A CHRISTMAS CAROL part 2


A Dose of Christmas to come. 
Fearing no solution for my inevitable eviction, I married an investment banker and we moved to Greenwich  Connecticut. It was Christmas Eve. The house was full with friends and neighbors dressed up for a movie set.
They were all so rich. It was terrible.

My husband kept saying, "And she's such a good cook."
 I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't see Nina. It was snowing outside. I didn't know where I was. 

The phone rang.
It was Iris. "How do you make your cranberry sauce?" She asked, not realizing she had brought me back to Paris.


Merry Christmas to every one - Connecticut, California, Nantucket, _____ it, Uptown, Downtown, Green, Red, laid-off, paid-off, Madoff, and the English lady upstairs who doesn't speak to me anymore. merry merry, Christmas.
With love, 
Mary

  2. Merry Christmas Mary! We met this past September at Le Cafe de Theatre while eating couscous. I was with my French mom, Nicole. We intended to come by your atelier the next night, but got stuck across town doing some last minute things before I left the next morning. So good to meet you, I have been reading your blog since my return and adore your paintings! Bonne Annee and all the best,
    Kirsten
