last roses and la rentrée

We've had a meta heat wave and it's found me drooping like the last rose of summer.  In Paris, it's la Rentrée, that time when the energized, tanned and almost relaxed Parisians return to school and work and real life. So many people make rentrée resolutions because it's like a fresh new year - quiting smoking said a man on the radio, going on a regime =diet for a French woman. My friend's daughters have been in pencil case heaven because my friend, Anne, must purchase all the items from the Ministry of Education required list which includes les trousses = PENCIL CASES, the girls' absolute favorite things.
Not to get nerdy but did you ever have a pencil case like this wood one?
 Or the more chic one with the aphorism to play this is to live.
 Here are the required contents in case you forgot.

I'm excited that very soon I'll see the girls and see which trousse they picked out.

Right now, I'm finishing final edits to get off to my editor tomorrow, co-chairing the Book Passage Mystery conference this weekend and then it's non-stop on a direct flight to Paris.
More from the city of light, mes amies.
Cara - Tuesday
