Ooh La La What a difference a week makes.....

Just imagine living here in the 1200's........

Who knew our neighbors had any winter gear hiding in their closets!

Ooh La La France

Shirley: “Grab it, Tessie! Use both hands, Annie!  Michelle-- squat low or you’ll loose it! Joan, there’s one in the rose bush!”

Joan: “And that one is going to stay there.”

Tessie: “Shirley, we love you. But we can’t have book club here if we always have to spend an hour chasing your cats into the kitchen!”

Annie: “Speaking of herding cats, let’s try to get all the girls to go on a big trip this year."

Michelle: “To France!”

Shirley: “Ooh la la!”

Tessie: “I didn’t know you knew French, Shirley.”

Shirley: “ ‘Ooh la la’ is all the French we need to know!”

Michelle: “Ah, yes, the famous Ooh La La France Tours! They were almost on Oprah! But I can’t bear to have a grand adventure in France without Bob, and I think that the Ooh La La France Tour is just for women.”

Shirley: “Get hip, girl. Ooh La La is changing with the times-- now men can come, too!”

Annie, Tessie, Michelle, Joan: “Hooray!”

Joan: “Does the man I bring have to be my husband?”

Shirley, Tessie, Michelle, Annie: “Ooh La La!”

Quick, Annie-- there’s one in the rose bush.

Announcing Ooh La La France Tours!

A big part of my excitement in our move to France was knowing that I was going to start offering tours of our area. 

Figuring out the tour was easy. What was difficult was finding a catchy name that captured the spirit of the idea of a group of women friends spending a fun and adventuresome week together-- in France!

One weekend four of us were touring around the countryside and we were playing with name ideas, ‘Let’s Go Girls’, ‘Friends, Wine and Cheese’, ‘Go Girls Go’ and a few that can not be mentioned in polite company. We were rolling around in the car laughing. Suddenly two voices cried out, ‘Ooh La La!’. Four pairs of eyes looked up and there before us was the most amazing sight, a double rainbow over a castle perched on a cliff hanging over a river. There was a moment’s silence and then four voices rang out - “that’s it!” And so Ooh La La France was named.
