Another Little Escape
It’s been a little quiet here the last week or so as I was with guests, then headed to France for a few days to see friends and enjoy the sea. There is something different in the vibe and energy with those in the Var, where I go to visit. Perhaps, it is the closeness…

Happy 48th To Me!
When I was younger, I really had no interest in celebrating my birthday. It seemed like an unnecessary moment of bringing attention to myself, which was something that I actively spent time on avoiding. If I was not noticed, I would not get unwanted attention from leery male eyes. If I was not noticed, I…

A Bit of Holiday in Western France
Although our lives are admittedly in the realm of “every day is a holiday”, we did take a week to really be on holiday. M has always wanted to surf in the Atlantic, so we headed that direction from our place in the Var, France. To break up the journey a bit, we revisited a…

Escaping the Rain
How another week has gone by so quickly is one of those endless mysteries of life. 🤷🏽♀️ I thought that I would have more time to write or do so-called normal activities even with almost a week in France, but somehow that didn’t quite happen. 🤪 We hit the road late on Wednesday last week…

Ankle Recovery: Week Three @France
We got the OK to take a few days off to go to France last week, so we packed up the car and set off on our road trip to Lorgues. Late last year, we agreed to rent an apartment for a year in the area where we started our European adventure in October 2020.…

Thoughts from Montmartre
There’s a vibe that wafts of creativity and reverberates an awakening deep within the soul. The inner creative envies the artistic skill of those who can draw the lines that reflect the curves and personality of an individual. Yet, at the same time one is inspired to weave together words and phrases that can similarly…

Road Trip: Paris to Lorgues
As I mentioned in my last post, we took a road trip to break up our drive back from Paris in June. Since I really haven’t seen much of France, it was the perfect chance to stop into, drive through, and explore just a few of the many amazing small villages and lesser known cities…

Europe Phase II Part 2 update
Well, it’s been a hot minute since I last updated on our status between France and Italy. My last post on this left us with an upcoming trip to Paris to sort out what we thought was going to be an easy and straightforward application for a Type D (multiple entry) visa. So, here’s an…

Lavender Season in Provence
One of the images that I have always had of the Provence area has been of lavender. Somehow, though, I had completely forgotten about the season and so when my social media started showing pics from others of their forays into the fields to get that quintessential shot, I determined we needed to make a…

16 Months of Togetherness
Yes, pictures are coming, but saving that post for when I have fewer words to share. 😅 M went on a trip for mostly business, but a little pleasure (for both of us) this week. He left on Tuesday afternoon and returns on Saturday evening. His original plans were to combine a stop in Spain…
