If Life is an illusion, then why do I keep banging my head against the wall?

Si la Vie est une illusion, pourquoi je n'arrête pas de me taper la tête sur les murs?

The Escargot Caper!

August 11th, 2008 · By Lynn

The first time Katia ate snails was on her 3rd birthday when Patrick and I took her to a French restaurant.  She looked at the plate and asked us, “What are they?”
I made a fist and stuck up my first two fingers bent like the tentacles of a snail and slowly moved my hand.  “They’re […]

A Slight Generation Gap!

August 6th, 2008 · By Lynn

Things change yet remain the same.  When I first arrived in Paris in 1971, I was amazed by the way the French would speak about the war (WWII) as though it had happened yesterday!  It would come up in daily conversations over and over; a remark here, or a reminder there, but for me it […]

Steer Clear of Signs and Steer!

July 30th, 2008 · By Lynn

Katia called her parents and said, “Mom!  Dad!  I almost died!”
“Uh, let me explain!” I cried, running to get the other phone so I could do some explaining! 
If anyone had read my post Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign, then you would know that if I was telling this story to Michelle she would have said, “There are signs […]

Signs, Signs,….

July 13th, 2008 · By Lynn

Part Three
A week after the “dog incident” we were on the Champs-Elysées after we had climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.  Our plan was to eat pastries and have tea at Ladurée. I mean, where else would we have gone for a lemon tart (which is my favorite), but to Ladurée! They […]

A Friend’s Passing

July 9th, 2008 · By Lynn

 
A dear friend of mine passed away and I find it hard to believe that she’s been gone a full year.  There are moments, especially when I’m driving, that I think, can she truly be gone?  Or I’ll talk to her in my mind and it’s almost as if I can hear her voice and […]

Signs, Signs, ….Cont.

July 8th, 2008 · By Lynn

Part Two: 
A few days later, Katia, Patrick and I had just left the apartment a few minutes earlier, Patrick was a few feet ahead of us looking in a shop window, when two big dogs bursted out of an apartment building unleashed. The German Shepherd came straight toward us barking at Katia. The dog was […]

Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign!

July 6th, 2008 · By Lynn

Part One: 
I had a friend, Michelle, who saw signs everywhere to the point where we all began to think she was a little crazy. If she saw a dead bird she would say, “Uh oh! I’m going to get news about someone who died.” Or if she saw people coming toward her with a suitcase […]

Falling In Love With Paris

June 29th, 2008 · By Lynn

No cell phones, no e-mails, no computers; just back to a simpler time when people couldn’t contact you at any given moment.  It was wonderful!  Yes, we did listen to the answering machine when we got home every evening, but that was all.  Katarina, Patrick and I spent our time like tourists in a city […]

Simple Joys, Simple Pleasures

May 27th, 2008 · By Lynn

Whenever I would watch the children riding the ponies at the Jardin du Luxembourg, I would always think how wonderful it would be to bring my little niece, Katarina, here as well.  As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I will bring her to the gardens soon, but I think she’s a little too big […]
