Bonjour, Norman Rockwell!
It was a rainy day here in Stockbridge.
Luckily, the weather had cleared in time for dinner.
We went to Alta Restaurant and Wine Bar in Lenox. Highly recommended.
Bonjour, Happiness!
Here's a bouquet of umbrellas outside the Norman Rockwell Museum. I do believe going to the museum is a perfect activity for a rainy day!
Norman Rockwell's painting of Main Street, Stockbridge. So pretty! Every December, the entire town dresses up and recreates the scene with vintage class cars. I want to come back and see that!
And for your four-footed friends, you can get a little cookie!
I saw a gorgeous, very artsy femme d'un certain age wearing these stockings and asked her if I could photograph them. She was delighted. And I was too!
And then it was time to go back into the rain.

Bonjour, Prague!
Merci beaucoup to The Globe Bookstore for hosting a "Bonjour, Happiness!" book signing yesterday!
The Globe is a very popular meeting place for ex-pats in Prague. I met several gorgeous femmes from Italy, Romania, Prague (bien sur), Japan, Belgium, Germany and even The Lone Star State of Texas! I will show you photos tomorrow. But in the meantime, I must tell you about this fabulous bookstore. They have a huge variety of books from all over the world, lots of great events and a gorgeous cafe.
And here I am with some wonderful ladies who really believe in joie de vivre!
More adventures tomorrow! A bientot! xo Jamie

Before the Accident
Before the accident...
(yes, I was in a very bad car accident and am home now with a broken kneecap and broken wrist)...
I took zumba and even tap dancing classes.
I was learning the concertina. And there were my French lessons with the elegant Madame M.
I write about her in Bonjour, Happiness!
She is my fabulous French tutor.
She prefers to remain mysterious (that's because she is completely French) and so I cannot post a photo of her, but trust me--she's beautiful, gentle, brilliant and very, very kind. Oh, and she always serves me tea or mineral water when I come for my lessons.
Here is a photo from my last meeting with her before my accident. Look at these gorgeous flowers!
It'll be a couple of months before I can return to my French lessons and so for now, I enjoy looking at photos and spying on the spring buds beginning to bloom outside my bedroom window.
Soon it will be warm and soon I will be walking again and I will say "Bonjour, Springtime!"
Oh, and I will be at the Tribeca Barnes & Noble on Warren Street on Monday, May 1 6th at 7 p.m.
(this is rescheduled from April 26). Hope to see you there!

Bonjour, R.J. Julia's Bookstore
Well, the official Bonjour, Happiness! book tour has begun!
I had a fabulous time at R.J. Julia's in Madison, Connecticut last week.
Merci beaucoup, everyone!
Oh, and I was so thrilled by the
reception to my first ever concertina performance in public. I only know one song so far, but
I did my very best.
It's true--this very nonmusical gal (that would be moi) received a gift concertina for her 57th
birthday. Very French!
As a femme d'un certain age, it's important to try new things, to learn and grow and always
challenge yourself. That's the French woman's secret to staying youthful and stylish.
