Musings: June 2014

Sunday, June 15, 2014. 8221; asked our B&B host to determine if he could clear our breakfast dishes or not. I liked his pleasure-oriented way of saying, “Can I take your plate? 8221; This memory springs to mind, as I am still savoring France’s tastes and sights. See previous post, Tasty Terroir. Treats, for food gourmandises. Delicacies). For a visual feast, you can’t beat France’s marchés. Markets)—and Monet’s Garden and the Petit Palais, but they deserve blog posts of their own.

Musings: April 2014
http://aquajane-musings.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2014. Review: First French Essais: Venturing into Writing, Marriage, and France. I have subscribed to and enjoyed Kristin’s blog for several years. As an American, I like discovering differences in French culture (like doggy bags and parking meters) along with Kristin. I like learning handy French words and expressions (like la bagnole. For car) that often don’t show up in textbooks or even dictionaries. I believe First French Essais. Means the mother-in-law at least. Is an enjoyable ...

Musings: March 2015
http://aquajane-musings.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 13, 2015. Reviews of two Iris Murdoch books. My bow to Saint Patrick's Day this year was to read Iris Murdoch, whom I'd never read. I still may don green. On March 17 and savor a Shamrock Shake. But I'm also glad to be more familiar with this Irish author. Although hardbound with woodcut illustrations, Something Special. I enjoyed the way Murdoch revealed so much with dialogue. And I think most readers could identify with Yvonne’s dilemma. Iris Murdoch’s suspenseful novel, The Bell. Shows s...

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Book review, The Noticer. If you’re looking for a small dose of timeless wisdom loosely fashioned into a story, you might enjoy The Noticer. In some cases, the rejuvenating perspective comes from illuminating the universality of obstacles. In other cases, Jones shares the benefits of compassion and a long view of integrity. Sometimes he asks, What if you did this instead of that? To enjoy The Noticer. Thursday, February 19, 2015. Recently, our bible study facilitator finished...

Musings: May 2014

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. This morning I was in Paris . But what I most. Want to remember in my I was in Paris this morning. Dream is my French friend who spent frustrating hours of her vacation trying in vain to schedule a taxi for me; the many helpful security and hospitality personnel at train stations and the airport; and the friendly Americans on the plane who told their Paris horror stories with humor and c’est la vie. Yesterday I was in Paris. Labels: Charles De Gaulle Airport. Wednesday, May 21, 2014.

Charlie's Dog Blog: May 2010
http://dogblog1.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. I have a comfy cozy. Now At least that's what my mom calls it. It's different from my bed. Which is near where Dad watches TV, and my puppy pad. Which is near Mom's feet when she's typing. I used to have my own chair in the kitchen, but I can't jump up in it any more because my back legs stopped being springy. So my comfy cozy is on the floor where I can just step into it. It's in the room where Mom and Dad eat their food and right next to the kitchen, where I eat my food.

Charlie's Dog Blog: One Year Later
http://dogblog1.blogspot.com/2012/08/one-year-later.html
Friday, August 17, 2012. Today marks the first anniversary of Charlie’s death, which leaves a hole in my heart that no one and no other pet could fill. His sweet disposition, sensitive spirit, and happy personality are tender memories. I smile to remember his whole-body-wagging excitement over favorite foods and treats and promised walks or rides in the car or guests at the front door. Here’s my all-time favorite photo of him. That was the thing about Charlie. He just wanted to be near us. And we...
