Free-wheelin’Friday
My fave position, duh… Well, it’s obvious that I can’t fill these in, so you know who is doing it: 1. The last thing I cooked was __shrimp curry and chapatis. 2. When I go out to eat, my usual order is __anything new and different. Now I’ll take over: 3. I feel most comfortable when __on my back getting a tummy rub. Mama’s back. I don’t purchase anything, haha. It’s all free! 4. I...
read moreTeacher Thanks!
Let’s hear it for TEACHERS! Well, this is a lovely, uplifting story. This dedicated woman is the kind of teacher all kids should have. Thanks go to teachers everywhere who take part in their students’ lives to the extent that the student comes away with a true sense of ethics and how to live in this complicated world. Sometimes I think it is especially difficult for young anthros who are growing up with the...
read moreWow Wednesday
WOW! SO many of you saw the eclipse! Merci for all of the very good reports on your experiences. Maybe we’ll get to Spain in 2026 for the next one as it’s just 20 minutes from where we live to the border. (PS: That feather I am clutching was dropped in MY garden and I can’t figure out just what birdie gave me such a gift, haha.) (PSS: If you wonder why there are backgrounds...
read moreTickle Tuesday
Are there any? Donc, are there just some things in life that tickle you pink? Mama is really ticklish on her tootsies, but I’m talking about just being really surprised and amazed and delighted about something that you think about all day and say to yourself, WOW, was that wonderful, who knew? I think this eclipse generated news about those who had seen a few and mama just loved that a 105-year-old man had...
read moreMonday Mews
THINGS ARE: LOOKING UP! Well, here’s a thought. Especially important this week. LOOK UP! Mama has noticed that sightseeers in Rome or just about anywhere tend to look straight ahead or down (at what they might be stepping on, as cobblestones can throw one a curve, whatever that is, and of course there might be doggie poo) or at their cell phones (!) and if they looked UP more often, they would find surprising marvels...
read moreSun Spots
Or rather, NO-sun spots, haha. Are you in the path of the eclipse or out of it? Might it get a bit darker in your town or city and could we PLEASE hear about what it was like? We are so sorry this magical event is not in France! I know that sometimes you are not able to get the link from the Washington Post, but this scientist has wonderful info about an eclipse, so...
read moreHas Beans
A little Lunapic montage of some of the places I have…er…watered, which is why we have THIS: But mama’s garden guru neighbor was showing her his broad bean crop that he planted in October (the best month to plant them) and mama was lamenting that she had only the little flowers because she planted in November, a bit late, and then she went out to see if our high, high winds had blown all...

These fill-in spaces were GREAT, thank you fill-in-thinker-uppers! 1. I plan to __give papa birthday greetings in April. 2. My favorite kind of muffin is __well, not the kind that hangs over shorts or pants, haha 3. Nice things_ always seems to happen when I _least expect it. 4. Making mama and papa feel much better about all of this past difficulty_ has been on my to-do list for a long time. And they do,...
read moreThank Tank
Mama, that’s a stretch… Haha, get it? Think tank, thank tank? Okay…let’s move on. So many thanks to readers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there. Thank you, garden, for lovely early roses and radishes. Thank you, rain, for making the lemon food granules go into the ground without having mama dig them in! Thank you, sun, for coming out more often and making our little village all flowery; window boxes blooming,...
read moreWacky Wordless Wednesday
Well, we’ll start with this wordless ironing of papa’s jeans. It needs to be done correctly, n’est-ce paw? Segue… My Yoda impersonation (for Comedy Plus, haha), and then this…which “speaks” for itself, haha. Have a wild Wednesday – walk, watch, wish, wangle, write, wander, maybe even get in a little waltz, or something wacky🤸‍♂️!...
