June 19th is my friend Pamela Keilson’s birthday. To celebrate, Pamela, Margaret Keith, and I got luncheon reservations at La Chevre d’Or in Eze. The three of us took the 82 bus from Nice to Eze, excited about spending the day celebrating Pamela life at one of the most gorgeous spots on earth. Needless toContinue reading “PAMELA’S BIRTHDAY!”

A HAPPENING…….
When I leave in the mornings to go for my walks, I never know if I will be inspired to shoot photographs or not. Since I consider myself a “photographer” of sorts – with a fan base (haha), I have an obligation to get shots that I think are good. AND, I am very criticalContinue reading “A HAPPENING…….”
CANNES 2018!
This year, the American Club of the Riviera (ACR) arranged its luncheon in the very middle of the Croisette, right in the midst of all “the players” and atmosphere of the Cannes International Film Festival, on Saturday, May 12, 2018. We were invited to have lunch with ACR members and guests at the Vegaluna Beach RestaurantContinue reading “CANNES 2018!”
“THE YACHT AND I”
Reality checks are the pits. Every time I have one (that I recognize – haha), I feel that “pit” in bottom of my stomach. Yesterday, as I was working on this post, the “Thoughtful Mind Inspiring Quote for April 28th, 2018” (that I receive each day by email) was the following, “All things are subjectContinue reading ““THE YACHT AND I””
“AFTER THE RAIN ….”
This spring, it has rained a lot in Nice. More than I remember last year, or the year before. Being from Los Angeles where it seldom rains, I enjoy rainy days. But, last week, it rained every day. Ugh. Cabin fever, galore. By Friday, I was walking, no matter if I got drenched. And, trueContinue reading ““AFTER THE RAIN ….””
PONDERING FRENCH CREATIVITY….
The aphorism that I am pondering this week is this one: “One creates from nothing. If you try to create from something, you’re just changing something. So, in order to create something, you first have to be able to create nothing.” Say what? How can you create nothing? There is always something. Take the FrenchContinue reading “PONDERING FRENCH CREATIVITY….”
A WINTER WALK IN NICE
This is my third winter in Nice, France. In comparison to the other places I have lived, it is nice. Not warm, like Los Angeles, California. Not cold with ice storms, like Gainesville, Georgia. Not FREEZING, like Madison, Wisconsin. Not mild, like San Antonio, Texas. But, as winters go, Nice winters are different. Cold. (Usually) VeryContinue reading “A WINTER WALK IN NICE”
PLOT TWISTS
There are so many plot twists going on right now that I am dizzy. The woods are on fire in the United States; revelry is happening on the streets of Nice; and skill extraordinary is on display in the mountains and flats of South Korea. When I turn on the television, I don’t know whetherContinue reading “PLOT TWISTS”
THE SEA SPEAKS TO ME
I call it “Seaspeak”. It is true – the Sea speaks to me. It always has, but now more than ever. When I walk by the Sea in the mornings, I have a favorite place to sit and face the sun. I let go. It never fails. I walk away, feeling better. These are fewContinue reading “THE SEA SPEAKS TO ME”
MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE COTE!
This is not what I had in mind when I got on the plane to Nice, France, in the fall of 2015, mind you. But, after much bemoaning and bewailing about having to downsize, I actually am enjoying my little corner of the Côte. No, I don’t have a Sea view. No, I don’t have a mountainContinue reading “MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE COTE!”
