Stories Collected While Living in France
Threatening clouds encourages staying home.
Lazy in the middle of the morning,
Breakfast dishes stacked,
Ironing remains in a heap,
Family under one roof,
One prepares for his BAC,
Two others working side by side on their computers,
The mother wonders what to fix for lunch.
Another day begins,
Simple and good.
Content even if it rains.
Photo: Closed shutters with flowers.
Isn’t it wonderful when life is simple & good….enjoy your day!!
Love this photo, great “feel”…and sounds like a perfect day, rain and all.
Sounds like a contented family…lovely.
Blessings!
Love these kinds of days. Nothing that has to be done. Enjoy
We had a perfect day together as a family yesterday. Nothing out of the ordinary, but we were all together, and we were all content. Enjoy.
Contentment is my favorite emotion, I think. Peace and blessings to you all!
Being together is just the best!
Beautifully presented, beautifully said. You read like a thanksgiving prayer. Amen
Nesting at its best!
My 25 year old son, popped in from Toronto for dinner and overnight – he’s playing golf near here tomorrow…I always sleep better when the chicks are back in the nest!
Did you post this just pour moi? Seattle has been simply dreadful as of late and I needed something to sound good when one is stuck indoors. Merci, mon amie.

Your entire family together and happy…..sounds like a perfect day.
The key word here seems to be “content.” Enjoy the day!!
How I would love to have my daughter home for even one day – she is away at school. I am also happy every time it rains, Phoenix always needs it. Enjoy your lovely day.
LOVE this!!!!
Overcast and rainy days are my favorite, and I’ve been blessed with an entire weekend of them. For me, rainy = cozy. Relish those cozy days.
Lovely picture Coco! I am happy when it rains. I like the rain sound tapping on the windows.
So cozy sounding! Like Kimberly said, the weather here has been quite depressing lately. The only cure for this is to do what you are doing, gather family and friends, take it easy and relax. Hope Sacha does very well with the BAC.
I’ve always loved rainy days, after all, I lived in England! They are perfect for planting the garden, baking, relaxing with a good book, or perusing indoor flea markets and old bookstores.
That sounds blissful. A day like that with true contentness for all the family is beyond price. Enjoy those special moments Corey, Jx
As those flowers soak up the rain, love blooms indoors. A simple photo with a discrete charm.
rain, rain go away, we want to go out to play.
Sweet contentment…Praise the Lord!

Sounds perfect.
It’s raining here today too – at the other end of the world.

Because of your blog..

“family under one roof”
it is so beautiful.
Corey you have this exquisite ability to get to the heart of the matter with us. The artistry of your blog often takes my breath away and this one certainly did.
The closed shutter with the flowers: perfect.
Just found your blog and love the taste of France it gives. I miss living there, but this helps keep it in my life. Thanks so much, and enjoy your life a la Francaise.
