Please do not take. Thank you.
Bonjour! I am very happy that you've come to our little neck of the woods. Please do stay awhile for a cup of tea and a piece of peanut brittle....my specialty! – Monsieur Olivet
Monsieur Olivet
Bonjour!
I come from a beautiful region in France, very close to the famous Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel). I have a very small house in the woods, which is also home to my dear, dear friends. I have lived here for many years and have never travelled far from this beautiful land. I am an avid reader and cook. My favorite season is spring when the air is scented with new blossoms. Every month I play my violin for my friends, and take the time each holiday to bring each one a box of my freshly made peanut brittle. Who knows where I will be in the future, I am happy here in the woods, but I know there is something missing...
– Monsieur Olivet
My artist friend, Shirley:
I am happy to introduce to all of you,
Shirley Ng-Benitez, a kind lady who tries to paint as often as she can, in between her design and illustration work, and raising her two daughters with her husband in sunny California, USA. I rely upon her to bring you my adventures and snippets of my simple, though rich, daily life.
