A new week is starting. This place is for any one who wants to be accountable on a weekly basis - but anyone else is welcome as well

Twins' Mom, I'm sorry, the weeks here in France start on Mondays, so I start this thread on Sundays (late in the evening). Feel free to start next week's thread on Saturday, or Sunday morning, if it works better for you. Or keep going on the previous thread. Or anything else you want of course.

Thank you for starting us, FFB! I'm not doing that well with my monthly tasks this month, but it's a lot better than if I wasn't making myself accountable here!

Twins, I think it's having somewhere to post our tasks, and have both accountability and encouragement, that's the most important. I post a monthly task list, and FFB is very kind and has encouraged me to join in.

FFB where in France are you? We are going to be in France at 2 cruise ports (dont remember names but I will look up), would love to meet up if we happen to be close.

Monday was Martin Luther King day in the US so none of us worked. Also our college american football (not soccer) team at Indiana University was in the Nationals in Miami. This college is in my town and where I graduated from. They won!!!! We were home watching but the crowd filled several blocks of Kirkwood right outside of campus. First time ever, undefeated team and Ferdinand Mendoza won the Heisman Trouphy and he is our quarterback. We are not sports fans but have watched or listened to bowl games leading up and paid a day pass subscription to watch game last night.

It appears as if sheforums is now truly gone. It stayed open until now. I couldn't find it today. Not sure Atlantic Glyer know how to come on here, I believe the rest of us minus maybe Fun and Eilerse are on here.

FFB from your Christmas card I looked it up, we will be way to far away so we will just wave. We will be in Toulon on May 12 and Ajaccio, Corsica on May 13 on a cruise from Spain to France and Italy.

[FrenchFlybebe]

CL I was going to answer your question. Indeed the Mediterranean part of France is a long way for me. (I live in Brittany now, but I used to live in the South, until we moved, 8 years ago.) Never mind, these are beautiful places, I hope you enjoy your trip.
Btw your card arrived last week, thanks.
