SATURDAY IN MOUGINS – January 20, 2018

On my patio sits a old bug-eaten, weather-worn, gnarled geranium. No telling how long it has been there, or who planted it. It sits in a small flower box against the back fence. I vow to replace it every time I look at it. This morning, I took a walk around the patio, making aContinue reading “SATURDAY IN MOUGINS – January 20, 2018”

JANUARY 13TH, SATURDAY, in Nice. 2018.

Patience is not my strong suit. I have spent most of my life trying to conquer my need for instant gratification. Do it now; figure out how to deal with the consequences later. Another way to say that is, stick my hand into the fire; then figure out if it is hot. Or, out ofContinue reading “JANUARY 13TH, SATURDAY, in Nice. 2018.”

Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur

European Opera Houses have always had a special place in my heart!  Handsome men with top hats and tuxedos. Women in long gowns, wearing furs, jewels, and long gloves. Arriving in carriages.  OK, I saw lots of movies and read Dickens.  That said, I was one of the first to sign up for the AmericanContinue reading “Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur”

#SmartAuthor – THE ART OF DELUSION

This week, my son Craig (Craig MacIntosh), posted this on Facebook. Bingo! It spoke to me.  It applies to everything – life in Nice, remaining young in mind while growing old, practicing law, working as an actress, teaching, exercising, dieting, marriage, writing blogs, writing books, playing the piano, raising children, growing a garden….   Then, MarkContinue reading “#SmartAuthor – THE ART OF DELUSION”

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!

“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing; Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.” “Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fightContinue reading “HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!”
