On My Mind this 4th of December…… I am pondering how I want to justify to myself, and to you, my strong feelings about friends who are no longer “friends” and I miss them. Best friends? I thought we were. Well, we know that facts are not feelings. They don’t even « pretend « toContinue reading “DECEMBER “NO COMMENT” COMMENTARY”

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE
Some days I am filled with energy and others are very lethargic. Today is not so hot after a wonderful day yesterday. So, let’s both grab a cup of coffee. That helps to give us a break. And coffee goes with everything in Paris. This week I have been pondering a lot of things –Continue reading “FROM PARIS WITH LOVE”
HELLO FROM PARIS!
Hello from Paris! Guess what? I have made the decision to stay in Paris. I will NOT be moving any time soon. Who knows about tomorrow, much less “the future”? If I have my way, I will have a wonderful future!!!! And it takes place in Paris. So, I have unpacked my bags and amContinue reading “HELLO FROM PARIS!”
NOVEMBER begins with pet-PEEVES AND BLESSINGS…..
As I sit here getting ready to write, I remember how much I don’t like this MAC that I have been using ever since Steve died in 2016, and I still don’t like it. I always prefer my PC. But I have used this one because it was brand new when he died and soContinue reading “NOVEMBER begins with pet-PEEVES AND BLESSINGS…..”
CHAPTER 11
Do you know what I mean by “true colors”? When someone shows you their “true colors”, what should you do with the new information? It could be something you have suspected for a long time.

SHIFTS AND CHANGES – CHAPTER 10
Well, this was the week from Hell and back. I am reeling from shock about “better days ahead” and trying to understand what just happened. In addition, I have had a cold (not Covid) all week. On antibiotics. With Laryngitis. I don’t know where to start. This may be a two-parter because I have soContinue reading “SHIFTS AND CHANGES – CHAPTER 10”
HELLOOOO, SEPTEMBER!
Well, here we are in Chapter Ten, and I, for one, need something that feels normal for a change of pace. Football. It is September and that is when I long for football. Games. Brisk weather. Chaos is OK for about five minutes. Then I need something that calms me down. Like changing leaves andContinue reading “HELLOOOO, SEPTEMBER!”
CHAPTER TEN – “THE NEW NORMAL”
Grab a coffee. We are charging ahead, DESPITE all systems saying, “BREAKING NEWS!!!!” We are moving into Janet’s Chapter TEN. When last we spoke, I was flailing around in Chapter 9, adjusting to my new-found life in Paris. Then BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. It happened. What happened? Chaos. THE NEW NORMAL! Are you talking aboutContinue reading “CHAPTER TEN – “THE NEW NORMAL””
JANET In Paris! Status Update!
I woke up this morning filled with alarm. The good news: I woke up.. The bad news: alarmed. About what? EVERYTHING. You name it, I was alarmed. Then I remembered (as if I ever forget) my blood pressure. Oops. Got to calm down. How ? Log onto social media. Oops. Maybe that wasn’t a goodContinue reading “JANET In Paris! Status Update!”
