Happy Mother's Day USA

-


My Mother is the best. She routinely lets me celebrate Mother's Day later in the month (May 31 or should I say 31 mai?) via Fête des Mères (French Mother's Day!!)

Since she is still waiting for my very thoughtful gifts to arrive in the mail in time for Fête des Mères, I thought I would post some pictures of Mothers...

I took this picture of Mother and Grandma
 in our front yard in Marietta, GA in June 1987 when 
Grandma was visiting for my high school gradulation.


I took this picture of Mémère in a cafe in La Samaritaine
when I was vacationing in Paris with Jessica in July 1981.

This year Pentecost is 31-May, so Mother's Day is 7-June. You can procrastinate one more week!

In one letter Avis tells Julia that all her friends have electric dishwashers and how horrid she thinks the whole concept is. She refuses to ever get one. I still have a long way to go with the book but based on what I've already read, I just know I will continue to love it. I took a break and watched Julie and Julia , a movie which I taped a long time ago and never got around to watching. Do NOT watch this movie if you are also reading "As Always, Julia." From the very beginning, there are huge inconsistencies with the portion of the movie that deals with J...

Purple Streets

I don't know what kind of trees these are but they are beautiful and in full bloom in Long Beach. This street is parallel to Bellflower, right across from the library and all the shopping centers. As I drove further down the street, the purple trees were on both sides of the street to where they were actually over me as I was driving. Very pretty.
