Bon Jour! Home Sweet Home

We returned last night from France--quite a wonderful 10-day vacation! We started out in Paris; train to Aix en Provence; train to Nice. David (and Madeline) was our interpreter (fluent French comes in handy when mom only knows about 25 words), Madeline was our navigator (she's quite amazing with a metro map) and my specialty was whipping out the American Express card--I think I reached the "Black Card" status! Thanks to my brother for staying with Lucy.

I'm spending my birthday at the Kings of Leon concert. CAN'T WAIT--GREAT SEATS!!!!! Attending Lollapalooza on Saturday--Gogol Bordello is playing. Then David leaves at the end of August for NYU! Time is flying by.

As far as my artwork, I'm still working on a commission job, hoping to finish ASAP--due to the fact I have some fabulous photos from France. I need to step away from flowers and venture to new territory. I just got a call today to show my work in the South Suburbs.

Au Revoir. Enjoy the rest of the summer!!! Hoping all are well and inspired.
