me on Sunday. (OK, I wasn’t the only person there, but the paella was made special for me). Papa, Brother-in-Law, The German, and The Husband, all came along to eat paella with me. And this guy was there too… {Ruby, aka Prince Philip} The paella is cooked outside in a gigantic pot……

Shopping In Aix
Next Friday, The Cousin is marrying his lady who will thenceforth be known as Mrs. Cousin. In honor of the blessed event (and me getting to rock some serious shoes) a new purse is needed, as well as a new shirt for The Husband (much less important obviously). And it turned out that The Husband’s…

The Husband's Birthday
Yesterday, was The Husband’s birthday and to celebrate, I did something I rarely do, I baked (I’m a cooker, not much of a baker). (And if you remember a couple posts back, it was Brother-In-Law’s birthday only a few days ago… guess what Papa likes to do in September… bowchickabowwow). We have a teeny tiny…

Friday Happy Hour
Friday and I was in a summery vacation kind of mood. Le Petit Village was buzzing with tourists (Parisians, and Belgians, and Germans… oh my!). And with the beautiful weather, it felt like I was on vacation too. Screw the ironing! We should be outside with pastis, cold beer, and rosé (if it feels like this…

not sober Today is my last day in Dublin. Tomorrow morning I’m on a plane to Marseille and headed back to Le Petit Village life (and regularly scheduled blog posts). The Husband is excited, he doesn’t do ‘alone’ very well. Since I’ve been gone, Baby Cousin, The Gypsy, and The Spaniard, have all slept over. (can’t you…

Happy Things
This time next week I will be on the plane en route to Marseille and back to life in Le Petit Village. I’m missing The Husband and Fifty. Ten days without my furry little angel cuddling up to me and The Husband’s huffing and puffing has left me feeling a bit vacant. To combat that…

New Home Hunting Take 2
Potential Home 2… Like the first house we looked at, this one was also twenty minutes down the road and on the way to Papa’s house. Anything close to Papa’s house is a bonus. I like spending time there. Papa’s Wife is one of the few people I can communicate in French with, because she…

Huffing and Puffing
You know how I’m always going on about The Husband’s Gallic huffing and puffing, and how it doesn’t take much to set it off. Like how he huffs at the grocery store or when doing anything he doesn’t like or when he has to wait even the slightest amount of time for something (patience is not…

New Home Hunting Take 1
The Skippie Team (aka, The Husband, Monsieur Fifty, and me) is looking for a new home. Since our current cozy little abode was The Husband’s before I moved in, it’s a fine size for one single man, kind of big enough for the two of us, but you throw an ever growing Fifty into the…
