How about starting the month du bon pied ? (off on the good foot) I do not know if I should really count the number of times when I started, yet never finished this project. But this past weekend, I decided to dig into the zillions of pictures I have, and finally gave life to [...]

Tree from my Childhood Even the nicest things and times have to come to an end. I am still enjoying the last days of my trip to France, transiting through Paris before coming home. And you know, this explains where I am, and why I have been somewhat silent: I have been busy enjoying the [...]
