Happy Wednesday everyone! What are you up to today? I plan on spending the day baking, working on a little French Rosetta Stone, and hopefully finishing up a re-read of one of my favorite books, Tom Robbin's "Jitterbug Perfume." The sun is apparently going on vacay for the next two weeks, and it seems it's gotten rain to cover the majority of its shifts (though I never really believe any of our weather reports), so I wanted to take a minute to share some pictures of our super beautiful and sunny last few days. I'll be daydreaming about it while giving Rosetta Stone a merde-fit over my pronunciations of "quatre" and "sandwich."

A la prochain friends...

Have a sunny weekend!

Good morning! It is a rainy, grey, damp morning here in Ferney, so I thought I'd share some pictures from the beautiful, sunny, warm day we had here yesterday. I wore a light jacket and scarf and was more than comfortable trapsing around the streets, garden roads and alleys of this pretty little town that we will call home for the next 3 months. I wish I could have bottled up the sights and smells from yesterday, because it was just so wonderful and peaceful. Today the mountains have completely gone back into hiding like stealth ninjas who will remain invisible until they are ready to strike again, but it's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon, so I've got time to kill...your move Jura!

BT-dubbs: Can anyone remember the last time they saw a bunch of kiddos playing a game of tag? Because I honestly cannot. The kids in our building were outside playing tag, riding bikes, making up games, playing soccer and jumping in puddles (cliche but adorable) for hours yesterday. I haven't seen one kiddo with a cell phone/gaming system/high-tech ipod/electronic toy since we've gotten here, and it's been so refreshing. Viva la imagination! Made me smile. :)
