NOT. A “friend”Continue reading “RED LETTER DAYS”

FAVORITE PHOTOSHOOT PHOTOS
Last Thursday, I did a SeaTrek and took a lot of photographs. I posted some of them on last week’s Jayspeak, but I did not always select my favorites. So, in this post, I am selecting my favorites – just for fun! I have no criteria for which ones I include. Just my own loveContinue reading “FAVORITE PHOTOSHOOT PHOTOS”

SEPTEMBER SELECTIONS – 2019
Well, so much is going on the the USA, in England, and in France, I don’t know where to start!

ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!
***Cliché’s have always been a part of my vocabulary. Why? Because Daddy was ALWAYS saying a cliché, or a catchy slogan, or a joke, or a byline, or a ….. You get the picture. One of his favorites was “The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.” And “Go to it!”,Continue reading “ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!”

I won’t be writing about him next week. I plan to use that day to remember. Not write. Continue reading “MY BEST FRIEND”
Something to Think About
This is Charlie Chaplin at age 26, photographed 100 years ago. It’s believed he wrote the poem below at age 70. He read the poem – however it was written by author Kim McMillen.
