The Maxi-minimalist...
This week and weekend we will be hosting a few get-togethers, including an end of the school year picnic for some of Jonathan's friends and a 4th of July cookout. I've had fun planning the menus and making oodles of lists (to do, to buy, to bake, to make, to pack...).
This morning before going to the market we made a stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things. That particular shopping list included paper napkins.
I decided to splurge a bit and get the pretty red ones - it is 4th of July weekend after all! I put them in my basket and went to find Jonathan in the frozen foods section. "I got napkins," I said. "Oh, me too," he replied.
Hmm... apparently he was not as moved by the 4th of July spirit!
In related news, this is the first time I've seen a jumbo size roll of paper towels in France. What's next? Milk by the gallon?

there was a new law passed that no longer limits the size of products sold, i'm sure you'll see more "jumbo" products soon!
Sounds like fun! Wish I was there to help with the lists...enjoy your weekend!
Love you,

Your ability to turn the most mundane things into a good blog post astounds me.
Hope you have a fun weekend! Happy Fourth of July!
Looks like you ended up getting both! Pretty red ones for the girls and a plain white sheet of paper towel for the boys!!!
Ahh man... I wish we could be there! Save a red napkin for me! :)
The beauty vs the practical.
Have a wonderful celebration of the birth of our wonderful homeland....the USA!
Wish you could be here to celebrate with family, but so thankful you have such great friends with whom to celebrate and have fun!
Love you...Mom
I think this is a man thing.
Hope you had a great 4th of July!! We were inside the whole night since it was too rainy for firework watching, so we watched the fireworks on tv instead. :)
