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. Wise-wannabe’s attempting to solve life’s problems. (Haha. We wish.) It is fun! Twenty or thirty women who live in the South ofContinue reading “THE WISDOM CAFE”

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 “JOURNAL OF JANET TALLULAH, VOLUME 2”
“Journal of Janet Tallulah, Volume 2 was published this week. (amazon.com and smashwords.com) These Journals, Volume 1 and Volume 2, are the realization of my lifelong dream to publish my journals. Both are intensely personal. I think of them in the following way: Journal 1 is the hatching of a baby chicken – rough aroundContinue reading “#SmartAuthor “JOURNAL OF JANET TALLULAH, VOLUME 2””
ALLEZ-HOPS! cave à bière
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. Now, those of you who know me or have seen my pictures KNOW that I am a wine drinker. White at lunch; red at night. That wasn’t always the case.Continue reading “ALLEZ-HOPS! cave à bière”
#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!”
AUGUST 2017
Nothing is quite like the month of August. Someone should write a song – like Gilbert and Sullivan. Something like “It’s May. It’s May. The Lusty Month of May!” ALL of France goes on “holiday”. The rest of the world comes to town – to eat, to swim, to sunbathe, to dance, to sight-see. TouristContinue reading “AUGUST 2017”
THE BEACH AND ME
This week, I went to the beach in Nice. That is a big deal. It only took me TWO YEARS!! Well, that is not true. Steve and I walked along the Promenade almost every Sunday and sometimes more. I walk to the Sea on my Sea-trek’s. I went swimming in the Sea while Steve andContinue reading “THE BEACH AND ME”
CHRISTMAS IN PARIS
“Everyone should see Paris at Christmas time at least once a lifetime.” said Steve. Jay replied, “Sounds good to me”. That was the way it began. I booked an Airbnb in the Marais for four nights; we bought easyJet round trip tickets to Paris-Charles de Gaulle; we packed what few clothes we had for coldContinue reading “CHRISTMAS IN PARIS”
