Irene wanted me to write a blog, but I thought I'd try this for a year instead.
Years later, in 2011, I realize that the above no longer makes sense, since I have stopped photographing breakfast and instead occasionally put down random thoughts. These days I photograph our granddaughter's lovely face, paint for fun, knit and teach knitting at an after-school program for girls, and read. Life is good, if a bit slow, but then, so am I.
The book is "I am Madame X," by Gioia Diliberto, a fictional account of the woman who posed for John Singer Sargent's "Madame X." The painting is at the Met in New York, not much is known about the model, Mme. Virginie Gautreau. It was a good book.

I see the yolks are in the eggs and your coffee looks delicious. What is that book you are about to read? Nice place mat.
