No, no... this post is not about the best way to dress your summer salads, rather how to dress your summer self in breezy, lightweight dresses that will keep you cool through the icky 80-some percent humid Kentucky summer.
Actually, as I write, the man and I are in Chicago, where the humidity ...
Summer, Finally
I'm so stinking happy summer is here!! Granted, I'm never a fan of Kentucky's blazing hot temps and humidity so heavy that my glasses fog up as soon outside, but there's something nice about seeing the sun out every day (when the summer storms stop) and leaving my coats in the coat closet where ...
A Tropical Tablescape
It's appropriate, given the forecast for the next 10 days (thunderstorms and humidity for everyone!), that I'm in something of a tropical mood. This weekend, I rocked a zebra print day dress, started craving mai tais and Pina coladas, and picked up an armful of tropical stems from Mahonia to put ...
Touring Bourbon
I'm a creature of habit, of tradition. There's post-Derby Sunday brunch, always heading to Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, Italian Creme Cake at the holidays. It's as if- over the years- I've created so many "always" in my life that there was no room for anything new or different. If I ...
Sorry for the Silence…
According to pro handicapper, Bill Doolittle, "The less you bet, the more you lose when you don't win."
Friends, may the sun shine bright on our Old Kentucky Home this weekend. May your glasses be full, may your pimento cheese be perfect, and may all your winning tickets bet the long shot. ...

Keeping Fresh
Years ago, when the TV show What Not To Wear was at the height of it's popularity, Stacy and Clinton dolled out what really was some of the best fashion advice. One of the lines that stuck with me, always, was that it didn't have to "match," it just had to "go."
I believe that this phrase is a ...
Cheers to 2019!
A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to join some family friends for a Saturday dinner. Thinking there'd be a small meal and a lot of Bourbon, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in a kitchen buzzing with activity. Husband was bright-eyed and excited over some thick pork chops he'd ...
Thanksgiving- A Pheasant-Filled Table
My sweet readers, a beautiful Thanksgiving week is wished to you! Easily my favorite holiday- one centered around sharing a meal and sharing ideas- I've always found that Thanksgiving can get lost in the shuffle. Halloween decorations are always out with school supplies- spider webs and skeletons ...
