Are you planning to spend a quiet night at home this Valentine’s Day? Sometimes that sounds better than dealing with the crowds on a busy holiday, right? Or maybe you have children and no babysitter. Or like in our case, no dogsitter – ha! Whatever the reason, if you find yourself at home for Valentine’s…

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…

Frankly, my dear…
I read “Gone With the Wind” for the first time when I was in 7th grade. I was immediately captivated by the story and the antebellum setting. I may have been born and raised in California but I’m convinced I lived a previous life in the “old South”. (Don’t take that comment seriously; I don’t…
French Friday…Amélie
