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!”

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”

THE WISDOM CAFE
The Wisdom Café is a made-up name for a group of women – all ages, all nationalities – who meet twice a month at a restaurant, Les Pierres Rouges, in Valbonne, France.

This is a Christmas shout-out for Allez-HOPS! What is Allez-HOPS, you ask? It is cave à bière (beer cellar) in the heart of Nice, France.

TYPICAL MORNING WALKS – NOVEMBRE 2017
I have had a love affair with the Sea for as long as I can remember. There is something about being near it that satisfies my longing for peace, even for a moment. In 1968, I traveled across the United States to live by the Sea. (Yes, I know, the Atlantic was closer, but IContinue reading “TYPICAL MORNING WALKS – NOVEMBRE 2017”
#SmartAuthor “FIGURING THINGS OUT”
From one #SmartAuthor to others, I continue to be ‘berry beezy’ in France, figuring things out. It is not easy, being an expat. Each day is full of its own challenges in real life and online. Nothing is as it seems – like opening a door, flushing the john, turning on water, working an elevator,Continue reading “#SmartAuthor “FIGURING THINGS OUT””
#SmartAuthor WRITE THAT BOOK!! JUST DO IT!!
#smartauthor I started writing in 2012. Well, that is not really true. I started writing when I was a little girl. The first “Diary” I have is dated 1949. I wanted to record things – thoughts, secrets, events. I want to spend time with my best friend – ME. During the day, I “behaved” –Continue reading “#SmartAuthor WRITE THAT BOOK!! JUST DO IT!!”
