A Little Personal News

Usually I don't use this blog for personal news, but a few interesting things are happening that I wanted to share.

First, today I am having lunch with a fellow blogger who chose to spend her vacation in Aveyron because of my other blog, La France Profonde! What a treat! I will tell you more about it after the lunch if she wants me to share the information.

Second, Saturday evening I was able to enjoy a "double fête" -- we were invited to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday AND that evening, France upset Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals. So the local paper's predictions of gloom and despair were wrong. This made the birthday party doubly festive.

It's been so hot that at two in the morning, we were still eating -- well, drinking at least -- outside, which is one of the great pleasure of summers here. As you can see above, an outdoor meal, especially for a birthday party, can still be beautifully decorated. Bravo Christine et famille!

Finally, I am leaving for the States on Wednesday and will be there with my daughters until August 17th. I do plan to keep up on this blog, although I'm not sure exactly what form my summer posts will take. I plan to do some major reorganization and am considering moving Cuisine Quotidienne to Typepad -- opinions on that idea are welcome! Keep on clicking by...
