Wishing I was 10 years old again

I rarely get sick but when that happens, boy, oh! boy--I would promise to eat more veggies and drink lots of water. Beside being a mom of two girls, I can't afford to get sick.But as luck would have it--I wasn't well for two days. Staying in bed made me so emotional and longed for hot chicken soup, Skyflakes and Royal Tru Orange.

I don't know about you but when we were young,my siblings and I would get the privilege of having "the snack" not the banana cue but Skyflakes and Royal Tru-Orange, that's right! During our younger years those snacks were special because we were not allowed to drink softdrinks nor given money that easily to buy something. Of course, I couldn't able to finish the bottle nor enjoy it but having that softdrink when I was sick reminded me that an extra special attention was given. It was really a wonderful feeling.

I can't remember drinking lots of Royal Tru Orange but I guess what I have remembered most was my parents' loving hands, gently stroking my pain away.

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...
