A brilliant plan… I think. Inviting our adult children to join us on a vacation in Napa Valley and San Francisco takes quite a bit of planning. Four schedules to contend with and four strong opinions,(as well as enthusiasm) were all considered and a plan was created. The truth is that the kids and Craig truly …
There is never a shortage of amazing food markets in New York City. Picking a favorite is like choosing which of your friends you like best..impossible!

A visit to The High Line has been on my New York City “activities to do list” for quite a while. We have been in New York many times, but Craig and I finally made it a priority. Shame on me, shame on us, I can’t believe I waited so long! It is truly incredible. …

I was contacted by a Toronto production company to see if I was interested in testing and working with a product that would be a great fit with the lifestyle of an empty nester. As you may know, …
Happy Fourth of July to one and all! It is just about time to celebrate the birth of our nation, eat great barbecue, watch fireworks, enjoy family and friends and pull out all of our red, white and blue finery. It is heartwarming to see the American flag used as patriotic decorations like these at Farm + …
So what is on your Summer Reading List? My reading habits go from voracious to non-existent. Partly because I get busy and partly because I will read a book that I don’t particularly like and it sours me on reading for the time being. However, then someone recommends a great book and I am off …
What is it like to stay in a Presidential Suite? Two words: Fab-ulous! Have you ever wondered what a Presidential Suite might look like? What does Presidential mean exactly?
