It’s never easy to bid farewell. We all suffer loss. We all grieve. We all ache. We all remember. A dear friend is gone but never will be forgotten. Death is Nothing at All Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you.Continue reading “Farewell to a friend”

‘Tis the season … and Tameri is here too!
Today was our 4-year-old grandson’s Christmas concert. They are still allowed to use that title at his school and rightly so as the greatest majority of families in that community celebrate Christmas … not necessarily from the religious perspective. IMHO, it was just the way a Christmas concert should be with excited, joyful children proudlyContinue reading “‘Tis the season … and Tameri is here too!”

Pinch me!
If it’s Friday, it must be France … Ooops – I’m late again – I know it’s Saturday, but we have company and I’m attempting to sneak this post in while still being a somewhat gracious hostess.

Choopy’s Cupcakes and Coffee Shop
If it’s Friday, it must be France … Mon Dieu, what a day I’ve had! There’s malware in my Hotmail apparently sending messages to everyone in my address book that I’m in distress in Greece and need money! It took a few hours of phone calls to Microsoft for them to figure out why IContinue reading “Choopy’s Cupcakes and Coffee Shop”
Pass me another tissue please
I’ve been wiping tears from my eyes all week with the Olympics under way. Every time there is a medal presentation and the winners emotionally respond to their national anthem, so do I. Do you only choose certain events to watch in the Olympic Games? I watch more television during the Olympics than any otherContinue reading “Pass me another tissue please”

It it’s Friday, it must be France … During the next two weeks there will be many gold medals awarded at the Olympic Games in London, England.
