Senior (Citizen) Hottie
23
I cannot believe I’m doing this but I’m linking up with Liz at A Belle A Bean A Chicago Dog for the Senior Hottie series. Here: I actually looked kind of like her (or him), come to think of it. Now, the premise, obviously, is to show how you went from ugly-duckhood to stunning beauty … Continue Reading
Where It All Began
When I was 19 I got a passport for the first time and, with great fear and trembling, stepped on a plane bound for France.

She also has three children who are about four years older than ours, and she only lost her … Continue Reading
Grenoble
When we drove to Provence last week, we took the road sandwiched between the Alps on one side and the Massif Central on the other (the volcano region where we went last year in Auvergne).
