Al Fresco Dining in Houston Ups it's Game.

as Covid-19 has changed our dining out routines,

there are many Houston restaurants who have upped their game in al fresco dining.

on our lovely dining scene.

many of my fav's are shown, most notably THE ANNIE, which is 1 block from me,

which means I CAN WALK THERE.

unless someone else does the heavy lifting.

I am tired and need a getaway, 

outside my building and outside of Houston,

where I can take my doggie, Bono, and have room service.

one of my girlfriends who lives in the same building has these white chairs

in her dining room.

her mother is an interior designer in Los Angeles, 

and designed/decorated/installed

EVERYTHING

from photos her daughter sent to her of the new apartment,

which is fabulous, BTW.

These chairs are awesome.

Comfortable X10

& so stricking in her apartment because everything is white/tan/beige

& in case you think that could be boring...it is not.

it is serene, comfortable, sleek, contemporary

& very very very cat friendly, as my friend

has 6 cats.

all from a forelorn litter she rescued somewhere,

 & then found she could not give them up

after saving their lives.

stories like this make me happy nowadays.

not 

fashion

cooking

gossip

movies

animals

the well-being of all our Earth's wildlife.

oh, how I wish I had a farm....

Anna Heinrich, New Fashion to LOVE

well, I would wear this in a heart-beat.

really !!!

everything about it appeals to me,

the sleeves, the scalloped hem, the little handbag

such an easy dress to actually WEAR

Anna, is a German designer whose love of beautiful night gowns inspired her

collection for Spring/Summer

all in natural fibers, pure fabrics.

the above outfit is $1,234.00

what do you guys think of this new line ????

I would love to know.

today one of my girlfriends and I are going to help an 
elegant 90-year old Belgian woman
pack up her condo to MOVE TO SANTA FE

although she lives in a high-rise & her apartment is not
too large, she has PERSONAL POSSESSIONS
which she treasures:  artworks, tabletop, china, crystal, silver,
etc.

she was so worried about it we offered to pack it ourselves.

I'm a good to great packer, if that's a good thing?

she is quite regal, with snow white hair, and a
daunting personality.  in other words, she wants
it done HER way.

well, we bought all the packing materials on Friday,
believe me, it fills the entire back of my SUV,
& have actual movers arriving to assist us with the
large pieces.  so we'll be OK.

now, this is the question:
imagine at 90 moving to a NEW place?

pretty spectacular isn't it?

Easter Sunday

please, my readers, pray for our country, 

in a crisis unlike any before.

pray for the sickness to vanish

pray for the sick

pray for the well

ask the Lord, our Father, to heal us from this blight,

to let the sun shine down upon our beautiful land,

to lift our fellow citizens, some of whom are injured financially while we war with this

Corona Virus.

Jesus arose.

with His help we will also rise.

God Bless America & All of Her People
