It's been about a month since I last wrote here...so much change has happened. First R and I have since moved back to the U.S. I traveled in late May, first to Boston where I have an apt, and then just this past weekend to Brooklyn where R and I are staying in a hotel temporarily until we can find a new home in either Queens or Manhattan.
Instead of the clanging of cowbells and the church bells on the hour every hour, I've heard techno music blaring at 8am on a Sunday morning. Yes...unbelievable. We're on the 7th floor of a brand new business hotel in Brooklyn so the noise is muffled a bit, except for a constant buzz from traffic and people down below. And today there is some work being done in the hotel, so I hear drilling every so often.
Anyway R has started working and I am spending my time looking for work and for an apt, as well as new tenants for my Boston home. So I'm quite busy and haven't had time to focus on writing as much as I'd like to.
The past few weeks have again flown by...and I already feel nostalgic for the countryside of France, and the gentle life we had in the mountains. But alas New York calls (sometimes too loudly) and France is only a plane ride away. Also if all works out, R and I may be living a few blocks away from the best French bakery in Queens...Cannelle Patisserie in Jackson Heights. The baker is from Bretagne (or Brittany) and has worked for Chez Henri in Cambridge, as well as the Waldorf Astoria here in NYC. Feast your eyes on these treats....
