A New Day
Today looks like it will be another good day on the Fabrice front.
We're leaving for Paris by train, shortly. After two days of trying to go to the US Embassy to get a form notarized so that Morgan can get a passport and come visit in December, we're going to try another route this time around. We spent something like 7 hours in traffic jams over the past two days. We left over three hours in advance for an appointment at the embassy. An embassy that is maybe 50 miles away. It should be better today.
I can't wait to see my baby girl!!!!
Inspired by my friend, Nicole, I am going to draw 100 flowers/plants. It took me a very long time to decide what to draw a hundred of. In the meantime, Nicole has drawn 2 sets of 100 teapots (the first set of 100 of her teapot art can be found here). Well, she's at 198 out of 200 (See her lovely, beautiful work on 100 More Teapots, here) according to the latest report. I wanted to draw one hundred somethings, but I couldn't decide what to draw. Now, considering that I have well over a thousand photographs of flowers and plants in my flickr site, I thought flowers to be the logical choice. I like flowers. I like plants. I love everything that lives. And some things that don't.
Like books. Except I believe in my heart of hearts that books, too, are alive.
I am presently reading an amazing tome, Les Disparus, in French, although it was translated from American English. The original title is The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million. It is by Daniel Mendelsohn. I will write another post about the book, once I have finished it. It took me many pages for the book to truly capture my interest. Now, I cannot put it down. It's so intriguing.
I will do my best to post an update later today or this evening.
