I’ve been so pleased with the increased participation on the French Chic Yahoo Group. I wish I had taken steps to jump-start things long ago. It seems many were quietly waiting in the wings, eager for a return to our more active days. I learned something from this: Don’t wait for someone else to do…
French Friday ~ Designing My Life
I’ve long been a member (and moderator) of the Yahoo Group, French Chic. Participation has slowed in recent years, probably because of Facebook and other social media options. But several of us are hoping to revive the group because it has, in the past, served an important role in our lives. I’ve been doing some…
French Friday ~ Girls Movie Afternoon
What a lovely day I’ve had so far. Lisa, Kadi (Chris’ girlfriend) and Addie (Kadi’s sister) came over to watch “Midnight in Paris” with me this afternoon. Addie had to leave early for a wedding but Lisa, Kadi and I enjoyed every minute. I made some homemade banana ice cream and even opened a bottle…
French Friday ~ June 21, 2013
It’s getting late and I never got around to writing a French Friday post so I thought I’d share this: And this: Be sure to check out the other Henri videos.
French Friday ~ June 14, 2013
I think what appeals to me most about the stereotypical French woman is the way in which she lives life intentionally.

French Friday
Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these. I haven’t been posting all that much lately but I’m going to get back to it. I promise! So…French Friday. Have you seen “Midnight in Paris” yet? If not, you absolutely must. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. …
French Friday – While you were sleeping…
I think my favorite recurring dream is the one where I discover a previously unknown room in my house. I know I like that one better than the “naked in public” dream, or the one where the curtain is about to open and I realize I didn’t memorize my lines. Or the one where…oh, never…
French Friday – Rest and Restore
Thank goodness it’s Friday! This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive. I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room. But you know what? I’m not doing any of those things today. The bed is made,…
