Personal and Professional Musings
Since all most of February has been spent studying for finals, we celebrated the conclusion of exams last Sunday (I’m a bit late with this one) with a daytrip to Avignon. A quick train away, we arrived in the early afternoon to explore. We’d be interested in seeing the Palais des Papes for a while…
I like to pass through the epicerie du monde when I’m at any grocery store and I’m always perplexed at what I see. Apparently this is all America brings to the grocery world: Let’s take it by shelf-by-shelf, shall we? Pancakes/Syrup (Aunt Jemima, to be exact) Pepperidge Farms cookies as far as the eye can…
I’m very excited to announce the launch of the latest Colleen LeMasters Creative web design project! Today, Seasons Baked Goods went live!

Let me take a moment to share some insight on what it means to be an American (or any non-French citizen) living in France. In order to be official for (in my case) longer than 90 days in France, I applied for a long-stay visit visa, good for one year. I did that way back…
So the New Year came and went and January seems to have gone with it. I didn’t get my act together for New Year’s resolutions, but I did adopt a new strategy in my (tiny) kitchen that should make for some interesting future posts, so I’m going to count that. Read on… Here’s the thing.…
I’m 30 years old today. I don’t feel any older. Quite frankly, I kinda lost track of my age after college…like when someone would ask how old I am, I’d have to pause for a minute, remember the answer is no longer 23 and do a quick calculation. In honor of my three decades, I’ve…
Finally got the photos working! A visual of our trip home. Also, if anyone in Dave’s family is in Witness Protection, now is the time to let me know so I can remove your existence from the photos 🙂 click image for gallery
