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”

NOW! WHERE WAS I? IT WAS 1957…… AND, I WAS IN PARIS, FRANCE, AND I……

What I have on my mind today is NOT the news. I am so alarmed and depressed about the news that I need to help myself “get a grip”. I am walking and thinking and planning and thinking until I have OVERTHOUGHT everything. Ouch. I have time. I am in Paris. I am still alive,Continue reading “NOW! WHERE WAS I? IT WAS 1957…… AND, I WAS IN PARIS, FRANCE, AND I……”

EXPERIMENTS IN CREATIVITY!

I am excited because all of this zooming has given me an idea. And, today is the beginning. This video was /is an experiment for me to work out technical difficulties with iMovie, YouTube, and WordPress. So, I will be getting all of it better as I learn more about it. But, here itContinue reading “EXPERIMENTS IN CREATIVITY!”

MAY FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MINE – PARIS! 6e AND 5e!

Today, I will treat you to some of my favorite photos that I have taken during the last two weeks of lockdown . I am going to miss the empty streets without a lot of people and clear skies with birds chirping. Yesterday, I went into some new streets in 5e and encountered some unpleasantContinue reading “MAY FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MINE – PARIS! 6e AND 5e!”

JUST SAYIN…….

This has been a wonderful week! I have gotten an excellent Vet who has helped Missy, and I have gotten a dentist in the neighborhood who cleaned my teeth. This is his waiting room. He may or may not be a keeper. I like his taste in art. And, finally, I got a housekeeper, whoContinue reading “JUST SAYIN…….”

ST-GERMAIN-DES-PRES

Talk about stumbling through antiquity, I wandered into a “church” to light my February candles for my family. The “church” was going through a lot of reconstruction, so I made my way to the candles, paid my fees, said my prayers, and lit my candles and took a picture to remind me of February blessingsContinue reading “ST-GERMAIN-DES-PRES”

NEW LIFE

This is one of those days when I have so many ideas for posts in my head that I don’t know where to start. The downsizing is taking on a life of its own and really a lot of fun. At first, I was just throwing things in the trash. I did that until IContinue reading “NEW LIFE”

THROUGH MY EYES …..

Those who know me know that I am not afraid of change. And, of late, I have been craving change of location – namely Paris. So as I begin the process of tackling all the matters that must be handled prior to a move, I found this post on Facebook. It makes sense to meContinue reading “THROUGH MY EYES …..”

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!!”
