A Lady In France

Things We’ve Been Doing

Some of the things we’ve been doing lately.

Finding spider webs

Going to daddy’s « bring your kids to work day »

where there was make-up

and entertainment

and magicians

and running through the halls

and taking the metro.

We’ve also been botching matcha

growling

celebrating Sir’s 44th birthday

and working our way through a feast

getting serenaded (Sir, that is)

by papas with guitars and families in concert

watering my orchids (which are still alive)

getting my radiator installed (finally)

washing the sheets

basking in the sunlight

and finding more spider webs

with the spider attached.  Effects of country living.

 

I promised to post this for those few readers of mine who actually live in France:

    I love seeing how the days have passed for you… maybe if my life were a wee-bit more interesting, I’d be able to do a post about what’s happening. But alas, all you’d see is my work computer, my home computer, the gym equipment and maybe some food along the way.

    Hmmm… maybe I should do this after all. 🙂

    Love your pink radiator. It’s RAD! (Pun intentded.)
    Looks like everyone ate, drank and was merry at Sir’s birthday party!

    You have been busy lately! I personally would steer clear of any and all webs, but that’s just me.

    Sir’s birthday party looks pretty amazing! And the orchids…I feel your pain. I kill them as fast as I buy them!

    Just 2 more months until I leave for Paris! I can’t wait to get on the Metro again. 🙂

    There is so much joy and celebration and beauty here,
    That I must say cheers to life done right.

    To leading by example.

    Here’s to you, my friend.
    And yours.

    Love the pink radiator too. It’s perfect!
    And is that Line 14? I wish I cold take my kids on it, sit in the front, and pretend we’re driving.

    I love the color of the radiator : ) I’m having my 2nd anniversary blog party tomorrow. Please stop by. I will be highlighting your blog…. once again.

    Love the spider webs, the radiator, and the sheets! The smell of laundry hung outside to dry is wonderful. I’d also like to say that I’d really like to work somewhere with magicians, makeup, and hallway running. I don’t suppose they let grownups do that, do they?
