Below are some photos of me that were taken at various times in my life. I was looking at these photos and wondering where the time went. These were taken over a time span of about 15 years.It saddened me to look at these because I knew I could no longer go back and be the person in these photos. I have changed and I would like to think that I have taken with me a new and better person. That

When we sold our home and moved into an apartment in Dallas, we found it very challenging to find a patio that overlooked something other than a parking lot or the window of another apartment until...we found this view. (Click to Enlarge Photo) This overlooks The Sculptured Garden in our complex and I must say sitting on our patio has never been more enjoyable. With trees nearby, we often see

Oh to be a child again (sigh). I never learned to ice skate but I can roller skate. Given that, we and by we I mean our son, and the both of us decided to see if the grandkids wanted to learn how to skate. So ... we enrolled them in lessons. Once a week on Saturday for the next 6 weeks Josh and Isabella will be trying to learn how to ice skate. Each session is 30 minutes long and is probably

Bonjour,As I promised, here is what my take on this book is: This book starts out in the year of 1962. It is a book about three ordinary women who's lives take a turn when they decide to work on a secretive project that will not only change the way they view each other but also on how the outcome of this project changes their individual lives. Aibileen, a black maid who is a servant for the

My Goodness!! It has been soooooo very long since I last posted and I have plenty to share with you. First off, we have finally sold our home and moved into Dallas, Texas. We were never really very far from here anyway (around 2 1/2 hours). It is good to be here near our grandchildren and son. We are now watching the children daily and they have been staying with us at night as our son has

Bonjour,It has been a very long time since I posted anything due to computer problems which required us to replace our Dell with a new computer, an Apple I Mac. It has been an easier transition learning this system than I thought and once you learn the in's and outs, it is very user friendly.So, with that being said, I will fill you in on the various things that have transpired since my last

Bonjour,Yesterday I took my granddaughter, Isabella, who is going to be 4 next month to get a mini manicure/pedicure. She loves to have her fingernails/toenails painted as well as applying lip "goss" to her lips. She is quite the "girly girl".This picture shows her when we first arrived at the nail salon.In this photo, she is a little concerned about the the long padded sleeves they are putting

With summer officially here, I can think of no better way to relax and enjoy the sun than by sitting on the porch with a good book and an ice cold drink...perhaps tea, iced coffee, water or a cool ice cream drink by my side. After recently reading Prayers for Sale, I received my order from Amazon on two delightful books I can't wait to read.The Allure of Chanel was written by Paul Morand who was

Bonjour,I thought today I would give you a "preview" of a book I just finished. It's title, Prayers for Sale, was written by author, Sandra Dallas. This novel takes place in Middle Swan, Colorado during the depression in 1936. It is the story of a women named Illa Mae who was given the nickname of "Hennie" and stories of her life in the small community that she shares with a newcomer named Nit, a

Who does not love the ballet and all of the grace and beauty that surrounds the music of the dance? I have always wanted to see a ballet and was awe struck when I saw this small preview of the ballet "Swan Lake" on You Tube. Swan Lake was one of the most popular ballets from the 19th century. This classic fairytale filled with princes, princesses, evil, and true love is about Prince Siegfried's
