As you have heard me say before, I love my new home in Florida.  It is a small city in Central Florida and it has many amenities to offer such as museums, a small college right downtown, a fabulous library, many boutiques, several ethnic restaurants, bistros and a beautiful park where the terminal for my friendly trainsContinue reading “Going down to the village for a stroll…”

Today, on my way out to drop my garbage, sometimes I do it two to three times a day.  Do not like bugs.  Oh yes, on the way to the big garbage container, I almost stepped on this snail.  Can you imagine the energy and time it took this beautiful creature to get right onContinue reading “At the speed of a snail…”

I already had something working on for today’s posting, but my good friend Lucy sent me an email that contained a story of a young man named Kevin Schombert, a senior at his high school in Frederick County, Maryland. He was named Homecoming King.  According to some of his school mates, he has the highestContinue reading ““Today was the best day of my life…””

All of us love the idea of the weekend.  We look forward to it as something that will liberate us to do what we really love and just to chill. It is as if we take a breather from life itself.  We feel excited, relaxed and look forward to doing so many things, even thoughContinue reading “The weekend…Fin de Semana…Fin de semaine…”

Today I had to run an errand “downtown,”  so I prep very well, with my blazer, my scarf and looking real fall weather like.  The high was supposed to be mid-seventies, so I thought, this is my chance to look real cool. Well, as soon as I opened the door, it was like “welcome toContinue reading “I am here…you are still there…”

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with my floating list of things to do.  But this morning, I wrote down all things I would like to accomplish for November, but some of them I must do. While the floating list was existing inside my cranium, I felt somewhat anxious, because on top of the regular stuff, the holidays areContinue reading “The list…the list…where is the list…”

By now you get it…raining all day.  All my ambitious plans went down the drain.  Lunch will be a lame soup made of celery, carrots, some leftover rice and leftover salmon.  Don’t know how that brew is going to taste, but today is spirits’ day.  I like to make my own holiday.  I call itContinue reading “Drip…drip…tick…tock…drip…drip…tick…tock….then…the spoiler…”

Wow!  My lovely daughter called me earlier this afternoon to tell me that it was snowing in the Washington, D.C., and the Northern Virginia area. Here in Central Florida, the temperature dropped early this afternoon little by little, and right now is probably low 70’s.  Yes, I know…I have it really good.  It depends, though…don’tContinue reading “Let it snow…let it rain…let it get cold…”

Each one of us has a favorite space in our home.  For some people, it is their bed, their sun room, their studio, their living room and so on.  Even for some of us, their nice and cozy bathroom. As for me, this is my favorite space.  It is an old chair, probably twenty-five years old and itContinue reading “My favorite space…in my home…”

Recently the stuff around my only fan is hitting it at incredible speed.  I am keeping calm, serene, and positive. When I get up in the morning, I am already ducking and walking on four instead of two, so the stuff constantly hitting the fan, with no break whatsoever, just does not hit me soContinue reading “The stuff…and the fan…”
