It’s All Maya!

I mentioned in an earlier post that it was never my dream to go to Paris, it’s true.  I was 19 years old at the start of the 1970’s and studying at a university when I decided to take a semester break.  My older sister was living in Germany at the time and I decided to go […]

A couple of months ago I left a comment on Richard’s blog at Eye Prefer Paris  and since then he sends me posts updates.  Well one post intrigued me when he spoke about a friend of his by the name of Polly who happens to be living the “an American in Paris” dream.  Unfortunately for her, […]

Yes, Wednesday was Katia’s birthday, and now it’s Patrick’s!  No, I’m not going to say how old Patrick is, unless he says it’s okay!  I will say he’s a few years younger than I am, but not that many!  So I’m off to buy flowers,  a card, and candles!  I also have to wrap his gifts, bake him a cake, chill the […]

Maya Muses:  Twelve years ago I watched the miracle of birth and saw my little niece and God-child, Katia, come into this world.  It was an amazingly beautiful moment!  Twelve years have gone by so quickly!  Happy Birthday Poupée!  Je t’aime!

I recently left a comment on Richard Nahem’s blog called Eye Prefer Paris; it’s one of a number of blogs that I like to visit when I have the time.  What inspired me to leave a comment was a photograph of his Door of the Month, at 46 rue de Vaugirard, a door that I […]

Maya Muses:  My Mom is 86 years young; still full of life and laughter!  Last year she traveled halfway around the world, from Paris to Hawaii to Mexico and everywhere in between.  This year she hasn’t gone so far, but she’s still traveling!  A […]

Last night I painted Katia’s nails turquoise, a color that I wore for more than 30 years!  Yes, I guess you could say I was way ahead of my time!  However, when I turned 50,  and everyone else began to wear blue, green, and purple nail polish, I stopped wearing it.  “Why be like everyone else?” I […]
