On June 8, 2016, Steve and I drove to Marseille to spend the night so that we would be in town early the next morning to meet his Auntie Gloria and cousin, Erica. They were passing through Marseille on a Carnival Cruise, and we all wanted to spend time together for a day. WeContinue reading “A MEMORY IN MARSEILLE – JUNE 9, 2016”

JUST WONDERING……..
Often, from time to time, I read something that I save for no good reason. Somehow, it speaks to me. Not too long ago, I read this – probably on Facebook, and it spoke to me. Today, I want to share it with you. I want to thank the author – Author Unknown – forContinue reading “JUST WONDERING……..”
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…….”
JAYSPEAK SPEAKS –

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!”
“TRA LA, IT’S MAY, IT’S MAY ….”
“Tra la, it’s May, the lusty Month of May That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray Tra la, it’s here, that shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear It’s May, It’s May, that gorgeous holiday When every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad It’s mad, it’sContinue reading ““TRA LA, IT’S MAY, IT’S MAY ….””
“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””
A MIXED BAG
Today, I am trying to “let go”. Don’t misunderstand, I do this every day!! It is my nature to hold on and try to control. Haha. If you don’t believe me, ask my kids. And, when things don’t go the way I want, I try to “fix” it, and when I cannot, I get “upset”. Continue reading “A MIXED BAG”
“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 ….””
“JUST WONDERING….”
I consider myself a “photographer” – sorta, kinda – if taking a camera and shooting a picture counts. Haha. No training, no planning – just doing it A LOT. With digital cameras and Google storage, I photograph everything. If you and I were having a coffee, chances are I would have a picture of youContinue reading ““JUST WONDERING….””
