Is paper dead?

January 10, 2014 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

If it’s Friday, it must be France …

I love surprises! Don’t you?canstockphoto3446146

Recently I was introduced to a great new page on Facebook ~

I LOVE PROVENCE ! Like many others, I developed a slight addiction to popping in each day to see what eye-candy photo had been posted. I was never disappointed because … well … if you love that part of the world, you just do!

This week I was invited to join the admin group of that page and have the opportunity to post my photos and chat about the south of France. Woohoo (it’s the same in French or English) ! Thanks so much!

Drop by whenever you crave un petit gout! I hope to see you there!

In reference to the heading here. Enjoy the following:

If you can’t get enough of excellent information about what is happening in Provence, be sure to subscribe to my friend Julie Mautner’s fabulous The Provence Post.  In her words, “fresh, juicy, local”! It’s all that and more!

Have you seen this ad in North America? I haven’t but I wondered if it was in circulation here too. Paper is most definitely not dead!

Bon weekend, tout le monde!

    I hardly know Provence, though you tempt me sorely. I’d love to explore it more. However, I’ve just had a real giggle at the youtube video. I shall be sure to show it to my son-in-law 😉

      Margaret, I’m sure you will get to Provence one of these days. You are fortunate that you have had the opportunity to explore your own unique area. That video is a hoot, isn’t it?

      It’s such a good chuckle, isn’t it? Pretty much any photo of the south of France is worth a look. It’s impossible not to take a good one!

        I’m not sure how things are in Mexico but things are great here in Vancouver (LOL) We are however dreaming of Spain and hope to be there soon.

    Lovely pics! Have seen this hilarious ad before and love it because it shows the limitations of technology. Computers are wonderful devices but in a power failure, nothing beats good old pen and paper (in and out of the classroom) 🙂
