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!
