My sweet mama turned 70 this year. She decided to celebrate it BIG, and I think it’s terrific. Yesterday, she left for Spain to walk the last 70 miles of the Camino de Santiago. I mean … how neat is THAT? After a day of travel, via New York and Madrid, she arrived in the […]
In light of the nearly daily news, I thought I might share this site to explore: Everytown I wrote the following commentary last spring and published it here on this blog. But, why not again? “Snapshots in Time” *** My son and I were driving in the car recently. We got stuck in traffic, because […]
Welcome to spring! Does it feel like it around you? Here, not so much. Arizona last week … not so much! But, perhaps somewhere? Here is a little three things update on this first Sunday of spring. 3. Jameson is interested in everything Japanese. He has been begging for a trip to Japan, would like […]
Hello again. Colorado gave us a long and very sincere winter. I didn’t mind it. I took a deep dive into the hygge part of my DNA. I did lots of reading, baking, and resting, but not a lot of writing here. March 5 today. I can hardly believe it. Winter is not over; in […]
Mom and I woke up to our last day in Paris with a sigh. It had gone too quickly, of course, but this we knew before we embarked. We planned to spend this last bit with leisure, strolling and shopping along the Left Bank. The morning brought sunshine with simultaneous sprinkles of rain. Umbrellas popped […]
I made sure to turn off my alarm clock on this day, feeling sure I would still wake early as usual. But, oops, jet lag caught us! We were both dreamily asleep come 8:30 a.m., which was une situation d’urgence – an emergency! Why? Because we had to get to our culinary tour at 9:30. […]
Happy 2023, my friends. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you a happier, more peaceful, more healthful year than the last, regardless of what 2022 did or did not fulfill for you. I do not have any grand resolutions or marked plans to turn over this new leaf, so I don’t have those […]
Rrrrrriiinnnnngggggg … the alarm! … still programmed to 5:00 a.m. as per usual Monday mornings … how did I forget to turn that off? Rule number one of vacations, and I blew it. And yet, it only took me thirty seconds to remember that I wasn’t waking up to go to work. I was waking […]
This year, my mother turned 70 and I turned 40. In the spirit of celebrating one another and enjoying this short life, we took a trip to Paris together. We chose December, in part, because it is my birthday month, but also because neither of us had visited in the winter before. So, why not […]
2022 From our family to yours May your days be merry and bright … and may all your Christmases be white.
