Now, where were we? It seems it’s been birth month starting with a FABULOUS dinner by Kirk Whiteside in Helena, AR. Well, actually…I suppose it started 63 years ago with Quindel and Fay. So many people prefer to ignore birthdays but it’s my favorite time of year. You know, if we stop having birthdays…The End!…

Fall, Food, Friends
I have no Italian blood that I know of. However, the Italian culture is very much a part of who I’ve become. I love Sunday Suppers. The Italian mothers cook all day Sunday and the family comes over to enjoy her labor of love. Sunday night just seems like the perfect time to celebrate the…
Partee Part One
Last week was full of celebration. I had a birthday, we participated in a Harvest Dinner and we hosted a Sweet Sixteen dinner. I’ll share these with you in two parts because I don’t want you to overindulge as we did. The festivities began with my birthday. Since we had just done Supper Club on…
Staycation…
Since May I’ve traveled to eight cities in seven states and from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Smoky Mountains. We thought about several travel options for the holiday weekend but ended up at our lovely loft in downtown Memphis…which we seldom see anymore. The farm in Byhalia is becoming more and more like home….

This Solitary Life
I know two weeks is too long to be away. I feel certain you have been sitting staring at your monitor the whole time. Now, you have to clear your schedule because this will be the longest post in history. However, you’re about to see my life in a two-week retrospective. I’ll begin with the…
Back to the Real World…
Holiday is always fun and refreshing but getting back to the daily routine often is one step away from depressing. This scenery takes my bio-rhythms to a place that makes the routine a real challenge. Nevertheless, life goes on and I’m very fortunate to have some wonderful opportunities on the docket. Sunday we had a…
What a Difference a Day Makes!!!
I told you yesterday that today we would compare and contrast Vegas to LA. So here goes. Here’s a welcome entrance in Las Vegas. And, here’s the LA version. Here’s a visual display in Vegas… And, here’s LA…oh my!!! Yesterday afternoon was spent at The Getty Museum in Brentwood…home of O.J., Reese, Ben, Marilyn and…
What Happens in VEGAS…
…really should stay in Vegas. Las Vegas is truly the only city in the world that can get away with the concept of “it’s not done until it’s overdone”. Moderation and Las Vegas are like fire and ice. Personally, the visual stimulation is exhausting. When visiting a museum or gallery there’s opportunity to take a…
