Peronne

We spent a total of three days in Peronne, Genevieve's vacation home which we absolutely love. We had about a week to stay when we came two summers ago and Ruby and I fell in love with the vineyards, cherry trees, gardens and French landscapes. I was so glad we got a few nights in Peronne before and after Lanselvillard. We also stayed in Catherine and Genevieve's father's home. He died a few months ago and they are going to have to sell the house soon. It's a mansion from the 1800s. We stayed there two nights in all and on the last one, Olympe, Ruby and I watched The Aristocats (Aristochats in French) on VCR in the attic we slept in. We watched it in French and I understood everything! Granted it's a kids' movie, but I was pretty proud! Then after dinner we watched Jurassic Park 1 before we fell asleep half-way through.
In Peronne I went on a walk at dusk around the gardens listening to An American in Paris. I found an adorable black kitty that I played with for a while and it was just such a serene, movie-like moment. Peronne is so French and so beautiful, I was sad to leave!
 We went to a little art show in a nearby village while Catherine bought groceries


 The view from the attic, it was raining and made it oh so cool, lovely and it smelled so good! And rain always makes things more cozy and enjoyable



 The Aristochats!
 Emily's friend Spencer and Evyn had farewells on the same day. This is my sad face for both of us losing our best guy friends




Meanwhile, Evyn's farewell was going on!

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
