At R&A’s party last night – again, so odd being in a house that is finished, with art on the walls and candles lit, sigh, one day – A’s an artist and a framer. He had a few John Scott pieces that were fabulous but more important was his own work. He’s been working on a theme for a while now where he takes the Pawn because while most think it is dispensable, the truth…
Arriving in Atlanta at midnight on Tuesday, my niece Michelle’s chihuahua (Chico) attacked Arlene. Segue to my other brother’s house a couple of nights later and lo and behold there are two Chihuahuas (Lady and Josie) and both attacked Arlene. So I had to bring the Bean to my friend Alice Ann’s house to be safe. Last night at the Maple Leaf’s First Anniversary of Mardi Gras in August, I was attacked by a Chihuahua.…
just make sure you don’t have to hear me sing. I’m off on my road trip and last of my summer vacation. The alternator is going in the truck as I write. Woo hoo. Meanwhile, I was telling a new friend why I started this blog – I wrote fiction for fifteen years, which puzzled most of my friends. They couldn’t understand why I wasn’t writing nonfiction since I come from a family that epitomizes…
There’s all the news to write about – the flood gates that are shaking so bad they are not working as reported today – the young man in the Sunday obit raised in Chalmette who took his life at 34 years of age leaving behind a daughter he loved – a friend’s husband fired after 17 years – yes, there is this kind of news to write about or not……. Late this afternoon it was…
My roadtrip is being delayed by a faulty alternator. S is on her way back to SF and I’m left to recover from a fun packed weekend – maybe the alternator saved me. Saturday morning we did the Misery Tour – went over the Claiborne bridge, to the left the barge is now removed and the walls rebuilt. Turned in and drove the blank streets then right on Caffin all the way down to Fats…
Here’s a P-K success story – C, a darling cutie pie who owns Filly, was sitting in her store when L walked in. He moved here from the Midwest P-K – gotta love anyone who is moving in PK – anyway first comes love, let’s skip marriage, now C&L are getting a baby carriage – I ran into her last night outside Cafe Brazil 4 months pregnant! They are adorable. Last night, I picked up…
I went to Martin’s uptown to get G some eau de vie – that’s her favorite after dinner drink – well everytime she asks for it, no one knows what she is talking about so I did some research and turns out eau de vie is simply a clear distilled liquor and here we know it by Pear Williams, Cassis or Kirsch. But the equivalent is Grappa in Italy. Anyway, I asked Martin’s when they…
Yesterday early evening the Snake called and said do you want to see Spike Lee’s documentary and I said yes and within five minutes was in the car with K and D and him on our way to the Arena to watch the premiere of “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Parts” – a four hour documentary that Spike did immediately following the hurricane. I highly recommend and urge you to watch it…
Exodus: H&T came over last night with G&B after we had been at Sip for Tuesday’s Sip & Spin – it was Summer of Love theme – turns out on the third floor, R down the hall with the adorable dog, Huey, has bought a house and is moving out by end of September. Directly across from me H&J are moving to their new house end of September. And now, H&T are more determined than…
Last night I dreamed I was having lunch with an old friend and her mother and new daughter and she told me that she “cries every day” and I said “so do I” and then she lost it and said angrily “if he winds up with you I will never speak to you again” and I calmly looked her in the eye and said “you never have to worry about that happening.” Today sitting at…
