Bonne Anniversaire, Mon Amour!
Today is the birthday of my ex-husband. Maybe it was coincidence that I ran into one of his French friends this morning that I rarely see. Since I bear no ill will towards him in the least, let me amuse you with a few memories of him. I miss him waiting for me after work … Continue reading
