On the First Play(list) of Christmas, The Lexingtonienne Gave to Me: Jingle Bells

Posted in: Eleanora, Family, Food, Globe Trotting, Holidays, Music

I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving. We sure did. We were in Philadelphia with Hubba Bubba’s family, where we enjoyed a lovely Turkey Day with family & friends, had a big time at the fabulous Please Touch Museum, and devoured some seriously amazing cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches at George’s Sandwich Shop on 9th Street in Philadelphia in the heart of the Italian market. The Guy Fieri types like to highlight Pat’s and Geno’s on Food Network shows, but take it from me… if you ever find yourself in Philadelphia, go straight to George’s and have Mark and his daughter Audrey hook you up.

And now that Thanksgiving is over… let’s move on to CHRISTMAS.

Hit the Road, Jack: The Travel Playlist

Posted in: Globe Trotting, Music

My friend Sydney is taking a two-week vacation to Thailand (raise your hand if you’re jealous), and she asked if I had any suggestions for travel music. Do I ever.

But with the holidays coming up, Sydney isn’t the only one packing her suitcase. Hubba Bubba, Eleanora, and I – like many others – are among those who will be in the air and on the road this Thanksgiving. While I realize some folks can’t resist starting the Christmas music on November 1 (present company secretly included), here is a non-holiday, anytime travel playlist for those who aren’t quite ready for holiday carols… and for those needing a break from Jingle Bell Rock.

Fall in Kentucky and Trick-or-Treat 2012

Posted in: Eleanora, Family, Globe Trotting, Holidays, Life, My House is a Wreck

We’ve been back from our Kentucky trip for a few weeks now, but I’m just now getting around to posting these photos. It’s my cleaning lady’s fault, or my EX-cleaning-lady, I should say. I could launch into a fuming diatribe about that, but suffice it to say my pet tornado and I are currently cleaning lady-less. Therefore, my to-do list has gotten a lot longer. (If anyone has a recommendation for a reliable housekeeper, the Duffys are hiring.)

Anyway, here’s Eleanora in Kentucky with her cousin Cooper. 🙂
