'tis another snowy day in Meat Camp
Winter is the best time
to find out who you are.
Quiet, contemplation time,
away from the rushing world,
cold time, dark time, holed-up
pulled-in time and space
to see that inner landscape,
that place hidden and within.

I leave for Paris in one month.
(yes, yes, yes, I know I've mentioned it a time or two. No Apologies! I'm excited. And, yes, I'm absolutely positively sure I'll be mentioning it more than a few more times both before leaving, while I'm there, AND upon returning. It's good to have good things happening to be happy and excited about during these hard days of gloom and doom. Right?!! Damn right. 😊 )
Today, I decided, is a perfect day to pull out a few guidebooks to decide which, if any, to toss into my suitcase.
This is, of course, way too many guidebooks to even consider packing. Add to that, I am being very careful this trip to pack as lightly as possible. I would normally have Donald with me when flying, and he (being the gentleman his mom and dad raised him to be) always lifts my suitcase up and into the overhead for me. Without Donald this trip, it will be up to me to get tha suitcase into the overhead. Weight is of THE utmost importance this trip.
Once deciding if I need to take a guidebook or two then I'll check to see if there's a Kindle version. OMG i love my Kindle.
Yes. I do have a fascination with Paris.
And a deep love of books.
And, okay . . .
admittedly, a bit of an obsession with books about France.
And (again) I make no apologies -
I do love my Little Paris Library
But wait -
That's not all!

Both lists were updated last May.
Maybe I'll use this snow day as the perfect opportunity to update the lists. Maybe.
Bonne lecture, mes amis
