I understand it’s a sign of aging but still find it sobering when friends my age or younger move beyond the realm. My last post shared a celebration of a life short-lived. This this past week a friend had an asthma attack and is now watching over us and another friend is in a coma…

Sun, Sand and Serenity
Someday…maybe, someday… The water has such healing powers for me I think someday we need to live in a waterfront community. We loved the Amalfi Coast last year to the point that I went into a funk when we came home. Now, a year later we’re on the Pacific Coast and I’ve got the “I…
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…
Spring Fling
I can’t promise when but history proves that we will eventually have Spring. For some the season will be brief and summer will take over with all its glory. Spring and summer both hold wonderful opportunities for cocktail parties, backyard socials and of course weddings. Here are some inspiration photos to help you plan your Spring…
Grand and Grandiose!!!
Day two in East Tennessee…the day to take a little trip over the mountain to Asheville. However, on all our adventures we love to hang out with the local’s. In lieu of cooking another award-winning breakfast at home we decided to “eat breakfast on the road”. We stopped at Clarence’s Drive-In and let me just…
One Singular Dinner
We continued our celebration of A Chorus Line with the arrival of Donna McKechnie for the opening night gala at Theatre Memphis. The role of Cassie was actually part of the life story of Donna and she originated the role on Broadway. Unfortunately, I had bronchial crude all week and really was not at my…
Sunday Brunch
Sunday is a wonderful day of the week. To claim it as a real day of rest offers the opportunity to relax and enjoy personal time or gather with friends and family. Therefore, it often arbitrarily becomes a day for memorable meals. I’m not a breakfast fan. However, Brandt loves breakfast…7/365…he doesn’t really get going…
The Pantry
I was searching for another diversion from our no child blues and a Valentine Dinner in a lovely restaurant seemed fitting. However, having recently returned from New York (I still haven’t shown you everything) the Memphis options didn’t seem fitting at all. I gave it some thought and begin to realize I had some “pantry”…
Sunday Supper
We’ve been a bit…well, a lot blah over the loss of our four-footed child. Honestly, it’s been difficult to get out of bed. However, a friend called and wanted to do Sunday Supper. I found this a way to shift my focus, prepare a good meal and we even celebrated the Lunar New Year, a…
