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.”
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Food for thought….. A client of mine, Len Indianer, sent me these interesting predictions in an email, yesterday. It was an email sent to several people. I am passing it along. More about Len Indianer in a minute. “INTERESTING PREDICTIONS…. In a recent interview, the Head of Daimler Benz (Mercedes Benz) said their competitors are no longerContinue reading “FOOD FOR THOUGHT”

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. 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”
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”
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””
