Paloma’s polite bark woke me too early this morning. Then it escalated to her famous high pitch. To avoid the next one, I groggily schlepped

On a recent Saturday morning after our dental appointments, Louie and I decided to stop for a late breakfast at Art’s Delicatessen.

It warmed our hearts when Paloma, now 13 weeks old, brought smiles to our neighbor boys, Jason and Roman.

We are still catching our breath after welcoming 9-week-old Paloma, a Golden Retriever, on October 25.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, DIA DE LOS MUERTOS, AND GUY FAWKES DAY!

WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES

Sharing space...

AH, TO BE IN PARIS…

A few weeks ago, in the middle of the week, my dear friend Valerie and I finally pulled off the simple feat of getting together.

So, while sitting at my desk, I turned my calendar to the new month. Then, something compelled me to scroll back through my diary entries...

What I thought would be a quick meal to put together, became a production, just the way Louie likes it.

Before immersing into my next travel story deadline – Claremont, California, for TraveLife (Canada) - I took some time to “smell the roses."

While Independence Day may have been yesterday (Sunday), my town will hold its much-anticipated annual 4th of July parade today.

Not the first time we had crossed paths.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I could not have been happier to see a text from Jeannie, my American BFF living in Paris, France.
