We have returned from our trip, a bit road weary, but nonetheless filled with memories of time spent with friends and family. This post will focus on the beautiful Plantation Homes of Louisiana. I was recently thinking about the blessed French and their great tradition of taking a month-long holiday in August. Although my son's school will start next Monday here in Phoenix, I thought this blog could serve as a literary traveling holiday for the next few weeks. Plantation Homes Last ... View the Post
Carrie Leaves the Penthouse SATC 2
A little over two years ago I wrote a post entitled “Carrie Bradshaw Gets A New Apartment”. That post continues to receive a few hits a week. I felt it was my sacred design duty to write about the decor in the sequel. So I viewed Sex In The City 2 immediately upon its release. The opening scene finds our heroine leaving the apartment she shares with Mr. Big. I of course desperately love the Halston Heritage dress. The Chanel clutch isn’t too bad either. Here is Carrie Leaves the Penthouse SATC ... View the Post

Little House on the Prairie The Musical
Little House on the Prairie The Musical finally made a wagon train stop in Tempe, Arizona. Of course, I HAD to go. On the opening night no less. Little House on the Prairie The Musical Melissa Gilbert plays the part of "Ma". There is no doubt about it, the lady can sing! Her song to Laura "Wild Child" made me all misty. Steve Blanchard fills the boots of "Pa" quite well. His voice is like golden honey. The entire cast is truly wonderful! The entire audience laughed and cried ... View the Post
E I E I O
I recently took my little farmers somewhere fabulous. We may have even sung E I E I O. E I E I O Cock~a~doodle~doo to you! A week old and very thirsty! This Nanny had good taste...she loved my friend J's purse. Buzzin' around. Making our way through the hanger onto the plane ride. Oh no! In a turn of events, the damsel must save a boy in distress before the train comes. The hired hands cruise around the farm on these. I want one. After enjoying a pig race and a ... View the Post
