Finally!  After the entire month of November spent packing up our belongings, Patrick and I made it to my mother’s house!  We thought it would never end!

Maya Muses:  When you’re in the Keys (Key Largo, Islamorada, Key West, etc.) life seems to go at a much slower pace, but being with friends from Paris on this June 6, I just wanted to share this video commemorating D-Day!  I’ll be back in several days to pick up the slack!

If you happen to be in any of a number of large cities in France on Sunday (Paris, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse to name a few) and you’re wondering what everyone is doing marching in the streets - join them!  Believe me, it’s for a good cause!  My friend Stéphanie lost her beautiful daughter, […]
