Weekend Meanderings
Good Saturday morning friends. It’s time for Weekend Meanderings with Kim and Juliet. Join us as we share all of the things that piqued our interests and caught our eye this week.
I am meeting my sister this morning for a Women’s Health Conference, they will be discussing aging, caregiving and all sorts of other health topics. It should be interesting and I will report back if I learn something new.
Then if the weather is nice and sunny we are going paddle boarding.
Aside from that I have an MRI on Tuesday, I am a little nervous. As I have mentioned before my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36. I have been getting mammograms since I was 18. My new doctor wants me to have an MRI and this will be my first one.
I have not found a lump or anything alarming, this is a precautionary MRI. I wanted to share as a reminder to check yourself and to get a yearly mammogram.
Ok, let’s meander friends.

My favorite piece Andrey has animated is Jan Davidsz de Heem, “Vase of Flowers,” 1660, for the National Gallery of Art. It is amazing. You can watch all of the videos of the animated art for NGA, which include de Heem, Renoir and Monet. Let me know your favorite.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life
JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE follows Agathe (Rutherford) a hopelessly clumsy yet charming young woman who works in the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop in Paris. While she dreams of being a successful writer, and of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel, she finds herself desperately single and plagued by writer’s block. When Agathe’s best friend (Pauly) gets her invited to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England, she finally has her Jane Austen moment…and is caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle. Agathe must let go of her insecurities to decide what she really wants for herself, and to achieve her romantic and professional dreams.
