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!”

SOME PÂQUES THOUGHTS – 2019 IN NICE, FRANCE

At this time of the year, I find my soul searching for answers – something definite that I can hold onto. And my mind works overtime, waiting for the rest of me to catch up. (sigh). So, today – a férié in France (holiday), I decided to write this week’s blog. And, I am filledContinue reading “SOME PÂQUES THOUGHTS – 2019 IN NICE, FRANCE”

THE JOURNALS

OK, this is more than you ever wanted to know, AND more than I ever thought I would expose. It is true confessions combined with book promotion. Haha. Grab a coffee! Here goes…… When I was in my 30’s, I moved from a relatively small southern town in Georgia to Los Angeles, California. July 1968. Continue reading “THE JOURNALS”

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”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT – THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

One of the perks for me in watching International CNN in France, is that I get to see the Christiane Amanpour program. She is host of CNN International’s nightly interview program “Amanpour”. It reminds me of the days when Jinx Falkenburg, one of America’s highest paid cover-girl models during World War II – with herContinue reading “FOOD FOR THOUGHT – THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES”
