Six Paris Letters, a health update, and the latest French postage stamps

The ol' critical illness mentioned in the last post garnered so many kind comments. Thanks Reader. You're the best. I feel I'm nearly in the clear... just a slew of hospital appointments until Christmas, six months of nasty but effective meds, and boom! Back to normal.Hopefully.So thanks for all the kind wishes. Keep sending those good vibes. They work!Today is my first day back to my desk. My first official day when Amélie is at daycare, Christophe is at work, and I'm not being monitored by Team Caregivers... AND I have high speed internet.Life is dreamy.So it's been six months since I shared Paris Letters. I have actually been sending them. I just haven't had the strength to tell you all about it. These are all finally listed in the shop... and they are bigger there, for more detailed perusing.May is about trying to get a package delivered to your apartment in Paris. Nearly impossible.June is about hanging out at Le Select café to try conjuring ghosts. Also nearly impossible.July is about picnics in Paris. The easiest thing in the world. Unless you plan for it.August is about the quiet serene of Paris when everyone else has left. Dreamy. And you get all the treats to yourself.September features Jardin des Plantes and is about the great return of all those who left in August.October features the fever of taking photos of Medici Fountain in October.The best photo I've taken of said fountain...But that doesn't keep me from taking a gazillion photos whenever autumn rolls around.The October letter also features the new French postage stamps. Each new president gets to decide on the new postage stamp, which sticks around until another president comes around. And these lovely stamps are in prancing about France in all their autumnal splendour. More fun Paris Letters are over at my shop. Happy autumn!
