Mulhouse, France

March 27, 2007

Departmental agency for information about housing in Mulhouse. The snail logo is not very reassuring. Are they trying to say something without really saying it? :) Many buildings have painted images on them. I loved it! Just one of many interesting windows I saw on our trip to Mulhouse. The tower is from the 14th [...]

It was magic. I tell you! Magic!

March 26, 2007

I walked right past this without seeing it. Remember my dog doodoo radar is tuned for doodoo on the sidewalk laying in wait of my feet. This was clearly out of my radar. But, not that of an over curious four year old. Sweet Bear stopped and exclaimed, “Mais pourquoi le chien a fait caca là? Et, [...]

In need of some sugar!

March 21, 2007

Can anyone tell me where to find light brown sugar in France and how to ask for it? I made some oatmeal cookies the other day using cassonade. I found online that cassanade was suppose to be brown sugar. It isn’t the same. My cookies were dry and not as tasty. I have read online [...]

Miss Météo- Louise Bourgoin

March 21, 2007

Elle est belle! There is no way to down play her good looks. But, even better she is funny and charming. She is intellent and witty. I first saw her on in the episode below on The Grand Journal Canal+. I told Vilay, “Wow! I am a woman, but let me tell you she is [...]

Holy feet!!!

March 20, 2007

I have weighed myself each week since returning from the States. I am eating more. Yet, I have lost three kilos (around seven pounds…I think). Is it all due to walking more? I don’t know. I’m not walking THAT much more considering the fact that I was working in the States and it was physical. I [...]

Love bug

March 18, 2007

Vilay and I will be married for six years this coming May. We have been together for almost nine years. I sometimes wonder why I married him. I was crazy. Crazy in love. Even today all he has to do is kiss me hard and I forget that I was ever mad at him. I [...]

Gift from above

March 17, 2007

My leg muscles stretched in happiness as we walked in Lingolsheim yesterday. For a little over an hour and a half we passed by bakeries and shops. Window displays were full of flowers, little yellow chicks, eggs and rabbits. Trees and bushes were bursting with color. At some points the sidewalk was littered with fallen [...]

Ride with us

March 16, 2007

Vilay got upset with me when I was teasing him about priority to the right as a car ran a stop sign in the video below. It was not a priority to the right and it was the fault of the driver in the other car. Boy. Am I happy I am not a man. [...]

La Petite France, Strasbourg

March 15, 2007

Spring is here! At least for the next few days. La Petite France is beautiful all year round. La Petite France. (Notice Vilay is in many of my photos!) I filmed this passage way inside the panoramic terrace in La Petite France as I was walking through it. You can view it at the end [...]

Germs

March 15, 2007

I know what I cleaned off of my window sills at our old apartment. So, I don’t understand why someone would hang their blankets out to air while at the same time getting bird doo germs all over them. There is no way I will ever do that no matter if I live in France for [...]

Exploring letters

March 12, 2007

Sweet Bear and I sit together at the kitchen table. I ask her to tell me something about apples since this was a word that starts with a. A for apples. Sweet Bear has no problem coming up with a sentence about her favorite fruit. “I love apples!”, she exclaims. So, I draw lines for [...]

March 11, 2007

View from the village of Wangenbourg in the Vosges. Château de Wangenbourg Waterfalls of Nideck just under the Château du Nideck near Wangenbourg (we didn’t visit this castle). If you have been following this blog for a while you know that I love taking pictures of trees and sky. I couldn’t resist these two shots. [...]

Caught red handed

March 10, 2007

I took my camera out of it’s case. I started previewing and deleting pictures that I had already uploaded to my flickr account. I am stopped by an image that is labeled video. I hadn’t taken a video with the camera for months. I get out of the delete function and press ok to view [...]

Fans come in all sizes

#7 jersey is Nate, #10 is Nick, #12 is Caleb A clever girl by the name of Caity came up with this great photo idea. Everyone hates this huge statue of Jesus on I-75 near Middletown, Ohio. But, everyone likes to make fun of it, too. I about died from laughing the first time I [...]
