On my mind today during this week before Thanksgiving, in a country that doesn’t have Thanksgiving, I have a lot to be thankful for. What? This is not a post of thanks. It is about other things. What? WELLLLLL, I have decided that doctors only know so much. I KNOW that attorneys only know soContinue reading “ON MY MIND DURING THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING…..”

NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP
Missy died last night while I was asleep. I awoke during the middle of the night to find her dead. It was a terrible experience. She was probably sick at the time I bought her. Who knew? We had five wonderful years together. We were bonded – at least I was – from the beginning.Continue reading “NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP”
5 YEARS LATER…PARIS – OCTOBER 2020
This is my world and welcome to it! What is on my mind this weekend? Lots. I have settled into my new home in Paris, 16e. I like it. It is not perfect (by a long shot) but the feeling is right.

PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !
What a glorious September morning in Paris! I am sitting here in my new apartment in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, aware that I feel good and am hunkering down.

THE PIANO
When I was a young girl, I took a lot of lessons – speech, voice, piano, baton twirling, dance (ballet, tap, jazz), swimming, diving, tennis. And I was in a lot of recitals and loved being a “show-off”. I was good at most of them. Actually, I was good at a lot of things (especiallyContinue reading “THE PIANO”
PARIS ROSE
Paris Rose, not to be confused with “Tokyo Rose”, is my attempt to put some beauty into this upcoming weekend. The best thing about the weekend will be Father’s Day. Otherwise, Juneteenth and the Saturday Trump Tulsa rally, predicted to infect large numbers of Americans, are dreadful. My heart breaks from the reality of whatContinue reading “PARIS ROSE”

Taking a Knee In Support
Last night, I was not having a good night and, as a result, I had trouble going to sleep. And, I kept reading about events happening in Paris, London, Russia, Iran, Germany, China, and in the USA. until I managed to work up a high state of anxiety and despair. And, somehow, when I readContinue reading “Taking a Knee In Support”
FIRST POST of – “A Moment in Time” (Hazel)
Welcome! This is my first attempt at “self-taping” a moment in time. She is a character, named “Hazel”. Be patient with me. I am getting this rusty machine up and running. In reviewing this video, the sound is off. Is it something I am doing? I taped it into my Mac on iMovie, save itContinue reading “FIRST POST of – “A Moment in Time” (Hazel)”
