Thinking of Paris

Photo: Snow In Paris from our rooms.

 Our friends in France are experiencing a heat wave like none other.

Remember, soon enough,

 there will be a chill in the air.

Anne-Marie, take care....

Love you beyond the moon.

Monday Morning

 Larry is the best father I know... 

and yesterday was the perfect Fathers Day.(2026)

This morning greeted me with 

heavy thunder storms

and a huge case of the blues.

Happy Monday.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Birthday Girl

Our second daughter was born on a hot, first day of summer, in Memphis Tennessee.

It was 5:00 in the afternoon and she was almost born in the hallway of Methodist Hospital.

Thank goodness she wasn't.

Jamison. My buddy.

May she enjoy the special moments that a birthday brings....and the love that only a family can give.

Happy Birthday Dear Jami.

I love you beyond the moon.

Mother.

New Growth

Photo-Birds Nest Fern by Robin

A Birds Nest Fern plant sits on the

 breakfast bar at The Cottage.

I am not sure if I am taking care 

of it the correct way,

but it has new growth.

It is Thursday already and

I have had a head ache for two days. 

The dog that lives behind us will not stop barking,

and it is agitating both Larry and me.

I guess the "dog days" have started early this year.

Love you beyond the moon.

Full Circle

Photo: A Little Book

Last week, while  cleaning the book shelves,  

I found a little book that had fallen

 behind some of the shorter books.

I hate when that happens...

when they fall like that 

it is almost as they have fallen 

into a black hole never 

to be found again, 

but in this instance, 

the book was found. 

I opened it.....

It was a Christmas (stocking) gift 

to Larry from me.

Larry had been to France with a 

dear friend the year before,

and we were planning a 

family trip to Paris that year.

But 1995 was the year my Mother died.

When I found this tiny book last week,

I became sad all over again.

Isn't it interesting how life goes 

full circle when you least expect it?

Love you beyond the moon.
