THOUGHTS AND STUFF….
Whew, I have gone through A LOT this year! We ALL have. While my stamina is impressive, the nonstop juggling of my life in the midst of an ongoing pandemic has left me with little energy left to care for myself!

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES – FROM PARIS, WITH LOVE
Do people still have a sense of humor? Both of my sons like to laugh. I sometimes question their sense of humor, but that’s my job. I am their mother. And I seldom believe their political beliefs. But that is true of how I feel about a lot of people. I love all of themContinue reading “THE SUNDAY FUNNIES – FROM PARIS, WITH LOVE”
GOODBYE, SEPTEMBER 2021. I LOVE YOU.
This is on my mind – LOTS. It is a glorious September day in Paris! I woke up!! After being sick all week AND tested, I am happy to report that I passed the test. I had taken two steps forward.

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.

LATE AUGUST 2021 NO COMMENT COMMENTARY FROM PARIS with love……
Some days are not good days for me. I think it has to do with biorhythms. But, I don’t know. So, I am not going to try to write about depression, or family values, or whatever. I have some good topics when I feel like it, and I have been trying to walk in myContinue reading “LATE AUGUST 2021 NO COMMENT COMMENTARY FROM PARIS with love……”
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!”
WORKING TITLE – MUSINGS IN PARIS
Today is the 16th anniversary of my marriage to Steve Orlandella. We booked a weekend at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Everything about that weekend was fun. But I am not prepared to write about that today. He died from heart failure on August 31, 2016, after having been treated in the hospital forContinue reading “WORKING TITLE – MUSINGS IN PARIS”
