Remember
life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a beautiful
well-preserved body but rather an adventure in which you skid in broadside,
totally exhausted and thoroughly used up, loudly proclaiming,
"Wow!
What a ride!"



"What the hell.
You die.
Everybody dies.
So you die healthy.
So what?"

— Kay Scarpetta
who loves life
and food and wine
and lives as if
there's no tomorrow

(from one of Patricia Cornwell's fabulous novels)



"Nothing tastes
as good
as skinny feels."
— Kate Moss

(I keep hoping someday I'm going to believe this!)

Our black wrought iron back fence had seen its better days. I agonized ... replace it with black wrought iron or white vinyl? I decided on white vinyl and oh my god it's beautiful! There's nowhere I'd rather be than on my back patio. My contractor was exceptional from salesman to store manager to office staff to job site manager to installers. They got an A+ in every single category. If you're thinking about a new fence, don't hesitate to contact them.

For years Bill had been talking about retiring. He gave me date after date (remember?) and one by one, the dates slipped by. In exasperation, I finally said, "Don't give me any more dates. I'll believe it when it happens."

Then, on September 27th at a corporate sales summit, Bill announced he was stepping down from his position as Asia Pacific EVP and Managing Director effective December 31st

. . . and . . .



on November 12th at 3:15pm, after 6 years of being in Asia and Australia — there a month, home a month, there a month — Bill arrived in our driveway, home from his LAST trip!

What a memorable life-changing moment for both of us.

Now I believe!

It cleans glass, mirrors, car windows and house windows,
bathroom sinks and tubs and shower glass,
chrome, porcelain, marble and tile.
It even gets rid of fingerprints on stainless steel!
It leaves everything sparkling clean and
IT DOESN'T STREAK!

I know, you've heard it before, but this time it's really true.
THIS PRODUCT DOESN'T STREAK!

You won't mind cleaning anything around the house.
You won't even mind cleaning windows because all you do is spritz and wipe each side and you don't have to go over the glass again and again, trying to figure out which side the streaks are on.

And wait til you see what it does to gold and diamonds!
Clean them first with a toothbrush and toothpaste, rinse them, spritz them with the cleansing alcohol, then wipe them dry with a paper towel. They'll sparkle so bright you'll need sunglasses!

Where can you buy it?

Sally's Beauty Supply
If you don't have one locally, you can buy it online at

Warning: Don't use on coated, treated, or brass finishes.
Not good on wood surfaces although I've tried it on my wood floors and they're fine.



SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 — THANKSGIVING WEEKEND



So thankful for another spectacular day! Bright blue sky, brilliant sunshine, birds chirping, and 71° at 8am. Had coffee on the patio with Bill and Andi Pandi and there was nowhere else I'd rather have been!
