The Latvian and the Lentil

Febraury 3 2015.

Passing thoughts

I finished reading "The Prince of Frogtown" and realized that in my own blog I need to come back full circle as I have not explained the meaning of:  how the Latvian and the Lentil became Lady Peach.

The Latvian and the Lentil was to be a book about all of the hilarious incidents from my past.  Being Latvian would of course mean that I was way more sensitive than the Princess and the Pea, and, as a Latvian I would not only be able to detect a lentil but I could also complain a lot more about something quite insignificant as well.  When I faced my 60th birthday and that book still had not been started, I became distracted by the ominous decade that was approaching and I began searching for a new name to put on my tombstone, something that caused a great deal of stress to my daughter Natalie who takes all of my lunacy seriously.  She is the one who came up with the idea of buying a title and so we began the search on several websites.  The only title I liked was Lady Peach Priori - and I didn't really like the Priori past and it was available at the time for 15,000 English Pounds, but Karina soon clarified that it was a total waste of money I abandoned the idea, and instead we went to New York instead and had an entertaining and illuminating week.

 Then of course November 12, 2013 happened and when I was asked for my name a while later in Alabama, out of fear and being the Latvian and the lentil after all, sensing the danger were I to say my name, I had no recourse other than to respond with "Lady Peach".
In June 2014 I looked into that title thing again and learned that the title I liked the  year earlier was on sale - 50% off.  It took very little to discard the temptation of sending good money away - and so,  just like so many other celebrities who just invent themselves, I became Lady Peach, I was eight months into our tial by fire and as a Peach, I was round by then, God knows I was ripe and I bruised easily!!  Natalie corrected my motto:  Lady Peach, round, ripe and boozes easily!  Ha Ha - we all survived.
