A Day in a FRENCH DOG'S Life…
by Smokey "R" Dokey & Mama Braise
Smokey: Parce qu'elle nous quitte… je vais manger tout son beurre de cacahuètes! Et voilà. Tant pis pour elle! Ça lui apprendra de se séparer de moi!!!
MamaBraise: Smokey-Chou, si tu souhaites la revanche tu es mal tombé… car elle voyage dans le pays du beurre de cacahouète!
Smokey: Que ça me donne envie!
(Mama Braise compte les boîtes pour bien vérifier qu'elles sont toutes là.)
Braise (à gauche): Fais attention, Smokey. Il en reste douze! Fais très attention à toi!
Smokey: Qui? Moi? Mais regarde mon air innocent!
Smokey: Hum…
Smokey: Et si je les ré-ammènage. Elle ne sera pas au courant… s'il en manque… non je ne lui ferais pas ça. J'suis fidèle!
Smokey: Elle me manque déjà et elle n'est toujours pas partie!
Braise: Fiston, la verité c'est que tu as hâte d'entamer la première boîte! Ne sois pas hypocrite.
Maman Braise: …et ces trois là… c'est pour moi!

Full Disclosure Statement: The peanut butter company appearing in these photos did not contact Smokey or Braise or any member of the Espinasse family. No peanut butter perks, privileges, pennies, or prizes were promised. The beurre de cacahuètes pictured above was a gift from the importers of our Domaine Rouge-Bleu wine.

Salut Kristin,
I hope you arrived in Mexico safe and sound! Hope your internal time clock is in the same time zone as you are. (No jet lag)
While you’re there make sure you call Aunt Chilada. She’ll be upset if you don’t check in with her. (enchilada…get it?)
Please give Jules an Arizona “Shake ‘n Howdy” for me.
À bientôt
I’m late to the party today, but I just want to add that the first place my husband and I head when we return from an extended stay in France is the nearest Mexican restaurant. I see Old El Paso ingredients in the Monoprix, but they just don’t tempt me. While we enjoy 90% of our meals in France, what we miss the most is something hot and spicy (definitely not a French cooking feature). If I really missed American ingredients, I guess I’d head to The Thanksgiving Store in Paris’ Marais (next to The Red Wheelbarrow bookstore).
Oh, and I forgot to add a big BRAVO on your photo-story. Patience is thy name.
It’s 7:00 a.m. – dawn is breaking over our beautiful Sierra Madre Mountains – they surround Puerto Vallarta here on the coast of the mighty Pacific Ocean.
Kristi will be here in 6 hours and 42 minutes.
I am beside myself (he-he- Herman!)- I am just going to let each moment open up with all of it’s surprises. I have left up all of my Christmas decorations for Kristi and the lights are twinkling right now out on my patio, I’m cozy in my little bed looking out over the palm trees, the first clouds drifting over the mountains are grey tinged with a salmon underbelly…it’s going to be a magnificant sunrise. Tomorrow Morning I am sure Kristi will be propted up in my cozy little bed typing away on her laptop telling you all about her latest adventure.
It’s going to be 77 degrees today, all of my roses are blooming…
XOXO
JULES
I guess I need to figure out how to fix my
“time clock’ why on earth would it say 2:19 p.m. when it is 7:18 a.m.
XOXO
JULES
P.S. WISH YOU ALL WERE HERE WITH KRISTI AND ME. XOXO
Jules and Kristi,
I know you are having a great time together. I can’t wait to see Kristi in Phoenix on the 11th. Too bad you couldn’t tag along Jules. xoxo
