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!”
“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””
“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….””
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”
