Hugh Hefner and I have a lot in common these days. Granted, he has a few years and a few billion bucks on me, and he is a much pickier eater; but I know what he went through with losing his 3 main girls, seemingly all at once. It is a mixed bag full of emotions and...

I have two friends that are extra especially wonderful to eat with. They love to try everything and even better, they love to share everything! Lovely Kirsten was my first and you never forget your first. It was a girl’s weekend at the Salish Lodge: spa treatments,...

I am sorry that I have been away so long! First the hard drive on my computer went bad. Then the blog server had script errors (or something like that) that took days for my web guru to fix. Then my home Internet connection went south and over the course of the past...

So while we were in Bingen for Thanksgiving my parents stayed one night at the Inn of the White Salmon. My mom and I got a tour from the owner, who has been there about a year and is slowly remodeling the space. The downstairs hall is light and bright with local art...
