The Paris Hat

 In Paris this year, we had reservations at one of Larry's favorite restaurants. It was very cold out and we took a taxi to the restaurant.

Dinner was spectacular, the wine was awesome 

and it was an evening to remember.

We decided to take a romantic 

walk back to the apartment.

It was SO COLD outside that night.

I was freezing during the walk....

we passed the Cathedral of Notre Dame on the way home, where there are dozens of souvenir shops, and they are open very late.

Yes. I did that thing.

I bought a Paris tourist hat.

Larry laughed so hard at me, and I think that there is a selfie of us somewhere around here 

with me in that hat.

The point of this story is,

I had to get "that hat" out this week.

 It is so cold in Texas

and it is one of the warmest hats I own.

(but I don't love it)

"A woman's hat is close to her heart

though she wears it on her head, it is her way of saying to the world:

See, this is what I am like-Or-this is what I would like to be."

Please stay warm today.

Love you beyond the moon.

Without Bread

On Sunday, I made the perfect 

loaf of focaccia Bread.

It was 16 degrees outside and I was miserable.

But, making bread does 

something to my heart and brain.

"Without bread, all is misery"...

Sunday Dinner and a Movie

 We have been snowed (iced) in since Friday.

Our town is shutdown and it is 

16 degrees outside this morning.

Happy Monday.

Yesterday Larry prepared a cheese plate dinner. 

I made a loaf of focaccia bread  

and dipping oil to go with Larry's creation.

Our Sunday movie was 

Larry said, Song Sung Blue was 

a pleasant surprise.

(we watch ALL Academy Award 

nominated movies this time of year)

Watching nominated movies gets us out of rut 

of the traditional movies that we typically watch.

We still have a few movies on the list to watch.

My favorite nominated move so far is

HAMNET.

Love you beyond the moon.

Buddha and Wine

Today's picture was taken in the back garden.

Wine is chilling in 15 degree temps.

(for only a few moments)

The back garden is iced over 

and our neighborhood is still and quiet.

I am totally creeped out.

Love you beyond the moon.

 Today is a snow day in Plano.

We have movies planned, a game of chess and

Along with the snow, are bitter cold temps.

Wherever you are, 

please stay warm and enjoy 

Saturday moments.

Love you beyond the moon.

Try To Be Happy-It Is Friday

Photo: My Larry

 I was totally down in the dumps a few days ago.

Larry said, come along,

I am taking you out to dinner.

We ended up at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants,

 and my favorite part of the meal was,

this portrait I took of Larry.

Try to be happy today. Happy Friday.

Love you beyond the moon.
