 Today is "Thank You" note day.
The list of who I need to write a thank you note to
 is here at my desk along with sweet cards.
But...
I keep going to the dining room 
and sitting at the new jigsaw puzzle that is begging 
for attention.
The puzzle consists of dozens of images 
that have spirals. 
The colors are beautiful.
To beautiful to ignore and 
write thank you notes.
What are YOU doing today?
Love you beyond the moon.

Alice In Wonderland

Photo: Lily plant from Larry


 I have a bad case of the blues.
Painting, reading, working on a jigsaw puzzle
and
 playing on Ancestry.com
 always helps me fall into a rabbit hole 
where I lose all track of time
 and keep my mind occupied.

Just like Alice In Wonderland.
Did you know that Larry is my Mad Hatter?
Love you beyond the moon.

Christmas Past #16

Photo: 2001-Pere Lachaise Cemetery

 Because our Christmas photo
 was usually taken around Thanksgiving time,
 when we were often in France, 
we caught interesting adventures on film.
In 2001, our photo was taken at
 Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
That year we went on an adventure, 
to see the famous head-stones, 
 pay respects to those lost 
and the photo just happened....
I honestly cannot remember
 who's idea it was. 
It is the moodiest of all holiday photos

Please have the best day today that you can imagine.
Love you beyond the moon.

Photo 2025

 In France this year, we were out 
shopping/strolling and had an 
impromptu photo shoot at
 Luxembourg Gardens. 
At the Medici Fountain to be exact.
There were so many people 
 as the day was beautiful. 
We walked back to the main
 part of the fountain,
took a few shots....
and YAY! 
Larry propped his phone up 
against a shopping bag and set the timer. 
It was that easy and I love the picture. 
It reminds me of such a 
wonderful day while on holiday.
I wish you a good day today.
Love you beyond the moon.

Christmas Past #14

Photo:2018

 This Christmas picture was taken at a new apartment, that was across the street from UNESCO-Paris.
I loved staying over in this part of town...and this is the year that Larry had broken the apartment TV and had to take a taxi to buy a new one.
It snowed in Paris while we were there...it was lovely on the balcony while it was snowing.
One of my favorite photos of Larry was taken on this balcony....

Reliving these holiday memories have been wonderful and difficult. But I am getting the important photos saved and posted....a good start for the new year!

Love you beyond the moon.

Christmas Past #13

Photo:2014

When the above picture was taken, we were renting a sweet, small apartment on rue de Segur in Paris. We rented that apartment for 10 years. It was WONDERFUL, the location and the apartment.
(the kitchen was so tiny with a huge refrigerator)
This photo was taken across the street 
from that sweet apartment 
in the 7th arrondissement, Paris FR.
*****
Such memories live in my heart. 
I wish you the same happy moments.

These past photo posts on blog, 
are not in order, date wise.

Love you beyond the moon.
