French la Vie

February 2nd Feast Day of Light

Presentation of the Christ child to the Temple …To give of myself to others, to say, "Here I am!" 

Candlemas Let your light shine in all you do and say. Be a light in the darkness! Light a candle as a symbolic gesture, for those you love.

Purification of the Blessed Virgin  Michelle says it well in her post at La vie en Rose, personal history # four.

Making of crepes France eats more crepes today than any other day! The stores are full of cider doux and cider brut, buckwheat flour, jams, lemons, sugar, and even pre-made crepes for those on the go! I made crepes for breakfest. Erika your recipe is still the best!

Throwing crepes on Armoires I passed on this one, rather stomp in cow pies at the fair!

Chandeleur and Navettes in Marseille This morning at 4am Chelsea walked the streets of Marseille with 50,000 (!!)others to Notre Dame de la Gare.

All the names that describe today and one more; Happy Day!

    Hmm sounds good to me, I will light lots of candles tonight and make crêpe (but I will not throw them on my armoire *rolleyes*), my daughter loves to eat them anyway oh and I go and buy “une bouteille de cidre brut” now and then I’ll feel so french tonight 😀
    A very happy day to you too Corey!

    Corey, I know that France is wonderful, and all that, but it appears that you have forgotten about Groundhog Day!
