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…..”

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. This week I took four steps back. People were bowling – at least fourContinue reading “GOODBYE, SEPTEMBER 2021. I LOVE YOU.”
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!”
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”
ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!
HELLO, AUGUST,2021!! I thought you would never get here. Frankly, I love September. But August is full of surprises for me. I “remember” 2 wedding anniversaries, 5 birthdays of important people in my FORMER life, and one VIP death. So, I am up and then I am down. Let’s share and walk down memory lane,Continue reading “ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!”
SOME THOUGHTS FOR AUGUST 2021
Those of you who know me or have followed me on Jayspeak know that I have lived a life of relative abundance. And “things” mattered, and I had a lot of “stuff”. I had saved everything in case I MIGHT NEED IT OR WANT IT SOMEDAY. I made sure that I provided for my childrenContinue reading “SOME THOUGHTS FOR AUGUST 2021”
PARIS UPDATE
This has been a wonderful week of catchup for me with lots of ups and downs. No comment. And now I am asking you to sit in the dark with me in case we are either one having difficulty seeing the bright side. Something or other triggers that recurring doom-and-gloom and then I have toContinue reading “PARIS UPDATE”
