My cousins Sara and Kerri and their daughters Jennifer and Elizabeth are visiting. It is so odd to see familiar faces, family from back home in my French town. A rare treat! A connection that makes living so far away feel less far. I suppose more than anything I feel my past, I feel my childhood, I feel love.... a connection that lessens the gap. Also it makes me homesick.
We went to the market today.
Soap
spices
scarves
shoes
and
a "sac" (which is a "purse" in French but since everything started with a
"S"
I thought I would say sac instead of purse.

We were having lunch at the market when my friends Denise and Vlad came by. It was such a lovely moment to introduce my two worlds, my family to my friends, my friends to my family... France to California... and just before I said, "This is Denise..."
My cousins cracked up laughing, "The Panty Lady!!!"
