Some additional thoughts about downsizing. I have gotten some interesting comments about getting rid of things. But, moving will usually motivate people to get started. I just am a drastic case. I started with a lot, and I now have room physically for a little. Also, I don’t have anyone who wants my stuff butContinue reading “MEMORIES REMAIN IN THE HEART”

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”
“THREE YEARS LATER – Remembering…
I know. I know. I said I was not going to write anything today. And, here I am. But, I have some thoughts that I want to share. Plus, writing brings me comfort. And, if you find this a tad “schmaltzy” (is that a word…), thank you in advance for bearing with me. Three yearsContinue reading ““THREE YEARS LATER – Remembering…”
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!”
A FAVORITE THREAD – CARTOONS & COMMENTARIES
I love to write this thread of posts. It is fun!! And, I can hide behind the cartoons to make my comments about a lot of the things I am currently observing on and off the news and/or the internet. At this point in my life, I am not up to a lot of confrontations. Continue reading “A FAVORITE THREAD – CARTOONS & COMMENTARIES”
A COMING-OF-AGE STORY! HaHa!!
First of all, a SHOUT-OUT to all us mothers – Happy Mother’s Day!! That said, those of you who know me, know that I have wanted to speak French since I was at the University of Wisconsin in spring of 1956, taking a class in Conversational French. AND, if you think I am bad now,Continue reading “A COMING-OF-AGE STORY! HaHa!!”
THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT!
Yesterday was France’s “Labor Day”, aka La Fête du Travail. It was a day when I did a lot of nothing. A meeting with my landlord in the morning, but after that, a lot of nothing. It was a public holiday and a key day for the celebration of workers’ rights all over the country,Continue reading “THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT!”
“ONCE UPON A TIME……”
Once upon a time, in a small town in the southern part of the United States, a town named Gainesville, Georgia, there lived a young couple, a beautiful young girl named Anna Louise, called “Anna Lou” and a handsome young man named Jesse Jewell – aka Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Jewell. They lived in aContinue reading ““ONCE UPON A TIME……””
CHOOSE THE UNCOMFORTABLE.
“We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.” (Denis Waitley) WELLLLLL, it is never too late. I may still be blooming!! I like to think so, anyway. The latest urge is to move to Paris. I started immediately with the “but, how can IContinue reading “CHOOSE THE UNCOMFORTABLE.”
CARNAVAL DE NICE
This is my 4th February in Nice, and I STILL have not gone to a Carnaval Parade. Why, you ask? …Well, it could be because I don’t like events with crowds. Never did – except for the GHS football games. But, rock concerts and such, no. I liked to go to the Hollywood Bowl. ThatContinue reading “CARNAVAL DE NICE”
