It’s All Maya!

C.C. and Izzy blowing out the candles!

Okay, so here’s the scenario when we got to Phoenix!  Ten of us in a rented mini bus arrived for Isabella’s 3rd birthday (my brother’s grand-daughter).  His youngest daughter C.C. was celebrating her 18th birthday as well,….. so we were ready to party and party we did!
A few days […]

Maya Muses:  A friend put this photo on her Facebook page and I just had to share it.  Talk about precision, I don’t think those seagulls could have positioned themselves better, and talk about being in the right place at the right time to snap this picture!  Laurent Fontaine from Bordeaux just happened to take […]

New Year’s Eve in Times Square is a once in a lifetime experience and now I know why!  Anyone would be crazy to do it more than once!
Getting to Times Square at 3:00 in the afternoon was already far too late.  Times Square was filling up faster than a Black Friday Christmas sale!  Katarina, Patrick, […]

Maya Muses:  A Peaceful and a very Merry Christmas to everyone!  Sending warm wishes to Sean and David Goldman and their family for finally being reunited and back in the States after a five year battle!  I’ll write more about that later, but it was great news for everyone following this saga for a number […]

Finally!  After the entire month of November spent packing up our belongings, Patrick and I made it to my mother’s house!  We thought it would never end!
I knew I was overdoing it when I averaged 4 to 5 hours of sleep each day! Yes, day!  We were working around the clock.  I would go to […]

The one thing that I will miss here are the long walks on our private beach, where our dolphins appeared to us everytime I let out a high tone whistle.  Patrick use to look at me like I was crazy when I would pucker up and whistle as high a note as I could muster, but […]

It feels like Autumn already this year and that’s so unusual for here!  Patrick and I have spent the last few days walking on our “private beach”.  We marvel at the beauty and the spectacular sunsets where the light changes from moment to moment. 

Where ducks and geese head south for the winter and make a […]

 Maya Muses:  As I wrote last year, my “87 year-old young” mother is still full of life!  When she’s not traveling around the globe, you can find her working in her garden.  That’s where she thrives, down on her hands and knees with her fingers in the dirt!  She must be doing something right because everything […]

It may seem a little strange that I would come back from a short break of relaxing with friends and then begin talking about death and dying, but when you come face to face with death sometimes you just have to talk about it.  These past few days have been somewhat emotional and yet, paradoxically, […]
