I need to rest my mind because I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Nothing is working. Well, that’s not true. The hotspot is working. Otherwise I would not be able to get the internet. But the in-house Wi-Fi is not working. And, I don’t know how to access it. Neither does my landlord. Continue reading “A BRIEF INTERLUDE”

A SHORT RAMBLING…..
It has been a long emotional month, preparing to change into a new life – AGAIN. I felt the same way, or at least, similar, when I went away to the University of Wisconsin from Georgia; when I went away to Los Angeles, California from Georgia, when I moved to Nice, France, from California. And,Continue reading “A SHORT RAMBLING…..”
THE PARIS REQUIREMENT
Paris has certain requirements for me. I have raised the bar. In my last remaining days in Nice, it is bittersweet. It was here that I was introduced to France, it customs, its people, its loves and its hates. It is VERY different from the United States, where each state is different – like 50Continue reading “THE PARIS REQUIREMENT”
22 DAYS TO GO – Paris-Bound
We are living in interesting times! That is definitely one way to look at the news. I don’t like most of what I see and hear. AND, I am not getting my way with most things, but I will concede– the news is not boring. Alarming, yes. Boring, no. And, when I am just doingContinue reading “22 DAYS TO GO – Paris-Bound”
“RAMBLINGS TO REV UP THE ENGINE”(wait! I don’t have a car……)
This is one of those days when I have so many topics to discuss that I am having difficulty choosing one. Post topics come to me in the middle of the night when I have so much to discuss with all of you. Haha. You have become very important in my life – like itContinue reading ““RAMBLINGS TO REV UP THE ENGINE”(wait! I don’t have a car……)”
HAPPY TWENTIES (2020)!
Earlier in Jayspeak, I wrote about “decades” and added a photograph that was taken during the year 1937, 1947, 1957 and so forth during the years that I was born and then turned 10, 20, 30, and so forth, ending with the year that I turned 80. Well, this is a different kind of “decade. Continue reading “HAPPY TWENTIES (2020)!”
DOES IT FIT?
Does WHAT fit? This is about… the Operative Question for me has always been – Do I / THEY / HE / SHE / IT fit? My intuition has been one of my best friends throughout my life. And, slowly but surely, I have begun counting on it to lead the way. So, upon reflection,Continue reading “DOES IT FIT?”
KEEP THE PONY!
“When things get tough, the tough get going.” (- Jesse Dickson Jewell (Daddy)) “With all this s_____ , there must be a pony here somewhere” (- Janet Tallulah Jewell (me)). “Is the glass half full or half empty?” (- I don’t remember). My family was big on metaphors/cliches/similes, especially DaddyContinue reading “KEEP THE PONY!”
PARIS WEEK
Paris Week! Yes, I went to Paris on the train for six nights and seven days (two travel days). On Monday, October 21, 2019, I got on the TGV High Speed Train to Paris at Gare Nice Ville. My tickets were First Class because I wanted all the bells and whistles that First Class provided. IContinue reading “PARIS WEEK”
RED LETTER DAYS
I keep taking a step at a time and scaring myself each time. Haha! This week has been a “doozy” (Family expression), saying to myself, “Well, when Isis attacks Paris after the Battle of Normandy, I hope I am not shopping at Chanel that day!” I keep thinking that cooler heads will prevail. NOT. A “friend”Continue reading “RED LETTER DAYS”
