Bonjour mes amis, We had an awesome event last night for Le Dîner en Blanc in Decatur alongside the Tennessee River. The weather was near perfect though a bit warm at first. We felt raindrops only as we were departing on the bus at 10:15pm. The weather gods couldn’t have been nicer to us. Le […]

Dear Friends, Later this spring, a very special, exclusive, never-before-event is coming to our area…Diner en Blanc. You’ve heard me blog about this before from Paris… where everyone rushes to a secret, pre-arranged spot by invitation only to have dinner in the open air. Everyone dresses in white. We’ve gotten to see this twice in our […]
Dear Friends, Just a few more photos from around Vail village before we catch our plane out later this morning. A tip to those who plan to visit some day: fly into Eagle/Vail Airport if you can and not Denver International. DIA is a 2-hour drive to Vail and the smaller, regional airport is only […]
Dear Friends, I promised more photos from our trip to Vail so here goes. But first you might find it interesting to hear about what’s the same and what’s different about Vail from nearly a dozen trips through the years. What’s the same…the beautiful snowy trails on the mountain, the pricey shops and restaurants, the […]
Dear Friends, Snow skiing has been one of the most fun parts of my life for the past thirty years. And many of my ski trips were spent in Vail, Colorado with my friend, Jane Jattuso. Jane co-owned a lovely condo and generously shared her hospitality with me. As the years have gone by, Jane […]
Dear Friends, This morning I took Bernie to the airport for a journey to France without me. I feel a bit like a lost puppy as we’ve traveled there together for the last 15 years. He will be attending the funeral of his cousin, Jean-Paul Weiss in Alsace near the German border. He passed away […]
Dear Friends, It’s early on Monday morning and we are docked in New York City, ready to disembark. What a night! We hit a terrible storm with 15-foot waves again. Proud to say that neither of us got sick but it was close about midnight! I was dosed up on Bonine and another seasick medicine […]
Dear Friends, I’m sorry that my blogging has been so sporadic, but our internet connectivity has been hit or miss. So I’m doing the best I can. Our cabin steward just stopped me in the hall to let me know that he would be bringing in our veranda furniture for tonight because the weather is […]
Dear Friends, I posted some of these pictures on Facebook, but for those who aren’t on FB, here’s another rendition. We loved the town of Halifax, Nova Scotia and especially Peggy’s Cove, which is a tiny but scenic fishing village about thirty minutes from downtown. History abounds in this area for several reasons: 1. The […]
