Moirax

D and I went for a visit in the country when I first arrived here. We went and stayed at his Mothers house while they were away to the mountains. While we were there we went up to the town nearby called Moirax. Standing in the center of this town is a church that is approximately 1000 years old. Now I don't know about you but I have never been inside a building that old. Where I'm from they...

French Lesson

My sister sent this to me today and I know it's a bit old but I certainly found a few laughs from it *^_^* Enjoy!...

we'll be riiiight back....

Sorry for the small delay in updating this blog. I feel like I'll never catch up. I still haven't written about our visit to the old church in Moirax or our visit to the mountains. The truth is I barely spend any time on the computer these days and when I do it's been on my language software. I am going CRAZY not knowing French. I hate going places and not understanding anything. We had to go do our...

of Raclette and wandering into the countryside

I am slowly starting to get my frog legs! I have already ventured out for a dinner with one of D's friends and then we had a dinner party ourselves. We had a raclette night! D's good friend from Moirax is on vacation and he and his girlfriend drove up to see us. Since they were coming D invited another friend over also and decided raclette would be perfect. Raclette is a type of cheese but it is...

Bordeaux

On Friday, after resting up the entire week, D took me into the city center to do some exploring. When we got off the tram at the square it was full of little booths. They were mainly of clothes and shoes and we wandered down the street past them and tried to steer through the HUGE crowds of people. D explained that it was Friday afternoon and most people got off work early and they were all out enjoying...

Well having slept forever that first day and night, the next day D was desperate to get out of the house for food. Having arrived at the apartment on Saturday July 14th and it being a holiday, there had been no way to stock up on food for the apartment except to run out to one of those small epiceries which is much like a corner store back home in the states. So...Monday I set out on my first adventure...

On Flying to France

The trip to France Saturday, July 14th I was surprised this morning by Renae bringing me Orange Juice and coffee to my bed. What a treat ^^ She is such a sweet person! After taking my time waking up, we sat down to a delightful breakfast consisting of an asparagus omelette, apple chicken sausages and a nice bowl of Rainier Cherries and pineapple. After our meal it was off to the airport. I was so...

My Visit to Illinois

I had a wonderful time in Illinois visiting my sister and my kids. The first two days I basically laid around and slept. I've been running on empty for days on end and I think I was on the point of exhaustion. I took TWO naps one day! On Sunday the kids and I went to visit my brother and his wife and daughter. They had a wonderful BBQ for us. Stormy cooked up a wonderful meal and we had a good...

I left Seattle to go to my sisters house on July 4th.This is a shot of the Grand Canyon as I flew over it.SO finally the day has arrived and I travel to my sister's house in Illinois for a 10 day visit before going to France. OMG has it been a crazy day. We prepared all the boxes for shiping and my daughter and her boyfriend...

I have arrived!

Just thought I would let everyone know I'm here! D has had me running around like a chicken with it's head off and I've barely had time to get used to our apartment. We are leaving again today for the mountains but I promise after I return I'll take time to sit down ad post all the things I've jotted down during my travels. Ci...
