Moi

french la vie

Nearly eighteen years ago I started this blog… every day some little note is added.

I grew up in a small rural town called Willows

My journey included a million first cousins, four brothers, studying depth psychology, praying, cooking, and doing retreat work on CJ Jung while living in a Benedictine monastery in New Mexico.

I hiked the Grand Canyon, wished on stars, and worked for the

Catholic Church in San Francisco. It was there that I fell

in love against the odds at the Ibeam with a Frenchman who happened to be on vacation. 

He collected his "belle souvenir" and moved back to his homeland: France. 

Over thirty years ago, two beautiful children, a son in law, two wee ones, and many containers 

of French antiques, I am still tripping over my tongue gathering

 adventures at the flea markets. 

Most days I am happily walking somewhere in

Provence smiling while whispering over the waves: thank you xx

  4. Great photo Corey. I’ve been reading your blogs, sometimes commenting for around twelve years.
    Give or take. I have enjoyed the ride. I guess I’m one of the fortunate ones who have met you and Yann in person.
    Thanks for the pleasure you give to all of us. We also cry with you during any sadness that you feel.
    Looking forward to many more great postings. Hopefully, will soon be able to return again to Provence.

  9. Corey, I discovered your blog when I retired from teaching 14 years ago. We were planning a trip to France and I was googling anything I could find about it.
    I have so enjoyed reading you everyday since. I tell my friends about my “friend” in France. You have such a way with words and photography I still think you should write a book. ❤️
