Weekend Wipeout

Well, this is Lunapic’s Feather but looks more to me like Wondrous Wipe Out….it gets pretty busy during the week around here and a girl needs her beauty sleep, non? Love all these cloud colors… Hugs to all. ******** MY MAMA’S MAMA’S EASY FAUX SPINACH SOUFFLÉ (FAKE SOUFFLÉ)          My mother loved to tell the story of a friend who, testing her first soufflé for doneness, plunged a broom straw into it to see if...

Friday Fundamentals

Just thought I’d give you a glimpse of where I hang out often….Not the chateau, that cloudy stuff above it! So cool up here… Mama talking: 1. I enjoy talking to __everyone especially kitties, doggies and donkeys. And elderly people, so wise. 2. Took hot soup to a friend who is housebound with a cold__ is something kind I did recently. (And I, Loulou, helped mama cook salmon, heh heh….) 3. I wish I could...

  Well, mama and papa are saying merci to Claude Malhuret, the French senator who stood up to Trump and criticized what the president of the USA is doing to our country. And above all, we are thankful for all of you who may sometimes go through anguish about reading these thoughts, not knowing whether they will make you smile or wish you had a Xanax, haha. Thank you, dear readers. Thank you for your …

WORD-less And More

Just having a Wednesday snooze on my golden cloud. You can see a tiny bit of cloud down in the left corner… Mama stole this from Beachwalks, a brilliant blog that soothes the soul and challenges the mind. Love this in the morning to start the day with the sound of waves…. 😻😻😻😻😻 Yes, wordless Wednesday, but when Trump messes with THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, we will not remain silent. And kudos to Claude...

Monday Murmurs

  A long-ago photo of mama’s stepdaughter with Luna, a long ago kitty…. Well, the best spark we have come up with over many years of pondering this puzzle is this: When in doubt (worry, distress, uncertainty, bafflement, stress, sadness, and so on…), HUG! Hug your mate, your friend, your kitty, your doggy, your donkey, your monkey, your duck, your goose, your piggy, your cow, your neighbor, your lemon tree, anything hugable, but make the...

Definitely NOT Sun Day

I am not a big fan of WET! I just kick back on my little red cloud and snooze away the weather below…today it is POURING. WET WET WET…. And then the sun pours forth and then the wind comes up and blows everything hither and yon and then it pours rain and then….let’s just say the weather is WEIRD. Isn’t there something to talk about besides weather, haha? But lovely wet mimosa was everywhere...

Boxed In?

Well, I’m resting on the warm stones after having…uh…watered the garden.. Who needs a box anyway? And todayl, mama wants to offer a  very thoughtful and surprising take on what is happening on this crazy planet. A short interview with a very respected historian who is able to see a different view of our world situation from ours. Surprising! Mama, papa and I would love opinions on this, as we found the interview almost…well… comforting,...

Okay, okay, I’ll get to my…uh…watering after I roll around a little on this warm stepping stone… This is my fill-in: 1. My March to-do list incudes __pee…uh…watering mama’s just-starting-to-leaf-out roses and ___mama’s list is too long to fit here, haha.  I think one of her to-do thingies is to repeat often the mantra “Just here, just now, just this.” Keeps her sane, (And those around her, haha) Mama speaking: 2. I used...

THANKS

Thanks that the address to Congress is OVER. Thanks to the Democratic rebuttal of Elissa Slotkin, Senator from Michigan, and Bernie Sanders to Trump’s address to Congress, which mentioned NO solutions to the many areas that Americans are distressed about: rising prices of groceries, inflated housing and car prices, need for affordable medical care for ALL,  solutions for the homeless, improvements in education for our children, what America is doing about climate change and...
