UPDATE! HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS!

I am now back home, trying to get things back to “normal”. I was gone for a month. That is a long time for plants, cleaning, and a cat. I was lucky enough to have a friend to look after the cat and to water the plants, but we had extraordinary heat hit the areaContinue reading “UPDATE! HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS!”

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON A SUNDAY MORNING….

On a very small scale, I find myself thinking about the time I have left on this planet. How will I spend it – “God willing, and the Crick Don’t Rise”. I won’t live to see the death, doom, and destruction that many are predicting for this world. Maybe. I am already seeing the resultsContinue reading “SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON A SUNDAY MORNING….”

THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT – AGAIN!!!

In my Universal Bubble here, I am into my third week of recovery at La Serena Convalescence Center here in Nice, France, after my second knee replacement surgery, on June 27, 2019. A bit of background to connect the dots (Remember Connecting the dots when you were a child?) I had a knee replacement onContinue reading “THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT – AGAIN!!!”

Writer’s Quote Wednesday: Dorothy Thompson

American journalist and news broadcaster Dorothy Thompson (July 9, 1893 – January 30, 1961) was one of the most respected women of her time. The first woman to head a foreign news bureau of any importance, she met and interviewed Adolf Hitler in 1931, and three years later…

ANTHONY BOURDAIN (1956 – 2018)

I came upon this article in a unusual way – by way of Facebook, in the middle of the night, unable to sleep in an uncomfortable bed at my Convalescence Center after my second knee surgery on June 27th. (The Universe is teaching me the art of patience AGAIN and AGAIN! Patience is not myContinue reading “ANTHONY BOURDAIN (1956 – 2018)”

THE SIXTH OF JULY! CARTOONS & NO COMMENTARY!!

BACK WHEN (1978) when I was having a love affair with the theatre and acting, I saw a play at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. It made a lasting impression on me. I thought about it a lot yesterday. Actually, ever since then, I think of it every fifth of July – theContinue reading “THE SIXTH OF JULY! CARTOONS & NO COMMENTARY!!”

UPDATE – WONDERFUL MOMENTS aka MIRACLES! -“SIX DAYS IN JUNE, 2019”

YES!! Six wonderful days in June!! I loved every moment. The arrival, the family dinners, and the farewell. Those moments were precious to me. Just knowing they were down the street was comforting to me. Getting to hug them both. Seeing their happy faces in the pictures they were posting for friends back home. ItContinue reading “UPDATE – WONDERFUL MOMENTS aka MIRACLES! -“SIX DAYS IN JUNE, 2019””

PARTY OF ONE

I read an article the other day that included a “Loners’ Manifesto.” So, I made a note to write about it because I can be a reluctant socializer. Steve was the same way. We both preferred staying home. Now that he is gone, I am still a reluctant socializer. From time to time, I haveContinue reading “PARTY OF ONE”

He and Jean will only be here for a few days, but that is OK. I can’t do what I used to be ableContinue reading “Wonderful Moments aka Miracles!”

UP THE HILL!

The Park. The Monastery. The garden. The ancient city. It is all there – up the hill from my house. A mere bus ride away. In the park, there is a track that circles it. Runner, walkers, bicyclists, all use the track. And, in doing so, they pass the remains of the ancient Roman city ofContinue reading “UP THE HILL!”
