Reading, Eating, Conversing Italian Style!

image

The best book club ever!   No one has to cook, clean their house, or clean up afterwards.  Just pay $20 and show up at Nicoletta’s Table in Lake Oswego.  The ambiance, the food, and the lively conversation will transport you to Italy for a few hours.   I always feel as though I have been on a mini vacation! Many thanks to Shari Newman, proprietor and her talented staff Liane and Suzanne for making these meetings so much fun.  They spoil us with a yummy 3-4 course lunch including dessert and prosecco.

The next gathering is Wednesday, Novmber 18, 11:30 -1:30 P.M.  The book is An Italian Journey: A Harvest of Revelations in the Olive Groves of Tuscany by James Ernest Shaw.  I downloaded a copy on my Kindle.   Make a reservation by calling Nicoletta’s Table at 503-699-2927.  Ciao!

― Mark Twain, The Diary of Adam and Eve

Disclosure:  In my work with AJP Northwest, I have the opportunity to visit many restaurants, bakeries, bars and food carts.  Many of the places that I recommend are clients of AJP Northwest.   However, I would never recommend a place unless I loved it.  It’s that simple!  Continue reading “My Favorite Food Places” →

A New Life for Ginny

Every once in a while, I yearn for a dog.  I envision a sweet, loving dog sitting by my desk as I work, accompanying me on long walks, and listening to me as I talk to her instead of myself.  When I have this feeling, I visit a few websites and bookmark pictures of dogs that I like.  That usually is the end of it which is a good thing as I work full time and travel often.  My life does not accommodate a dog!

Welcome!

Welcome to my world and my journey as a busy woman!   I love my life!  I am happy and busy with my career, my family, friends, and activities.   I will share my “finds”, my insight and my experiences.  I do this to lighten the load for another, to make someone’s day a little better and perhaps to solve a problem or offer a different perspective on a situation.  Also, I will share guest posts!

Please stay tuned for fun, interesting and informative posts.  Cheers!
