Encinitas and La Jolla

Before leaving LA, my husband and I spent the afternoon in Santa Monica. My real goal was to make sure I visited Montana Avenue, home to Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic home furnishing store.

Women Who Write – LA

Finally, I made it to LA.

If I remember correctly, I …

Road Trip – San Francisco to LA

Packed up my car and headed out of San Francisco – my first stop on the way to LA would be the beautiful Monterey/Carmel area. I have been there before, years ago, this time I was going to be on my own. My husband will meet up with me in a few days in LA. Turned the radio up, sang …

San Francisco – My Kind of Town!

My most recent trip to the West Coast was both book business and pleasure. We started in San Francisco. We stayed downtown, a block and 1/2 away from Union Square, at the Prescott Hotel.  The sights, the sounds, the food, the people, the art galleries. Just so much to see and experience. Before taking off for a few days of …

A Wellesley Thanksgiving

I have so much to write about that I am going to have to break the next couple of posts up in sections. They will be centered around my recent trip to Boston and my hometown of Wellesley during the Thanksgiving week. I  have not been back to Boston and Wellesley, the town I grew up in, since my Dad …

I will start with the Decatur Book Festival in Decatur, …
