Thursday turned out to be such a beautiful afternoon that Alisha(my roomie) and I went for a drive to the Lake and took some photos. Listened to my Greek CD and we pretended to sing along even though we didn't know what they were singing!

Bananas


Bananas

Alright- so I was in the grocery store the other day and buying bananas and I had a flash back(suprise!) to studying in France. At the store here you take your bananas to the cashier who weights them and then you pay according to the lb. Well, in France, or at least where I shopped(Monprix or Casino or Spar), we had to weigh our own products and then the sticker would print out and we put it on ourselves. Clearly, the reason I mention this is: I would always forget, and I would have to say in my terrible french that I forgot and they would send me back to do this and I would hold up the line!! At least I can say that shopping was an adventure!!

Sails at Sunrise

So, whenever warmer weather comes my way it makes me want to go to the beach and go sailing. Someday I would like to be able to own my own ship- nothing to large, just a nice little yacht, but all wooded with large sails, like in the film "Captain Ron"!!
Just a thought...

Last April CEA took us to this farm outside of St. Remy, in the south of France. I just really liked this photo, so I thought I would put it on my blog!

Easter

This past weekend I got to go spend time with my grandpa! It was so relaxing, that is except for the moment we realized we bought cajun turkey breast. Boy, grandma was sure looking down and laughing at us!!! Sherri, Gpa, and I watched Fiddler on the Roof, bought lottery tickets, and looked through old photos. Sunday morning after Easter mass at St. Joe's we went to Dillion's and got doughnuts. Had a great lunch on the farm with Susie, Mickey, Brad, Mandy, Emily, Molly, and Michael!! Then spent the afternoon making sure my car was up to date. Mandy- if you read this- go ahead and send me pics!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!!
