Creative, generous, thoughtful, loving people are blessings in our lives. Each step of departure from the states proved one more time for me: I have many. Although our time with Mike and John at Mahogany Oaks was brief, it was rich. After shrimp salad, I opened a beautiful peacock bag full of goodies. There was even a little bit of Momie inside, but she didn't stay there for long. Pretty soon, she was everywhere.
The beautiful metalic cat journal, was probably intended to be the journal of our times here during our second "4", but I've decided to make it more. It has become Journal #2 of the Chatette. Our first Chatette Journal is full, and this one is perfect. It too, will hold the milestones, memories, and sentiments of this magical place for me, my family, friends, and visitors. For some reason, I don't think John and Mike will mind. I've already put Mike's Card of our favorite photo up on the side of the frige.
Most of the tiny envelopes that were tucked inside were empty for me to fill with memories, but one held a special treat: Momie's Little Book # 114-The Best Wit of the French People. Even though the proverbs are in English, the special French flair for thought, feeling and humor comes through loud and clear.
Funny...I opened the little book to just this proverb:
"Seizing the moon with one's teeth."
Now, that is quite a visual. I'd say Momie's come to France.
