Another Week in Paris

​I must admit, I love the ‘feel’ of Paris. I can stay in all day, not leave the house, still know I’m in Paris and still be as happy as a clam!  Here’s my view from the sofa while working.

​One of the issues with having grown up by the ocean in my youth was many a day at the beach slathered in baby oil instead of sunscreen.  I took advantage that my friend has an excellent dermatologist and had my annual check up. Thankfully, a clean bill of health. On the walk back to the house, we passed an old fashioned candy store. How many years has it been since I’ve seen a candy store. It was so colorful and brought back fun memories of the candy store across the street from my elementary school! 

​The other thing that is not helping my efforts at weigh loss – I’m actually afraid to step on a scale at the moment lol—is the delicious foods. I know what I consider pizza as a native New Yorker and again as a Texas resident, but as a Parisian – boy do they know how to use Mozzarella!  The dough was purchased already made from the baker, no idea where the sauce came from, the tomatoes were fresh from the market as was the cheese. So so so good! 

​The sad side of my trip, as many of you know, is the death of a seventeen year old escaping from the police and the massive destruction of cities and town that followed. The youth (average age of rioters is 17) have taken to using fireworks as firearms, (you know those canisters that pointed up shoot those beautiful fourth of July fireworks- picture them pointed at people and property) and have caused so much damage burning libraries, mobile health clinics, storefronts, city halls and all their records, etc etc etc that I have my doubts how the country will recover – if this is the next generation that will rule, the country is in deep you know what. 
 
We however were spared. The day after the incident we left Paris for the South of France where tranquil dinners are followed by beautiful sunsets.  

​I will remind everyone that Honeymoon for Six is in process for release on July 15th. You can preorder now, or purchase at your favorite vendor after the 15th or directly from my store and use the coupon on the storefront to save 10%.  And then, only one more month and the Bilionaire Barons of Texas arrive in August! Are you ready???
 
Will catch you next week!
