Week in review...

The weeks seem to just fly by. It's almost the middle of January and I don't have the Christmas tree down yet - yikes!! The decorations were all taken off and dutifully packed up on January 1 as is the custom. BUT, we just didn't make the time to pack up the tree. This weekend the tree gets put to rest until next year.
Back to this week - Tuesday after work I met with a retirement counselor to find out what my options are. And after talking with her, I think the best thing would be to hold out until July 2013. Sounds like forever, but I like said, time does seem to fly by. Thursday I went to my French class. I really enjoy class. Madame Gaston is a great teacher and she conducts our class completely in French; just wish I understood more. My homework assignment for this week is to write (in French, of course) about the cuisine of Provence. I'll follow up about that next week. Today is Friday and it's the beginning of a long weekend. Need I say more?
I think I'll end with this picture taken this morning on my way to work. It reflects a goal I set every January. A goal for which I am slowly making progress, but sometimes it's like shoveling sand.
