THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT!
Yesterday was France’s “Labor Day”, aka La Fête du Travail. It was a day when I did a lot of nothing. A meeting with my landlord in the morning, but after that, a lot of nothing. It was a public holiday and a key day for the celebration of workers’ rights all over the country,Continue reading “THIS IS MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT!”
SOME PÂQUES THOUGHTS – 2019 IN NICE, FRANCE

CHOOSE THE UNCOMFORTABLE.
“We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.” (Denis Waitley) WELLLLLL, it is never too late. I may still be blooming!! I like to think so, anyway.

CARNAVAL DE NICE
This is my 4th February in Nice, and I STILL have not gone to a Carnaval Parade. Why, you ask? …Well, it could be because I don’t like events with crowds. Never did – except for the GHS football games. But, rock concerts and such, no. I liked to go to the Hollywood Bowl. ThatContinue reading “CARNAVAL DE NICE”
