Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

Learn French: One Word A Day

My goal for this blog is to share ideas of how to have a fine lifestyle with all the "trimmings," and to be able to do it on a budget. How perfect to have discovered a blog, that not only features a French "word a day," but also features many beautiful photos, as well as sharing their daily stories living in France.

French Word-A-Day began in 1999 when ex-pat, Kristin from Phoenix, Arizona decided to share a piece of Provence from her office in the various cafés along the French Riviera. Although she majored in French, Kristin still struggled daily with the language. What started out as handwritten café letters, eventually became blog posts, and the blog posts became books. She also shares many travel tips, as well.

Since Kristin originally started, she has decreased her journal of French words now to "thrice weekly." To learn three French words in a week, instead of seven, sounds like "C'est du gâteau!"(piece of cake!) You may also subscribe for free to French Word-A-Day, so you'll find your new French words in your email - thrice weekly. 

 If this lovely site, French-Word-A-Day doesn't get you in a French mood, then I don't know what will.
