YES!! Six wonderful days in June!! I loved every moment. The arrival, the family dinners, and the farewell. Those moments were precious to me. Just knowing they were down the street was comforting to me. Getting to hug them both. Seeing their happy faces in the pictures they were posting for friends back home. ItContinue reading “UPDATE – WONDERFUL MOMENTS aka MIRACLES! -“SIX DAYS IN JUNE, 2019””

PARTY OF ONE
I read an article the other day that included a “Loners’ Manifesto.” So, I made a note to write about it because I can be a reluctant socializer. Steve was the same way. We both preferred staying home. Now that he is gone, I am still a reluctant socializer. From time to time, I haveContinue reading “PARTY OF ONE”
UP THE HILL!
The Park. The Monastery. The garden. The ancient city. It is all there – up the hill from my house. A mere bus ride away. In the park, there is a track that circles it. Runner, walkers, bicyclists, all use the track. And, in doing so, they pass the remains of the ancient Roman city ofContinue reading “UP THE HILL!”
ACTIVE OR PASSIVE VOICE – PLANS!
This is one of those days when I will write something, but as I start this blank document, I am not sure where this post is going. There are a LOT of things I DON’T want to write about, so let’s see what I include. For no good reason, I feel good this morning. ThatContinue reading “ACTIVE OR PASSIVE VOICE – PLANS!”
A COMING-OF-AGE STORY! HaHa!!
First of all, a SHOUT-OUT to all us mothers – Happy Mother’s Day!! That said, those of you who know me, know that I have wanted to speak French since I was at the University of Wisconsin in spring of 1956, taking a class in Conversational French. AND, if you think I am bad now,Continue reading “A COMING-OF-AGE STORY! HaHa!!”
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
At this time of the year, I find my soul searching for answers – something definite that I can hold onto. And my mind works overtime, waiting for the rest of me to catch up. (sigh). So, today – a férié in France (holiday), I decided to write this week’s blog. And, I am filledContinue reading “SOME PÂQUES THOUGHTS – 2019 IN NICE, FRANCE”
THE JOURNALS
OK, this is more than you ever wanted to know, AND more than I ever thought I would expose. It is true confessions combined with book promotion. Haha. Grab a coffee! Here goes…… When I was in my 30’s, I moved from a relatively small southern town in Georgia to Los Angeles, California. July 1968. Continue reading “THE JOURNALS”
“ONCE UPON A TIME……”
Once upon a time, in a small town in the southern part of the United States, a town named Gainesville, Georgia, there lived a young couple, a beautiful young girl named Anna Louise, called “Anna Lou” and a handsome young man named Jesse Jewell – aka Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Jewell. They lived in aContinue reading ““ONCE UPON A TIME……””
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. The latest urge is to move to Paris. I started immediately with the “but, how can IContinue reading “CHOOSE THE UNCOMFORTABLE.”
