HELLO………..
I am keeping it LIGHT and ALL ABOUT ME which is pretty much the NORM HERE!
IF you TAP on NORM HERE in the previous sentence it will take you to my HOME PAGE on THE BLOG!
I feel a bunch of YOU have never been there before?
UNDER LA CONTESSA AT THE TOP IS THE PHOTO SHOOT I DID IN PARIS WITH MY SONS.
THAT was a FEW YEARS ago!
RECENTLY A BUNCH OF YOU SENT ME THE PHOTO OF
DEBO, THE DUCHESS of DEVONSHIRE.
FROM ENGLISH ECCENTRIC HOME on INSTAGRAM
WE COPIED THE DUCHESS!
( I have had this photo on my REFRIGERATOR for years!)
NOW THAT IS A FEED YOU NEED TO FOLLOW!
MORE RECENTLY IS A WOMAN PUTTING A SWAN INTO THE CAR!
WHO DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF?
( HERE I AM SWANNING ABOUT A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER MY CLEMATIS!)
THE HOME PAGE is a way you can check on BLOG POSTS you may have missed as that MAILCHIMP has been eating too many BANANAS and FORGETS to SEND OUT MY EMAILS!
MAILCHIMP is the service that delivers these EMAILS…….kinda like the POSTMAN!
Do you think we will still be around when the POSTMAN disappears and all will be done by LA COMPUTER?
SO many JOBS have disappeared due to all these gadgets!
THANK YOU Steve Jobs!
I know YOU meant well………but its gone a bit too far in MY OPINION.
SPEAKING OF TOO FAR WHAT IS RUSSIA THINKING?!!
MY KITCHEN BELOW.
WHERE I SPEND ALL MY TIME IF I AM NOT READING OR WRITING A BLOG POST OR READING THE NEWS!
PAINTING BY CYNTHIA PERRYMAN ART
THE LINK IS BELOW……..
MY LIBRARY or STUDIO as MY ITALIAN calls it has all MY STUFF piled everywhere!
I KEEP MEANING TO CLEAN IT but that thought keeps IGNORING ME!
THIS PAINTING SOLD THE VERY FIRST DAY
CYNTHIA SHARED IT ON HER INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT!
TO THINK A BIT OF ME WILL NOW RESIDE IN FLORIDA!
I SIT IN FRONT OF THIS PORTRAIT with my COMPUTER below her which came from
MY HUSBANDS FAMILY IN ITALY!
I spend time here WRITING YOU A BLOG POST about three times a month!
Is that TOO often to hear from me?
SHE FORGOT ME in the PAINTING BELOW!
HA!
I was not in the PHOTO I sent her!.
I had a DM (direct message) from CYNTHIA PERRYMAN ART
SHE DID THE ENTRANCE TO MY KITCHEN
(Well, I had a portrait done of me when I was a GIRL and I can remember MY MOTHER HATED IT.)
She was so MAD as I am sure it cost the earth back in the early 1970’s.!
If I can find it I will show YOU!
HERE it is hanging in MY STUDIO!
Behind a bunch of cards I have in an old postcard stand!
I THINK I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.
AND that is WHY my MOTHER was MAD as it made me look MUCH OLDER!
I LOVE ALL THESE PAINTINGS!
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR HOME IN THE EARLY DAYS.
OR LATER DAYS FOR THAT MATTER AND YES I AM TALKING ABOUT OUR AGES!
I KNOW I HAVE A READER WHO IS 83 YEARS OLD!
I WONDER HOW YOUNG MY YOUNGEST READER IS?
IF YOU ARE YOUNG TELL US YOUR AGE IN THE COMMENTS!
IAM CURIOUS TO KNOW!
SPEAKING OF WHAT I KNOW.
I KNOW WHEN YOU SUBSCRIBE OR WHEN YOU
UNSUBSCRIBE from MY BLOG!
I have found when I TALK ABOUT MY HEALTH I get the most who UNSUBSCRIBE!
I KNOW ITS HARD TO KEEP THIS CHIRPY and FULL of FUN ALL THE TIME!
I DO UNDERSTAND IF YOU DONOT WANT TO READ A BLOG THAT IS UNHAPPY!
For those of YOU who CARE I am making BABY STEPS to RECOVERY!
I started on ANTI-SEIZURE medication on SEPTEMBER 27th 2022 another was added about ten weeks ago as I had a HORRIBLE EPISODE in the POST OFFICE December sixth.I wish someone had been close by to HELP ME to my CAR!
I sat there for awhile until I felt I could get Home which is a straight shot about a mile and a half away.
Not a soul around………which may have been better.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE QUESTION OF HOW MANY BLOGS DO YOU FOLLOW?
