It’s getting close. Really close. Creeping up on us. Hiding around the corner. Ready to yell “BOO!” The waiting and distractions have lulled me into a false sense of limbo. Can’t sleep. I have to keep reminding myself……
But we aren’t gonna talk about the twist in my stomach! It’s getting tight.
I was told by a French woman that French women generally do not shave underarms and, to a lesser extent, legs. Even today. REALLY.
And antiperspirant/deodorant is considered bad for the skin and health. Uh, huh. Vive la différence, but I’m stocking up at CVS, all the same.
Check your watches — France is 6 hours ahead of Eastern time (7 hours ahead of Tulsa). So when it’s noon in Greenville, it’s 6 pm in Clermont-Ferrand. Ha Ha, Santa gets to us first. But disregard the time difference — JUST CALL – whenever you want to! I mean it!
Here’s your trivia for the day….French President Emmanuel Macron is 39 years old, the youngest president in the history of France. He was an outstanding student, an investment banker, and a civil servant, including a stint at the Nigerian Embassy. He has a master’s level degree in Philosophy and Public Affairs and is the son of a physician and a neurology professor. Macron’s wife, Brigitte, is 24 years his senior. They first met when he was a 15-year-old student and she was his 39-year-old teacher, and became a couple once he was 18. His parents sent him off to Paris due to their alarm at the bond he had formed with Brigitte, who was married with three children at the time.
Also interesting and much less scandalous, there is an apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower, designed and lived in by the architect, Gustave Eiffel. Among the very few people who were invited to the topmost residence was our very own Thomas Alva Edison. (Tulsa Edison, Class of ’77!)
Yep……almost time to pack……..
Busy seeing friends and giving big hugs, refusing to say goodbye but rather “see you soon” – “à bientôt” – until they come to visit or we return to be with them. To Augusta today to hug our trois enfants.
Petit bisous! (little kisses!) xoxox
