Happy 60th Birthday Prince Charles!

2 Comments / Uncategorized /

You gotta love Charles…. Even though I was on the Diana side of the divorce, the more you read about their lives, you realize they should never have married….. and as there always is- two sides to the story… Over the years, we Diana fans have come to love Charles for what and who he is, starting with his genuine grief over her death , then how he raised his boys, concluding with marrying Camilla – his true love- a woman who didn’t wear make up, worry about her attire and except for Charles who she loved for over 30 years before he married her- loved dogs and horses more then she loved humans.

Charles just turned 60, the longest person in English history to wait to become King…. He has done many, many amazing things in his life including being a “sponsor” of over 350 British Charities and forming several foundations to work on one of his many passions in life. One of which is finding ways to help save planet earth…

There are two terrific websites to visit to learn more about Charles , his life, what’s he’s up to ( his version of a blog! ) and just to look at some great pictures of his life, including the boys!

Happy Birthday Charles! We yanks wish you the happiest of Birthdays!

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

While on the search to find more info on political cupcakes I just saw on MSNBC, I googled Obama Cupcakes. Poop- this INCREDIBLE blog popped up! Which just proves my point about life- The Internet can find anything you want and or need in the world.

http://www.cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/ is the site and their very fun tag line….. “All Cupcakes, all the time….” Rachel, Allison and Nichelle – my hat is off to you for a truly creative, very well done blog!

And if you’re looking for some fun pumpkin flavored cupcakes, visit http://www.marthastewart.com/ and see what she has on her home page. Too cute ( and yummy!)

The last stop on the New England Road trip

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

While cruising back down I 95 from Boston, half way home is New York City. Right before the city is New Rochelle, NY. We pulled over for gas and the smell of bagels was in the air ( well, at least in my imagination…) We asked the gas attendant who was from East Africa and he immediately gave us directions to the “best Jewish deli in town”.

8 miles later through town, we found the bagel shop. Line out the door! Well worth the wait. Hot corned pastrami on rye, an Everything Bagel with a smear of cream cheese and lox, half sour pickles…. yummy! This little shopping center was a mini UN. In the same strip was an Italian deli carry out, Middle Eastern restaurant, Starbucks staffed by all goth looking kids and our Bagel Shop. Just goes to show you how the world truly can live ( and eat!) together when we try!

Speaking of our country as a melting pot, I’ve been staying throughout these past three weeks at various Marriott hotels ( did you think I’d stay at another hotel chain after 26 years?) and was really struck by the realization that the majority of the people who work in our hotels have English as a second language. They work in all areas from the front desk to housekeeping to managing the hotels. But even more interesting to me was the look on the faces I saw. There was a look of hope and happiness and yes- feeling proud to be an American ( or at least working in America for some I’m sure!) I truly don’t think I was imagining this and don’t know if it’s because we just had the election, but as I honestly saw something different in the faces of the people who are primarily on the lower end of the economic ladder. I think it’s because a majority of our country feels we are now part of something bigger then just ourselves and we’re a country who can work together to bring our country back . Quite a wonderful experience! And GREAT BAGELS!!!