I DO NOT FOLLOW THAT MANY AS IT DOES TAKE UP A LOT OF TIME!
WHEN I DO FOLLOW I AM A LOYAL FOLLOWER AND COMMENT IN CAPS MOST OF THE TIME!
MOST OF THEM ARE FULL OF GOOD INFORMATION
BUT A FEW HAVE SO MANY ADS RUNNING THROUGH THEM THAT IT GET’s ANNOYING!
ESPECIALLY, IF ITS FOR IBS or OTHER DELICIOUS TOPICS!
SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THESE BLOGGERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE ADVERTISING!
BUT THEN AGAIN THAT IS ABOUT HEALTH AND WE ALL NEED TO SHARE WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT WORK FOR US!
I FEEL this is what these BLOGS are for…SHARING and TRYING and LEARNING new things!
I have chosen NOT TO ADVERTISE as the Esthetics are NOT BEAUTIFUL nor do I need to do TAXES at the end of the year if not every THREE MONTHS!
BEEN THERE DONE THAT WITH THE ANTIQUE SHOP!
IT has become VERY POPULAR to ADVERTISE in THE BLOG WORLD.
I guess I am OLD~FASHIONED as I still like to look at Catalogs and Magazines.
If we get our NEWS and READING ENJOYMENT and SHOPPING from the computer there is not much reason to LEAVE the HOUSE!
FOOD IS DELIVERED however you want it!
Cooked or in grocery form,
HERE IS A GOOD STORY I WILL SHARE!
I have an 87 year old STEP MOTHER who recently fell and was on the floor for TWO DAYS and TWO NIGHTS because she would NOT wear the necklace around her neck!
Which calls for HELP!
The neighbor found her as her newspapers were not picked up!
Good thing he knew where the spare key was kept!
HE DIDNOT CALL US!
What is wrong with people?
She is better now and has lots of people checking in with her daily.
However recently she wanted LINGUINE with Clam Sauce!
She tried to order from 5 different restaurants no one would deliver!
Why?
Because she did not have THE DOOR DASH APP!
SO, she got all DRESSED UP as we did back in THE DAY to go eat out!
Her BATTERY was dead in the CAR!
WE have solved THE PROBLEM if she has a craving she is to call MY SON
who will then call DOOR DASH and have the food DELIVERED!
AND you can BET there will be an I’M SO SORRY to bother you………before she even begins!
THE BIRDIE SHOES HAVE FOUND A HOME FROM MY LAST POST!
I AM TEACHING ITALIAN WORDS ON MY INSTAGRAM FEED.
As I AM tired of PUSHING MY CLOTHES I WEAR that NO other human would DARE to be seen in!
I may get in OVER MY HEAD but this will HELP MY ITALIAN as well…….
THE ITALIAN is VERY LITTLE HELP, but his SISTER IS FANTASTIC even with the TIME CHANGE IN ITALY!
We have done Morning Foods NOW we are on to BODY PARTS!
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT WEEK?
TABLEWARE
ROMANTIC WORDS
BAD WORDS SO WE CAN FLIP OFF POOTIN?
ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!
HERE is MY ELBOW which is called GOMITO in ITALIAN!
GO~ME~TOE
YOU WILL GET BODY PARTS THIS WEEK………
(My INSTAGRAM FEED is CONTESSA AND HER PIG)
YOU can Tap on Contessa and her pig WITHOUT being signed up for it to see THE ITALIN words of the DAY!
We went to CARMEL last SATURDAY………
I had two friends to meet up with and a GIFT CERTIFICATE to SPEND!
ONE friend I forgot to take a photo with, but just know she use to SHOP THE HEN HOUSE
and NOW OWNS HER OWN ANTIQUE SHOP IN CARMEL!
CALLED THE BLUE DOOR.
A LOT of her things come from FRANCE!
This is ELIZABETH BARLOW who is a painter.
SEE that DAHLIA behind HER?
YEP, SHE WAS WORKING ON THAT WHEN WE CAME CRASHING IN WITH BETTY!
I met her VIA INSTAGRAM!
I could NOT get over the cup & saucer which she so kindly told me was SPODE.
I did not have to bend down on my knees and look at it from underneath as it had liquid in it!
IF you MUST have ONE HERE YOU GO!
How does $23.00 SOUND?
I LOVE SHARING WITH YOU ALL……….and what I LOVE EVEN MORE is the CONNECTIONS we can make HERE!
Elizabeth B. use to work for the San Francisco OPERA COMPANY and knew my old boss who was responsible for bringing THE ITALIAN over from ITALY!How SMALL is this world we live in?Very small and how we figured that out I have no recollection but we did it all on INSTAGRAM!
HAPPY First Day of MARCH to all MY READERS………….XXX
