The kids and I had a day at home doing school and Chris had his first day of teaching in Caen. So proud of the kids and their hard work today & making progress on their classwork. We look forward to hearing from Chris and how his first day of class went for him.
We are making a list of things to get at our weekly store visit tonight (but before 8pm when they shut down shop). I've done lots of reading up on ingredient names this week & hoping I can find a few more than last week. Everyone wants soup to warm us up. We have had a bit of a winter dip in temperatures, which is cozy, but our house thermostat won't seem to climb out of the 60s. We are thankful for hot water, down comforters, long johns and a working stove to make hot food. All part of the French adventure fun, right?!
Oh and did I mention - coffee - it has become an even closer cozy friend in the morning. The kids have something hot to drink on the grocery list - so they can partake in having something warm to drink in the morning. I think we will go for hot apple cider for them and save the hot chocolate for the cafe professionals to make - there is no competing with that.
Hope you all have a good day! :)
Stay warm, sweet friend! Can you imagine what it was like back before central heat, with only fireplaces to warm a room?!
