French longings

Ahh, France. Wouldn't we all like to just take off to France and live the French life for awhile.

Busy weekend behind me with three major (for us, anyway) holidays in as many days. But I did manage to work in a lot of good reading. I am not quite done with my latest read, but could be soon, maybe tonight, if I get off the computer. So just a really quick tease about tomorrow's discussion.

I am working on The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn. This is a charming memoir of life after corporate, something with which I can surely identify. Having lost her corporate management job, Flinn decides not to waste time mourning over something she never really liked in the first place, cashes in her savings and heads to France to study at Julia Child's alma mater, Le Cordon Bleu. Not only do I feel like I am getting increasingly fat just reading this book, but as a lifelong francophile with a personal dream to live in Paris, I am very jealous!

More later, must read now!

A bientot!

Keep reading...
