I was in a bookstore about a month ago and picked up The Affair by Colette Freedman. I don’t know if it was the pink coat on the cover that caught my eye or the winter tree in the foreground. In any case, I picked the book up. The blurb in the back didn’t interest […]

This Silence Is Me Writing
November 21st, 2012 · By Lynn
There are so many different things I want to post on my blog, but no time to write them! It’s terrible! For example, I’ve been to a number of good (and not so good) restaurants here in Paris that I would love to talk about, there are quite a few books I’ve read that I […]

Rolling Ladders
May 18th, 2012 · By Lynn
A few years ago I won a contest online for having the best library out of all the contestants and I didn’t even need a rolling ladder at the time. Now I have the library I’ve always dreamed of having and with our 9 foot ceilings, I can definitely use a rolling ladder, but for […]

A Week In Normandy For One - In Front Of The Computer For Another
September 7th, 2011 · By Lynn
The week went by so fast! Patrick went to Cherbourg to see his parents and took a side trip with his mom to Deauville and Honfleur. I’m not crazy about Deauville (too Rodeo Drive for me) but I love the little seaport town of Honfleur with its colorful buildings and art galleries. Not to mention […]

The Beauty Of The Southwest
March 13th, 2010 · By Lynn
El Paso: I love El Paso! It’s a place where you can breathe because of the vast openness of the desert. A place where the stars are as big as ripe apples and you feel that you can reach out and pluck one down from the sky. I see the beauty that surrounds this border […]

“Rude-nella” Opps! Lunella Restaurante New York City
January 24th, 2010 · By Lynn
Okay, so another person came up with the name, “Rude-nella”, describing Lunella’s restaurant in Little Italy, but the name is so appropriate when talking about the place, I just had to use it!
We had been walking all day, from the Statue of Liberty to the financial district, over to Ground Zero, Chinatown and finally making […]

Cirque du Soleil - Banana Shpeel
November 1st, 2009 · By Lynn
The one time I was fortunate enough to see the Cirque du Soleil, it was their show Alegría, which means joy or happiness in Spanish. A very appropriate name indeed!
If you’ve ever been to the Cirque du Soleil, then you know it’s more than just a show and nothing like you’ve ever seen! Their troups […]

The Blood Of Flowers - A Great Read
October 13th, 2009 · By Lynn
Have you ever wondered what makes you pick up one book and pass by another? Is it the cover of the book - or the title that catches your eye? Do you read what others are saying about the book on the back, or what the story is about on the the jacket; or do […]

Geraldine Larrosa As Inez In Zorro
August 13th, 2009 · By Lynn
After all my drama(!)….. on a lighter note, it’s good to have Geraldine back in France! Yes she’s busy rehearsing, looking for an apartment, and catching up with a lot of our old friends, but I’m sure all you Geraldine Larrosa fans already know that she’ll be playing the role of Inez in the musical comedy […]

Billy’s Blog - A Void
July 11th, 2009 · By Lynn
As I commented on Billy’s blog (Billy’s Lines of Gibberish) I’m always learning new and interesting facts from many of the posts that he writes. His latest post happens to be about the French writer, Georges Perec who wrote a 300 page novel back in 1969 called La Disparition which was translated into English as […]
