Enjoying the sun in ‘the 6’!

Fayewood and I had planned to meet up for coffee this morning but seeing what a bright and beautiful day it was...we both decided to enjoy our beverages at Edwards Gardens!
Brilliant and sound decision as we chose a lovely shaded bench seat to people watch all the activity! Afterwards, we strolled around the garden before it hit peak day.

The Light We Carry: Michelle & Oprah

As Michelle Obama says "When they go low, we go high"

Spent the May 2-4 weekend at the Capital with the rents!

Outdoor dining by the Parliment at Chateau Laurier's La Terrasse
Truffled Pork Sausage
pickled onion, smoked black garlic mayo,
foie torchon, crispy onions & fries

The belle of the meal was the
Espresso Martini composed of
Vodka, Espresso & coffee liquor

Game on!

The evening's contestants were Vanna White (normal game hostess), Mayim Bialik
(Big Bang Theory & Call Me Kat) & Ken (notable past jeopardy player)
Wonderfully entertaining show but Maggie (Pat Sajak's daughter who was guest hosting)
ended the evening saying 'I think I'll keep my day job!', ha!

D is for delicious!
Enjoyed introducing my fellow past co-worker, Rizwan
to the delights of Demetres!

I normally have the Moo La La option that I'd recommended to Rizwan
but opted to try the Cherry Cherry Extraordinary consisting of Cherry Blossom ice cream with
tart cherry compote, belgian ruby chocolate sauce and meringue kisses! #delish

Farewell to The Late Late Show with James Corden

8 years after taking over the show from Craig Ferguson (another fav late night talk show host), the show ended with a wonderful nostalgic song from James.
All the best!!!

Deja Vu...Andrew Belle - In My Veins lyrics

sullivan's crossing - ep 6 "Boiling Point" The song was a cover of Brandi Carlile's signature hit “The Story” — as performed by Ramirez during “Song Beneath the Song,” the season seven musical episode of Grey's Anatomy. Season 6 of "Grey's Anatomy": "In My Veins" by Andrew Belle 9. “In My Veins” by Andrew Belle Season 6, Episode 24, Title: “Death and All his Friends” In what turned out to be another nail-biter of a season finale, a shooter has entered the hospital and among other people, he’s shot Dr. Charles Percy. As Andrew Belle’s “In My Veins” swells, Bailey screams and yells as she realizes the hospital elevators have been turned off due to the hospital lock down. Belle’s song captures the sadness, rage, and frustration of Bailey’s situation.

Enjoy your cake & ice cream!!!

I've been watching 'Hot Ones' with for Sean Evans for a couple of seasons and considering I generally avoid spicy foods, I enjoy watching people eat spicy food to extreme discomfort. This week's episode had Sean chowing down with Jenna Ortega. She seems to be the first guest who was able to nosh all the wings to the end...even actually enjoying the spiciest!! #props Mar 2, 2023

Barbara Walters: 'The View' pays tribute

Passed away peacefully on Friday Dec 30 2022

As an avid watcher of 'The View', I was sad to have learned of Barbara Walters passing from Sunday Today with Willie Geist.

I've followed her in the past due to my enjoyment of following 'The View'.
After watching the 20/20 special on her over the weekend, I was reminded why she was so popular... that she's mostly known for charasmatic interviewing ability with us, the viewers. Other than The View, I knew her through her specials on ABC.

In today's 'The View' tribute, there was a parade of View veterans on the panel including current and onetime OG table mates Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos. They paid their respects to Barbara during and throughout today's special episode.

Barbara Walters defied sexism and ageism. She validated people's opinions. - Sunny
For someone who gets paid to talk. What she did so well was she listened. - Sara
There will never be another Barbara Walters - Whoopi

Conspicuously missing from the hour-long tribute: former co-host Rosie O’Donnell. According to O’Donnell’s spokesperson, the actress-comedian was invited to take part in Tuesday’s retrospective. However, “She is on a plane and couldn’t change her schedule,” the rep explained. A View spokesperson confirms that an invitation was indeed extended to O’Donnell. O’Donnell honored her former boss, who died Friday at the age of 93, on Instagram over the weekend. “What a long and eventful legendary life she had,” O’Donnell marveled. “Spoke to every prominent world leader in memory, interviewed everyone who’s anyone, and I was lucky enough to be in her orbit for a good many years.” Despite the pair’s well-documented rocky relationship, O’Donnell focused on the good times she shared with Walters. “We saw a lot of Broadway shows together,” she recalled, “and whenever we go backstage, I’d, like, try to help her, you know, over the steps backstage and she would always smack my hand and tell me to leave her alone. She [knew] what she was doing I could tell you that. “May she rest in peace and may everyone remember just what barriers she broke down for women,” O’Donnell concluded. “She… was the first, and will always be remembered.”

'Without Barbara Walters there wouldn't have been me - nor any other woman you see on evening, morning, and daily news.
She was indeed a trailblazer.'
