One month and counting…
June 25th, 2008 by Tess
So today I realized that we have exactly one month before our friends arrive from France…we’ve always got somebody visiting, but this one’s different- I haven’t seen them since 2002 and Charlie’s never met them.
You’d never know it, though- he’s the one sweating over the plans. I think he’s determined they need to have absolutely the best visit ever so they can go home and tell them we’re not all idiots.
So while he’s laboring over maps and schedules, they’re laboring over a huge show Christine is having just before leaving (not to mention the one she has as soon as she gets home):
How cool is that? She’s always been an amazing painter, but a starving one, so she teaches* as well, though she’s gaining popularity and has gone to part-time with the kids.
They’ve just built Christine her own studio and built her a website, so I guess I need to start collecting her pieces before she gets too expensive for me and her head swells so she won’t talk to us peons anymore! ;P
*which makes her “my English-speaking French friend who teaches Spanish”…whereas I barely have control over one language…:::sigh::: Sphere: Related Content

And how cool is the poster? I love it. Actually, it could be a Louisiana scene, given the rhythym, faces, and mix….
Beautiful work! Yes, your friend is talented! I’m sure your garden will be an inspiration for her as well!
