The month of March sort of got out of hand and escaped unblogged. But rest assured, April will not suffer the same treatment. And I will have plenty to write about because I will be in the United States. FTW!
But before I get into all that, lets catch up on last month.
To make a long story short:
There was Easter. We ate nice food, prepared by Mallory and myself. Then we had a nice outing to a nearby castle, because that is how we roll here in France.

| The kids all seemed to enjoy it |
Another highlight since I last blogged was my visit to Avignon with Valentine. She was busy at the Fine Arts school, so I had lots of time to wander around on my own. I spent much of my time revisiting the "Palais de Papes".
I have visited it once before, but as it covers about 2.5 acres, there was still stuff to see....

The only bad thing about the trip was that I came down with a very bad case of the flu. in fact, I've been sick for about a week now...but seem to finally be recovering. For a while I had my doubts that I would. When I spent two days in bed reading Laura Ingalls Wilder, I knew I was possibly in big trouble. LIW books are my instinctive go-to position in cases of impending death and disaster.
Fortunately, I pulled back from the brink of mortality and "The Long Winter" has been put back on the shelf, only three-quarters finished.

Glad to hear you're feeling better anyway, sounds like it was a good month despite the illness, or maybe the illness counts in April?
I hope you are feeling better, and that your trip back to the States goes wonderfully well. :)
And perhaps this fall, we could meet up for tea - perhaps on or around our mutual birthday! Paris will perhaps be central to us both. Unless another equally interesting city is halfway between you and The Hague. ;)
