My friend Suzi and I met in the early days of interior design school. We were two older moms, Air Force wives, facing down dastardly professors. We were destined to become friends. Suzi is a top notch hostess. One of our best memories is the Seinfeld themed party “Festivus” she and her charming husband Ron held during one holiday season. Oh was that fun!

Crossing the Delaware, Delicious Eats and a Darling Dress Shop
On a bright and glorious morning I crossed the Delaware. But it was over this bridge not via a boat. Less drama for sure.
