I've been in Olympia since Thursday after a grueling Madrid-Chicago-Seattle flight. After a slow start, I definitely plan to get back to blogging, although that involves getting used to a QWERTY typewriter and my parents' hopelessly slow Mac. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "I'm doing the best I can."
But now to the real news. In my last blog, I alluded to a meeting I would be having with a fellow blogger -- actually an ex-Blogger blogger -- and it was Antoinette of Trapped in Trappes! I know a lot of you in our little expat blogging community read her hilarious but sad take on French life, which disappeared suddenly a few months ago. A lot of you were, like me, worried about her.
So imagine my surprise when I got an email telling me she and her family were spending their holidays in Aveyron -- mainly because of my blog -- and that she would like to meet me! Despite my crazy pre-departure schedule, I managed to have lunch with her, her charming husband and darling three-year-old son. The blogosphere is an amazing place.
It's not up to me to tell you how she's doing or to give you any update, but maybe she will leave a comment on this post when she gets back from vacation. Here's to you Anntoinette!

First, have fun back home, and let us know what you're up to! I hope you keep blogging because I always enjoy your posts.
And, yay! I'm glad to hear Antoinette is still around; I still try the link once in a while on the off chance she's decided to put it back up. Antoinette, I'm watching the game tomorrow in Maurepas and I think of you every time we drive by Trappes. Sounds like you both had a great time.
Happy vacationing to all!
I'm glad to hear she's doing okay (or is at least still alive *S*)- and I've tried clicking on her link every once in a while just in case too!
