Memory of the Moment
So...a bit of the first Sunday like pause there, I'll go ahead and share a Christmas memory. PLEASE feel free to replace mine anytime...
I loved the Christmas markets! I drive often on one particular road here in town where one business is building these tiny little cabins that are about 8 ft by 6 ft. Each time I pass them, I am reminded of the little wooden Christmas cabins that sold Gauffres with powdered sugar or nutella and Santons. Two I remember were in St. Germain-En-Laye and at La Defense. I can picture walking through the marche' and it was lightly snowing, lights were glittering from the little cabins. My girls now "carefully play" with the Santons I brought home. Joyeux Noel ladies...

Happy Birthday Wysteria,
I love you. I still can't believe how fast time has gone by since we shared our first french lessons. Good times. ... So, here are some thoughts on you sweet lady. I love your ability to tell a story, you kept my stomach muscles going whenever I was around you because of your way to communicate funny and yet sometimes awkward or painful experiences. I'm trying to remember one you told about a pumpkin and a knife...
I love your connection to the past, through movies and literature. I could picture you living in the times of Jane Austen and I always admired how you could capture the spirit of that time, especially since I lean a bit on the tom-boy side.
I think the first time outside of a class that I sat down to seriously paint something was with you, one sunday there at my grandma's old house. Thank you for inspiring me to try, I'm still trying.
May this coming year be one in which you have plenty of faith, smiles and chuckles and have the strength to fight the tougher days, as you have before, with the same beautiful sense of humor.
Con molto affetto....your italian sister, I.L.
I just read about your big news Wysteria, Congratulations! That is great. Good luck preparing.
Where will this exhibit be?
YAY! Thanks girls! this means SO much to me that you remembered me on my birthday. You guys rock. I just made it back into the country today and will be planning a blog on the beauties of Argentina very soon.
I love you both. I love our honesty, our friendships, and our abilities to keep these bonds alive, even when our lives all take us different places.
Bisous!!
My mom brought me a present for you back from Boston-they only had small. I hope it's the right size for you. I'll get it sent soon. What's your address though.
Sunflower,
So happy to hear from you. Everytime we are in Utah we have intentions to call and get together with you guys...so much for intentions right?! We are back in AZ, but will be done in December and then who knows where. If you email me (listed on profile page) then I can give you our address. It would be great to catch up!! love you.
