Lovely, warm Sarasota
It’s a beautiful, warm day here in Lexington, Kentucky but I still can’t help thinking about our lovely girlfriends getaway to Sarasota a few weeks ago. The beaches in the area, the many activities we participated in and the time spent with a couple of girlfriends was wonderful! I decided we needed to return to … Continue reading
A Few Days at the Lovely Henderson Park Inn
We just spent a lovely few days at the Henderson Park Inn in Destin, Florida. A LOVELY few days. This is absolutely one of my favorite hotels in the whole world.

My goal in life is to be half as cool as my mom is when I am 89. From her, I inherited my height, long legs, and great complexion. Thanks, Mom. She also taught me how to shop for bargains, how to dress nicely no matter what the occasion, and how to be a true lady … Continue reading
