Ode to Joni

Dear Joni Mitchell, I heard you sing ‘Both Sides Now’ at the Grammys last night. Your poetry and style are timeless and poignant. The emotion on the faces in the audience proved your message still resonates across the generations, and will forever. Bravo โฃ๏ธ

Then and Now

Apparently, my idea of getting dressed up has morphed since year 2007! Now, it’s all about my mom’s ancestral dress tartan: Stuart of Bute – Queen Mary’s residence. She used ‘u’ instead of ‘ew’ in her name, because her husband was French and the letter ‘w’ didn’t exist in French back in the day.
