It’s been a lovely day, although I can’t really say there was much of a French theme to it. A Margarita isn’t French, right? Oh, I did have two mini croissants for breakfast so that counts. I had worked really hard yesterday getting all the housework done so I could do something different today. I…
French Friday…
I’m going to Tulsa with my mom today and meeting up with my sister-in-law for lunch, some shopping and then a quick hello to the niece and nephew after school before heading back home. With little time for a well-thought-out French Friday post, I decided to let the pros handle it for me. Here are…
French Friday – My special day
*UPDATED: Scroll to the bottom of the post for an important addition. I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a member of the Yahoo Group, “French Chic”. In fact, the idea for “French Fridays” came from that group. Sometimes members will share what they did to make their Fridays special. Recently, a member of the…
French Friday…An Intentional Life
For the past several years I’ve belonged to the Yahoo Group, French Chic. In fact, I first joined its earlier incarnation, Je Ne Sais Quois. Over the years I’ve vacillated between being an active participant and no mail status. Sometimes life gets busy and I just don’t seem to find the time to participate but…
French Friday…Parlez-Vous Français?
For as long as I can remember I have loved the sound of the French language. Because of that, and because I’ve long nurtured a dream of going to Paris, I ignored everyone who told me to take Spanish (I grew up in Southern California so that would seem to be a reasonable suggestion) and…
French Friday…Amélie
I love French films. In fact, that’s part of the reason I finally got glasses. I couldn’t read the subtitles across the room and my meager French is insufficient without that assistance. One of my favorites is Amélie. It is an utterly charming film and one I can watch over and over. I adore the…
French Friday…La Maison (Part Un)
I had grand plans for a lovely post all about French home life and interior design but this has been “one of those days”. Not necessarily a bad day but a rather busy one. I had a hair appointment at 10:30 this morning and a few errands to run afterwards. I then had a brief…
French Friday
One of the ways in which the French tend to differ from the typical American is in the way food is approached. While “bigger, faster, easier” seems to be the slogan here in America, the French are more likely to savor moderate portions of well-prepared food in a leisurely manner. While some of us are…
French Friday
Yes, I know this post is rather late today. We were out very, very late last night (I’ll blog about what a fabulous time we had sometime this weekend) and David left early this morning for Tulsa. He told me to go back to sleep and being the good wife that I am, I did…
