we are taking flight again, and i have barely begun to pack. on sunday we head to france for another extended visit. we have fallen hard for a tiny village in rural languedoc, where we have stayed twice before, sending our kids to the local schools for fall semesters in 2010 and 2012. but this will be our first time visiting in summer. i am excited to feel the mediterranean heat of this famously hot and dry place. i am excited to eat july produce in the home of ratatouille, and to drink our friends’ wine. and i am especially excited to discover 40 days of new STILL blog images, and share them with you.
