Under My Skin

Since we've been home, I've wanted to eat nothing except what I can't have: French baguette, goat cheese, cappuccino, Nutella, croissant, etc. I had to go to H.E.B. today (not the French market) and pick up a few things.

I also managed to get some Brie, French roast coffee, and croissants. I'm forever changed! I know they won't be the same, but I think I'm an addict now.

I realize I have so much to blog about our trip...it will come. I'm trying to organize it in my head. I took 347 pictures in 24 hours (our day trip through France, Monaco, and just inside the Italian border). I have so much work to do. Hopefully I can tell my wonderful story a little bit at a time. Hopefully you're still interested by the time I finish!

Cold Front

The weather in Nice will be a delightful change to what we've got at home right now. I think I might freeze!

Lotta told me to pack a "summer jacket." What is that? We don't wear those in Texas!!

Just What I Needed, Another Distraction...

This afternoon about 3:15ish I'm sitting at my computer in my classroom when I get an email. From Lotta, my dear friend in Sweden that we're meeting in Nice on Saturday.

This lovely place is where Russ and I will be next week. When you close your eyes and think of me, picture me here, k?

Mother's Day

My mother is a poem I'll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother. --Sharon Doubiago

(In case you're wondering, THIS is what he looked like most of the time during our attempt to get a decent Mother's Day photo!!)
