- My name is Barb and I am the woman behind the online boutique THE FRENCH ELEMENTS. While I will always keep The French Elements blog (so many memories), I have started a new one and I hope you will visit. CHASING THE NEXT CHAPTER is about change. The past few months I have been thinking about writing a new blog. My youngest son passed away 7/1/2015 and life will never be the same for us. He entered Heaven and we entered a new chapter in our lives. A very different chapter that is still unfolding. We have always talked about moving back to Europe (or elsewhere). The talk continues but we are planning on making the dream our reality. He would be pleased.
Yep!
In the future??

Hi Barb, you know most times I run around saying I hate technology! But then there are the other times when I say what would I/we do without it! Yes, exactly!!!
Hope you had a fun visit with your son!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not quite like face to face but pretty darn close! I am happy you get to see his handsome face! Love to you and prayers for his safe return!
Yay, Barb! This technology is amazing and I am so happy for you, and for Jeff as well as it will help keep him close to home and centered.

Oh I do love Skype!
Skype is one of the greatest inventions around--so glad it's keeping you and your son close.

Oh yes - Skype is a lifesaver!
Hi Barb, We are so lucky and blessed to live in a world of so much technology. With places like FB and skypes we are more able to stay connected with friends and family. I'm so glad you have this as I know how much you love and miss your son. I have a place for both of your sons in my prayers.
