We all know that a woman is entitled to change her mind. Quite frequently if she’s a Gemini. And, when she comes back from France with bronchitis, morphing into pneumonia, that sidelines her for a couple of months during the Holidays and beyond; even more entitled to change her mind. Now before we get into […]
Sometimes, you know when it’s right. On the drive from Leon airport to San Miguel de Allende, I knew San Miguel would suit us. I was right. As we climbed higher and higher up the narrow road, our ears popped. We were in the Central Mexican Highlands, headed to an altitude of over 6200 feet. […]
Well, it’s that time of year…you know it’s hot! To give you a little background on my annual post, I started the series ‘You know it’s hot when’…way back in 2008. Obviously it was HOT and my son was very ill. The heat didn’t help. I started rambling…you know it’s hot when…and he started laughing. […]
If you read my blog, you might recognize this title. When life gives you lemons you can either make lemonade or throw those suckers out. I’ve made gallons of lemonade in my life but I’ve also thrown out more than my share of rotten lemons. And that’s okay. Yesterday I lost 2 posts from April, […]
Bureaucracy is a French word. Period. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it: The term “bureaucracy” is French in origin, and combines the French word – bureau – desk or office – with the Greek word Kratos – rule or political power. It was coined in the mid-18th century by the French economist […]
We always enjoy traveling to France and on this visit we found a little piece of paradise. We may have found the area we hope to call home…more on that later. This is just an overview on an extraordinary trip. Still pinching myself. We arrived on a cold, snowy morning. Stepping out of the airport […]
Chances are you’ve seen Vaux-le-Vicomte but didn’t realize it. Actress Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker married there. 70 movies to date have been filmed in this sumptuous château including Moon Raker, The Man in the Iron Mask, and Marie-Antoinette. The BBC series Versailles was also filmed in this opulent château…fitting as Vaux-le-Vicomte was […]
Yes, my traveling man is 35 today. Happy, happy birthday J.W. I don’t believe birthdays end when someone you love dies. SO, as long as I live…WE CELEBRATE! I find it unbelievable that this is your third birthday in Heaven. I was talking to a “friend” (I know you are reading between the lines) the […]
It’s the trick, trickiest time of the year! It’s also the last post of 2017 unless a miracle occurs. I believe in miracles so you never know. The last post I found my Ho Ho Ho. A few days ago I lost HO one and HO two. I was at the dentist’s office to visit […]
The HO HO HO is back. The last three years I haven’t felt like decorating for Christmas. It’s not about the decorations anyway. Last year when I began the “get out of Dodge” house purge, I gave away the majority of our decorations. I should say MY decorations since Ray came into the marriage with zero […]
