There are so many plot twists going on right now that I am dizzy. The woods are on fire in the United States; revelry is happening on the streets of Nice; and skill extraordinary is on display in the mountains and flats of South Korea. When I turn on the television, I don’t know whetherContinue reading “PLOT TWISTS”

THE SEA SPEAKS TO ME
I call it “Seaspeak”. It is true – the Sea speaks to me. It always has, but now more than ever. When I walk by the Sea in the mornings, I have a favorite place to sit and face the sun. I let go. It never fails. I walk away, feeling better. These are fewContinue reading “THE SEA SPEAKS TO ME”
SATURDAY IN MOUGINS – January 20, 2018
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.”

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”
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!”
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””
DODGER BASEBALL AND STEVE ORLANDELLA
How ’bout them Dodgers!! YES! Here’s to the Dodgers! MY baseball team. OUR baseball team. Win or lose, Dodger Blue forever!!
