It could have been this

 When I was carrying on about the Italian fixer upper, I could have had this. O.k, maybe not "have" in that sense of the word

but we were right there.

To refresh your minds, this is the Italian Fixer upper.

This or.....

This?

This stunning villa is called La Pausa and it belonged to

Mademoiselle Gabrielle Chanel. It was build for her by The Duke Of Westminster.

Staying in Menton, we were up and down this area on a very regular basis.

Roquebrune Cap Martin is to die for.

I could have been getting ready to start my day in a setting like this.

 But no...... I am thinking about this.

The potential of the fixer upper.

La Pausa was on the market and I didn't know. 

Can you even begin to imagine the stories that house could tell? Ooh la la!

Alas, it has been sold and not to me-hehe.

Check out the link if you have a chance. The pics are swoon worthy.

Be still my heart.

On another note, Army son (aka Jeff) has his surgery tomorrow,

What is left of 3 disc's in his neck will be removed. Titanium brackets and screws

will be inserted and the the vertebrae will be fused.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Life is a little crazy for him

right now and I just wish I could make things better. SO......please keep him in your prayers.

Many thanks!

Happy week. Love and hugs
