I'm Planning

an ancient villa in Sorrento sitting on a high cliff above
the Mediterranean Sea, just next door to the
luxury Bellevue Syrene Hotel,
a place I will never forget seeing from the balconies of the hotel.

cannot help but wonder about the amazing history of
this beautiful structure, who designed it, for whom it
was designed, who actually lived there
& on & on




one of the little streets in Positano as you make your way
down to the beach



sometimes, no matter how hard you try or how much it needs to be done,

NOTHING HAPPENS

my mind is not thinking "clean up this mess" right now

it's thinking about what to wear, how to style it, what's the weather going to be like

for

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

my group is heading to our regular Sunday Tex-Mex joint,

but we're going "into the back room" where all the big screen TV's are located, as well as walls of French doors (I know, don't ask "French doors in a Tex-Mex joint?)

to keep the noise down.

the entire room will be friends

FUN

everyone already knows I'm a true-blue PATRIOTS FAN.

when my hometown team is playing, THE HOUSTON TEXANS, of course, THEY are my team and I cheer.

so maybe something like this ?

or this

but then my mind roams and I start thinking of what I'll take to the Amalfi Coast later

this year...

like this

or this, definitely this

well, NOT THOSE SHOES, please

you know, we'll be outdoors most of the time, walking, shopping, dining, cocktailing, shopping, just sitting and overlooking the

beautiful Mediterranean Sea (I could do this for hours!).

sandals, sandals, sandals

but ones that stay on your feet and are really comfortable.

no one is inside on the Amalfi Coast,

even the shop doors are wide open with the various owners standing in the doorway waiting to greet you with the

most generous of welcomings.

most of you already know, I don't wear jeans very often,

but definitely not on this holiday..

I need something lighter in feeling and more Italian.

linen or silk or cotton pants,

maxi skirts with tees

tons of jewelry if you want to put up with it,

but not serious jewelry, fun stuff...

or just buy it there

oh, and I love love love

Brunello Cucinelli

and Johnny Was

well, you get the idea I know.

OK, so now ...

WHO'S WATCHING THE SUPER BOWL  ?????
