Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

Snapshots and Stories in Six Words

Marseille‘s rare moment. Thoughts of rain.

Table setting. Guest arrive. Merry making.

French husband stands faithful in 501s.

Josephine swims away. Her blog stops.

I heart desserts. Hips heart….salad!

Six word restaurant sign in French.

Photos: Six snapshots of my days…six word stories trying my hand to the competition, click here! 

Amazon books and things are available by clicking on photos. Buying at Amazon through my blog benefits me by giving me a small fund to buy books. As you know living in France doesn’t mean second hand English bookstores! Thank you!!

    I love the 6-word story idea (I read a bunch of sci/fi winners a few months back. Very funny). The addition of pictures make them even better!

    I’ll enter this contest (it’s better than the NaNoMoWri contest for sure!).
    I’m sure you’ll create a fine short story 🙂

    I love all the photos and 6-word stories (my favorites–the Levis of course!, and the dessert).
    I’ve seen this around the blogsphere and haven’t really settled down to submit a contribution. Good for you that you made the deadline 😀

    Now that I have my long-lost cheerleading uniform in hand I will don it mentally (since this 45-year-old waist can no longer be encircled by the skirt that once fit the 15-year-old bod. [Guess I heart desserts, too.]) and offer a cheer of support to Tongue in Cheek. Ready? Okay!
    “Good Luck! Hey, HEY! L-hey, U-hey, CK! Lots of luck is coming your way so take it in and let’s begin! Good Luck! Hey, HEY!”
    My ex-cheerleading sisters think I made this cheer up but they’re older than I and sometimes forget.
    BTW, we wanna see frencHusband in his slim-fitting 501s facing the OTHER way. stp!

    6 words. How very interesting. That’s how many words it takes for 2 people to say “I love you”.
    Have fun with your six words!
