My movie this weekend was The Aviator, full of Howard's eccentricities and likeability. I chose to watch it, because I have this framed and ready to hang in my new home any minute. (You know how one thought leads to another, which leads to another...so I thought of Howard then unwrapped the DVD I had sitting there for over a year...) It was a gift years ago for my birthday from my brother and his wife...they know I love Katharine and this issue was lo and behold...my birthday issue. (Albeit 30 years before I hit this rock!~)
Indigo Blue has undergone some light cosmetic work...hence her new name..."sweet indigo life." This particular incarnation's phrasing coined by my friend, the good doctor Maithri in one of his most recent comments. His poetic way inspires me yet again. Letters from this man rival anything written by e.e.cummings or hafiz....seriously ;) (super sweet!)
This week is busy busy as we ready for a week away roasting marshmallows over an open fire, lazing on a sandy beach, getting up early to walk a mile before the coffee...and so on. In other words, I'm readying for a wee holiday. Yay! Much needed. Enjoy these last few weeks of summer guys...xoxo
I love the makeover...and you! You are my inspiration. XO

Sweet Indigo life is very appropriate for the multi-faceted, wise and beautiful woman you are, dearest Gill. I think I need to visit your friend Maithri. xoxox

Oh, Maithri is my favorite guy. In blog life, and excepting Jeffrey, real life, too.
The name is perfect. You do live a sweet indigo life.

Katherine Hepburn was my favourite actress from those times. She was smart, witty and independent.
And I like your new blogging layout. It's good to experiment, to shake things up. I keep meaning to do that with my blog. Eventually...
