A vintage plastic toy cow the size of a cat. I know, a little weird ... but at that point in time I was taking this cow (who, along the way acquired the name, Bessie) everywhere. Why? So I could photograph her travels (I was thinking of writing a book). Bessie got a lot of attention in Paris, I constantly heard, "La vache!" And everyone wanted to take a picture of the cow. It was fun - I got to talk to a lot of people because of that cow.Cottage Way of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644759703009830174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1518902624638812582010-02-05T15:13:48.748-05:002010-02-05T15:13:48.748-05:00I adore your site.

We finally found a small decorator pillow that was enough support for sleeping but could tuckin a suitcase.<br /><br />My health quirk is taking the juice of half a lemon in warm water<br />every morning, first thing. I carry a tiny pen-knife to cut the lemon in a Swiss Army Knife product the size of a credit card. (Don't know<br />if this will pass muster nowadays.)
