And just a little late I am :)


Tuesday July 1, 2014_June media_a Tennessee Williams bio which was fascinating and just a little depressing; an entire book about the pivotal year of 1959; The Americans, the photography of Robert Frank; Moonwalking With Einstein, about a journalist's personal journey in the world of memory competition that I loved, and The Hotel on Place Vendome, the true story of Paris's Hotel Ritz during its WWII occupation, my bookclub recommendation which everyone enjoyed!!!

Wednesday July 2, 2014_My bookclub in my courtyard, the ladies, the table, we had such fun :)


Friday July 4, 2014_I couldn't get the fireworks themselves, but I did get the silhouette-like photo of people getting ready for the show.


Sunday July 6, 2014_Lauren and I went to see How to Train Your Dragon II, a terrific movie BTW, and since they no longer had a poster, I instead took a photo of the elevators up to the theaters.


Saturday July 19, 2014_David, Lauren, and I went downtown to dinner and after, decided to wonder aimlessly about, passing by the Adobe Headquarters with its wind turbines whirling!!


Tuesday July 29, 2014_From last month, Jimmy's garden as a reminder because NOW he has the jewel-toned corn all picked and nicely placed in a wicker basket with, for whatever reason, sheet music.


Wednesday July 30, 2014_Lauren and I have been doing a little art class Wednesday evenings, this evening a still life.

His early years, while still at home, were apparently not the best. His father was a big-deal executive at Ford and Williams was neglected a great deal of the time, time which he spent inventing characters to keep himself from being lonely. But, it seems, the main problem for him was a life-long battle with depression. Also, now it's been revealed that he had the early onset of Parkinson's disease which, especially as such a physical comedian, had to have been utterly terrifying to contemplate. Shows you how bad his mind-set was because, otherwise, he had three terrific kids, a young, fairly new third wife and lived in a lovely home in Tiburon up in Marin County just north of San Francisco, his show had been renewed for another season, they were going to do a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire and etc. etc.. Just so sad.

We are having a good summer!!
