london

for the years i have been on a jude law site i have made dozens of friendships with women from all over the world....when it was announced in 2008 that jude would be part of the donmar warehouse season we immediately bought tickets not knowing whether getting to london was even feasible. my husband is infirmed..,.who would take care of him in order for me to make such a trip. enter adam my grandson. "not to worry grandma...it will be a oiece of cake" one of my firends who is an attorney from madrid arranged with jude's public relations to have us visit with him backstage at the wyndham theatre on july 28th 2009. my niece doris a travel agent made all reservations for me and off i went.
law's portrayal of hamlet was nothing short of brilliant. a new and fresh approach. it was very physical like a ballet dancer. this was not a morose prince. this was angry man.......after watching this performance we went backstage....my friends from literally all over the planet and i had jude law all to ourselves..that friends is some kind of treat. the man not only is a vision but charismatic to the point of oh my god.....he's very intelligent, great vocabulary and so interested in what one is saying...he listens and he remembers. well anyone who remembers mr. shakespeares plethora of lines has to remember.....it was an evening that will remain in my bank of memories for a lifetime.....thank you adam for making it possible.

jude law

one of my obsessions is the actor jude law. about 6 years ago i viewed the film alfie and thought...wow that's quite a guy..i had previously seen the talented mr. ripley and had the same reaction....wanting to know more about this talented and beautiful actor i bought a computer, learned how to use it(not easy at 76) and began searching the web for info on my new crush...i had the most capable computer teacher and within a month or so began searching for jude law sites. what happened was in a way life changing....my hubby who is confined to our home cannot participate in outdoor activities so i am home quite a bit. i found on the internet, on a jude law site, a group of women who felt the same as i and we began corresponding every day. most of it revolves around jude's career but we touch on all subjects. the important addition to my life is that it pushed back the walls of my apartment and allowed me to make friends from literally every country in the world. we speak every day and it has given me at age 82 a whole new enthusiasm. friends from madrid, portugal, tokyo, sweden, germany, italy etc., even indonesia....at a further time i will tell you where these friendships and mr. law have taken me.....so instead of narrowing my circle of life the computer has broadened it to the extent that i feel like a kid again....

my visit with my son and grandson.,,

having my son visit with my husband and myself was better than any medicine prescribed by any doctor in this world. he is the sweetest and most considerate man. my son is 57 and i tell you i don't remember ever having a serious problem with him. whatever great joy we've had, comes from this man and his family.
his visit was followed by my grandson who makes me realise why i'm on this earth in the first place. he is an artist and has the soul of an angel...i know these are grandma's bragging rights.....but i can back it up...understand that hubby and i are way up there in age....when our family comes to visit it's like clouds lifting.... everyone should know that feeling.
