I had a lovely day with Lady Kate. Lady Kate was my room mate in college in the sorority house. She was, and still is, a morning person and I was…uh…not.

This was my favorite cereal growing up and I can still feel what is was like waking up at the crack of noon on Saturday and filling up my bowl with the flavorful corn puffs that would… [Read More]
For awhile now I have been drawn to things made out of old typewriter keys. Maybe because I wanted to be a columnist for a newspaper or I’ve seen Barbara Stanwyck one too many times peering over the carriage return frantically writing copy in Meet John Doe. “Hunt & Peck…” Wine charms for the book club meeting on Tuesday evenings. “Can you spell…” P-I-N-K-M-A-R-T-I-N-I For your editor or copy boy… “Stop the presses because you have made my heart stand… [Read More]

Last night while son2 took a break from finals and studying for AP’s and went to the movies to see Wolverine with some friends, Mr. P. Martini and I decided to try out a new sports bar in Ladera Ranch. I am not a sports bar kinda gal but I am an exceedingly good sport. While the choice of viewing entertainment was extensive with Dodgers and Angels games (one was almost rained out in the new Yankee stadium although I… [Read More]
