Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

ShareWhole olives or olive oil?  As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome.  I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish?  Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]

ShareIn addition to the Spanish language courses that I’ve been taking,  I´ve also been studying math and philosophy in Seville. Please review my research and results below: Sevillian Math: One Way Walk to School = 1 T.V (Tinto Verano) Return Trip from School = 1 Leche Manchada (Some Powerful Coffee with Lots of Milk) Taking […]

ShareI could give up Twitter, but I’m not a quitter. 😛 Many of my friends and family would say Twitter is a vice.  Well, so is chocolate, and driving fast and some of life’s other indulgences. All good things can be addictive! This 140 character forum was new to me when I signed on last […]

ShareI’m having a love affair…with my handbag.  It stands by me and provides for so many of my needs throughout the day 😉 (It certainly does look well-loved in this picture!) But more than utility, it nourishes a need for artistic style. Don’t laugh! Isn’t all fashion a form of expression?  Whatever you choose to […]

Ode to Pumpkin

ShareYou were just a big love sponge, weren’t you? You soaked up more affection and loving than most cats do in 20 years.  Thing is, you gave it all back, and more.  Now you’re off to the big salmon platter in the sky…I want to be happy for you, but these damn tears… Thank you […]

ShareSo, you know I like to at least TRY the traditional local fare when visiting places far and wide…hence the fried whole fishies and hot snail juice in Sevilla.  Which means I had to sample the famed (or infamous) Marmite of New Zealand, known as Vegimite in Australia, or the West Island. I made some […]

ShareIt was a fine day for a jaunt to the coast from our new mountain retreat…beautiful blue sky flaunting itself overhead, while encircling the horizon of Encinitas were billowing puffy clouds; California showing off, as usual.  But as we crested the hill we noticed several cone shapes in the cloudbank over the ocean, pointing down!… […]
