Nostalgic, Romantic Me

 

Remember the century days when gazing into your
 sweetheart's eyes was so much more exciting than 
staring at your smartphone for the millionth time?


 Can you recall a time when chats took place in person, 
  when faces showed feelings and bodies talked,
before the smiley, emticon revolution?


Don't you miss the thrill of getting ready for that first real date,  
floating high in the sky, giddy with butterflies,
 in the arms of your true soul mate


 Mind you, meeting on Skype and FaceTime 
come pretty close, but real hugs in real-time,
 they have yet to host!
 
 

Unlike a star studded night, jasmine thick in the air,
 hands sweaty, head dizzy, knees weak - (who will dare 
to make that first move?) - and prove, with a kiss, 
that now, they've only got eyes for each other, and
  with hearts aflutter, all doubts they dismiss.


 And because I believe that music is the most 
expressive language of all, I hope you enjoy the fun
 and flirty duet below, and indulge my current mood
 for those sweet and innocent times long ago!

Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love!

(click arrow to play, takes about 10 seconds to start)
''Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love''

 Vocals: Nicholas Tsachakis
Vocals: Poppy
Piano: Anna Lisowski

 To kick off the festivities for Valentine's Day,
hope you enjoy my trio's fun rendition of Cole Porter's
 'Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love', above, recorded at 
the Romantica Bar, Creta Maris Hotel, Summer, 2006.
 
Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman: my ideal couple, a match made in heaven.







"Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?"
-Paul Newman, on why he was never tempted to cheat 
on his wife, Joanne Woodward.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: passionate, scandalous, and magnetic!

''I love her, not for her breasts, her buttocks or her knees 
but for her mind. It is inscrutable. She is like a poem.''
-Richard Burton on Elizabeth Taylor

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz: each other's funny valentine, what chemistry!


"Lucy and I would love furiously and fight furiously.'' 
-Desi Arnaz

Gena Rowlands and John Cassavettes: stormy, sexy, soul mates, both on screen and off!

''Before I met Gena, I was a bachelor going out and torturing people. I think that’s good for young people. When I saw her, that was it! The first time I saw her, I was with an actor, John Ericson, and I said, ‘That’s the girl I’m going to marry!"
-John Cassavettes

A Winnie the Pooh 'Windsday'

 from my bedroom balcony

 The last time we spoke,
the sun was out, the day was bright
and Poppy View was adorned with light.


 But tonight as I type,
a howling wind is on the prowl.
Fierce and voracious, it roars and growls,
eager to pluck and snatch and sweep
 its light and innocent prey off their tiny feet!
And NOT for love! 


I hope all the little creatures find
a sturdy place to which the wind is blind,

from my terrace
 
to spend the night, safe and sound,
until that ferocious squall's no longer around!

from my terrace
 Now, I ask you,
 where's that wandering Winnie when you really need him?

Christmas Through the Ages



Click to listen
Christmas Greetings, everyone!
Another year is almost over.
Are you finding that the older you get, 
the faster time flies?!
 Is age creepin' in on us, or am I extra antsy
because I will be half a century old in 2014?!
Where has the time gone?

 

Before you know it, 2013 will be history.
My trio recorded ''Creepin' In'', (mp3 player above, top left),
 a few years ago, and it was especially chosen for
 today's post, which is devoted to Vee's Note Card Party.
Have a listen while you browse, and please
 stop by Vee's for some lovely inspiration!


Donning her baptismal dress, baby Liberty's
 fun and festive Canadian Christmases begin!


 Libby, the tree trimming toddler, tween and teen.

From top left and clockwise: My sister, Cindy, my mother, Rita, my aunt Jane, and me.

Two generations of sisters. One never ending love story!


Thanks for visiting!
