Well, Rasta has my bed, but I have my golden cloud so all is well…. ***** Mama went bonkers over the open market in Aix en Provence. It really is a marvel…and this is only a tiny corner of it. And this is just a corner…I think mama is stuck over in the cheese section! More as we explore…...

I just put in this Loonypic because we are all so happy around here about you know who and it looked like a happy start to Wordless Wednesday. ***** And it may be wordless Wednesday but we just have to tell you how overjoyed we were to read your comments about chosing your family and we feel  that you are all part of ours a little bit more each day as you...

Uh, oh, this is now Rasta’s ball….uh…my ex-ball.. You caught me! ***** Well, mama gets all these sayings lately on gmail and has no idea from whence they come but this one is very timely — show us the Epstein files!!!! “Withholding information is the essence of tyranny. Control of the flow of information is the tool of the...

  Is my conscience really an INSECT? Wow, the things I never knew… The more you obey your conscience, the more your conscience will demand of you. C.S. Lewis Which meant to me and mama that to be friends with one’s conscience is a step in a very interesting direction, because we will always meet up with queries and quandaries that need...

I see a red moon arisin’…🎶 Tonight the moon is supposed to be spectacular in many places, but mama’s friend in Hawaii says she won’t be able to see it. Hmmm….looking that one up. Oops, can’t be seen in many places so we’re not sure we will see it either, but the moon this week has been truly lovely so perhaps...

Today we thank all of the 100 (and perhaps more who have not yet spoken out of fear or shame) victims of Epstein and Trump and any other male predator who caused terrible pain and suffering in these women’s lives. We laud their courage, and even as they spoke, Trump sent an army plane to fly over and drown out their truths. Typical behavior. They are...

Shh…Wordless winds are blowing softly today as another end of a golden summer afternoon is upon us. Along with you know who… Mama is giving him his little early dinner as I write, so he has once again guided her hand to the paté and is eating happily in our garden. He is getting a little picky, if you ask me, but no one did. That kitty keeps me...

Quel jour! Papa is, I think, becoming a teensy bit attached to Mr You Know Who, non? Well, papa was telling mama about Rasta this morning and how he, Rasta, was a bit standoffish when he didn’t get his snuggle with papa for a couple of days and then papa went out to the garden ao see how he was, Rasta, that is, and after a bit of cold shoulder, Mr R...

  This is going to be a quickie because of all the action around here, not the LEAST of which is that kitty staring at papa through our French door with that ‘don’t you want to come play a little, papa’ look… Shameless, that Rasta… But I am making a Splash instead (Splash from Lunipic). ***** And tomorrow Labor Day, which...

Well, I know that’s confusing but mama missed Thursday and is helping me to both Thursday and Saturday together and she’s even going pretty fast on these because of lack of time. Getting ready for a long trip is not as easy when your washing machine door breaks and water is all over the floor and you have a saggy bed that needs replacing and...
