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…
September 2013 Grocery Haul
Lisa and I did our monthly grocery haul in Norman yesterday. My mom was going to go with us but wasn’t feeling well. Hopefully next time! As always, Lisa and I had a nice day together, including a delicious lunch at Tres Cantina. And as always, it was a challenge to get everything put away…

The Value of a Homemaker
Hosted by Living, Learning, and Loving Life, Cabin Goddess, and Tea with Dee. For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women. These days it seems that some people want us to be ashamed of being women. They want us to believe that we’re less: less intelligent, less important, less human….
Menu Monday ~ September 16, 2013
Click here for more menu ideas! Monday: I’ve got a hair appointment at 1:00 p.m. and hopefully will be going swimming with my daughter afterwards.

Today was the annual Amish auction in Clarita. Lisa and I went with our friend, Mary, as we had done last year. The weather couldn’t have been better – low 70s with a cool breeze. AND we remembered sunscreen this time. We wandered through a large covered area of vendors and then opted to eat…
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…
National T.V. Dinner Day
Did you that today is National T.V. Dinner Day? And do you know the story behind them? Check out this short video: Interesting, huh? Did you grow up eating T.V. Dinners? We did occasionally. Mom let us each pick out our favorite and as I recall, we did eat them in front of the t.v….
Project Of the Week (POW)
I got a “brilliant” idea this morning at about 6 a.m. while I was trying to decide if I’d be able to go back to sleep. David had to leave early and will be away this week on business. That’s when I decided I ought to pick a project to tackle while he’s away. I…
