 Don't know what it is, but I just love sitting outside. The bonus was that this restaurant was a place we hardly frequented before. It was on the lake, and its former ownership's style was average food, average price, but great place to be. Then the restaurant was bought, and it opened this year. The inside is lovely with it's high ceilings, excellent comfortable seating, windows all exposing the beautiful marina and lake we enjoy watching. In addition, the chef is new, from the show, "Hell's Kitchen" with Gordan Ramsey, and was preparing our food! Needless to say, the flavors...

          Hello everyone! I think everyone knows at this point I like wine. I used to get the gallon Franzia in a box in college. Then it was zinefindel which I do like, but have gone to a couple of tastings to know what i like.  Who doesn't enjoy a crisp, cold glass of pinot grigio in the spring/summer months? My husband and I went to this new Tapas ad Wine Bar called Bacchus Tapas and Wine, here in our neighborhood. It was nice to sit...

 Morning everyone!There is one thing about spring, among many that I enjoy seeing. I don't know much about flowers, but I know which I like. I couldn't tell you the names of flowers like my parents or mother-in -law could, they are all avid gardeners. I just love to see blooming tulips, roses, rhododendren bushes, so many others. When we went out with the pups for a sip or two of wine, we decided to take some pictures near these beautiful purple and orchid colored flowers.Prior to, I had to get out of the car as my husband circled for...

The sun peaked it's head out today, although I am still waiting for the high 60s early 70's. I do shop at Ann Taylor a lot, as you probably know, and this came out last year at the beginning of spring. I love florals, love roses, and against the white, it was so vibrant, I thought I would be able to pair this with much in my closet. I suppose you also know how much I like lace, that is made well, and this is probably where "Ann" and I began our relationship. I used to shop at Ann Taylor...

I do really like purple. I think between purple and blue are the two colors I could use more of in my closet. I love love love, lavendar, the color, the flowers, the smell of it as essential oil in my bath. Deep purple is also a favorite, the jewel tone that is so rich, it looks so lovely. So when I brought this dress out of my closet, I saw those colors, as well as fuschia, which is a color that is sprouting up in spring fashion as well. This isn't a wrap dress, a style of dress I...

Ok, Blush and cobalt seem to be the colors of the season. Ann Taylor, one of my favorite shops began their spring season with a lot of blush:skirts, tops, dresses, etc.I love it and am quite excited about it. I do think with blush, depending on your coloring, that you may want to add a stronger contrast, or a colorful scarf. I choose to wear black. I am a fan of peplum tops, if the waist hits me in the right place, and this one did. I love the colorblock of the black and blush, a light, feminine color against...

 If you saw my Monday post,  I talked about the rarity of the zebra, if you want to know why I did that, it is a long story, so you would be better of reading the post. I will tell you what is NOT rare here in North Charlotte, or Lake Norman, and that is access to Vineyards. There are about 75 vineyards we can get to, that are within a reasonable drive. We have 3 favorites currently, and went to one today. Childress Vineyards is beautiful: fountains with flowers, building that is stone and could be a small castle,...
