She was the author friend who put me onto your blog a couple weeks ago, and she said today that I must introduce myself to you in this way. What a wonderful woman she is! Anyway, I'll enjoy following you this summer from just down the road. We'll be in Antibes from mid-June to early-September and I'll be posting in unison with you. Always wonderful to know that the solitary work isn't so solitary.

I have been blessed to return there (with my very generous husband) every 2-3years and explore a different part of this region. Every time I walk the streets of Provence, I feel like I have come "home." I must have been French in another life! Another dream will come true as we return to Provence this fall to celebrate my first year of retirement and a big birhday. I have Elizabeth's first book, and it's charming. I'd love to add its new partner to my book collection.Kathi Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-13434786657884786072015-04-07T19:08:01.522+02:002015-04-07T19:08:01.522+02:00Thanks so much for reading, Julie!

A writer friend recommended you as essential reading among the fraternity of South-of-France writers (as I, too, have a blog called French Lessons based out of Antibes on www.frenchlessonsblog.com - but I only post new material during the summertime). Thank you for sharing the details of this new book. I personally adore the aforementioned figs; we have our own tree and for two weeks each year, I'm trying to work out what to do with them all! As for an ice cream story, my daughter's first young crush was on the son of our local gelato shop owner. The two of them were in petite maternelle together, but it wasn't until a good year later that we made the gelato connection. And only at that point did we realize: It was in that family's very shop that my husband gave our daughter her first taste of this cool sweetness (technically way too early in life, it should be said). On tasting the vanilla gelato, my daughter's little heels kicked enthusiastically at my hips from the comfort of her Baby Bjorn carrier.

It also led to annual winter visits to the area. Last summer I sold my house in Michigan and am not enjoying being a full time visitor (that's an oxymoron) and I'm writing a memoir about it.
