Living on a barge in France

I would love to get my hands on this barge in France.

I would do topiary's on either side of the door

right away. 

The constantly changing view alone would be fun

and chat worthy.

Imagine this deck with the right outdoor furniture

and potted flowering plants

I would use 2 great hanging plants on this over-hang.

You could get so creative with the table and chairs.

The beauty of living on a river, on a barge is that there is very

little wake to deal with.

I can dream can't I ???

I really want this!!!

Can you envision this barge made over in your taste and style?

SHOE REPAIR - It Is Emotionally Ugly Stuff

Maybe it’s the last pair of shoes you have with BOTH heals attached{wouldn't That be great}

or Maybe it’s you don’t have the time or money to repair them.

This seems small and insignificant ….I am sure to some.

But it is not.

My elegant grandmother would never have worn any shoe like that out of the house .

She by no means had money.

But she was elegant….the likes of which I have yet to see in my lifetime.

*Including NYC.

One lost black tap on the back heel of a high heel….

There would be the metal clicking on the floor with every step you take.

It has happened to me with 3 pair of shoes recently.

I am at my wits end.

I refuse to wear them.

THAT SOUND!!!!!

When will I ever get them fixed?

Where is the time.

Or will my walk be a walk of subtle shame?

Could I bare it??? I don’t think so –

EVER BEEN THERE?

Dogs That Love The Wind In Their Face - It Feels Like FREEDOM

I had a rough morning…..

I will spare you the details.

But

On my drive to the studio I saw a dog in the back seat of a car

With his head sticking out of the window,

and the wind blowing against his face.

I started my entire day over right then.

What a big smile I had.

And inside I felt all happy for him {or her} and ME.

I was grateful to witness such joy and grab some of it for myself.

It made my day!!!!

I hope it made yours too.

La Grenouille - NYC

This is a place where 'BIG DEALS' are made. Romance is confirmed. And our senses are teased.
If you haven't made it yet to La Grenouille - You Must!!
It would make a good 'Bucket List' entry!!

Charles Masson in the private room upstairs.

His parents founded the restaurant in 1962.

Do you think they are doing something right???

Have you been?

Do you have a story to share with me.

I would LOVE to hear it!!!
