Fashion, Family, Food… Life!

Welcome

I love seeing the winter sunrise in the gauzy mist as it creeps a few feet above the half-frozen river all pink and mauve just as much as I love biting into a ripe juicy Long Island peach.

Welcome to my blog, Nine Cent Girl, which is my musings on family, food, and fashion, basically all life brings. This is not a philosophical or an epicurean or haute couture site, but instead a place to affirm all your own notions. I hope my nine cents will encourage you to live life fully!

Heard the maxim ‘you can disagree without being disagreeable‘? RBG is noted for stating something to that effect, as is Obama, and perhaps several other cool-headed thinkers. For whatever reason, the saying has been rolling around in my head all week. If I place it side-by-side with my mother’s advice, ‘if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all,’ there appears to be a gap. How does one learn to debate hard ideas if one remains silent? Or take inconsistent data and view it from multiple angles? How do we disagree and still communicate? It is far larger than remaining quiet, isn’t it? #newblogpost #linkinbio #teacherlife #blogger #writer #thinkaboutit

Today my mother would have been 95. She was the life of our party, the belle of our ball, and the happiest person in our midsts. She loved family, her family, your family, the whole interconnected world of family. For sure she’d be over the moon with her new great grandson and his fabulous parents and would have plenty of stories to regale you with about their good fortune. Tonight, in her honor, just feel that big love we all share 💟 thanks for the photo @vibelizabeth_ 💙📸

These sunflowers exist for the bees and birds and me. United in our appreciation, these blooms are an exalted sight in my backyard, year after year, bringing enormous joy. On the daily there seem to be more flowers, each unique hue and size lead to a smile. Keep coming, I whisper to them, keep coming despite the sinking temperatures, bloom on. #newblogpost #linkinbio #falliscoming #summersend #sunflower #gardening

I planned to write something quite different tonight, but as Britain has lost their beloved Queen Elizabeth II today, my thoughts return to London and wandering amidst her town. A legend, who early on captured her people with these iconic words, “I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else, I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.” Heart and devotion for 70 years! Wow, nothing but gratitude for such a grand lady. Read on to enjoy one of my memorable London visits! #reblog #linkinbio #travel with @t8dono #ripqueenelizabeth
