Subject: A Toast w Orleans & YOU! Happy, spirited week of July 25-Augus 1st. Tales of the Cocktail & more.
Good afternoon my darling family and friends. A glorious Monday, July 25 is waking us in beautiful Playa Boca Chica and I feel grateful and blessed. I am praying for all that are experiencing heat waves. Stay cool & hydrated.
Let's attack Monday with enthusiasm, laughter, thousands of smiles and cheerfulness. Each Monday is a canvas and only you choose with which colors you’ll paint it; you create your own mood. You will never have today again. Make it count. When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and spark all day. Miss You!
I am staying at Boca Chica until tomorrow when my darling Lorenzo will arrive and join us at our home in Santo Domingo. Donna has invited us to spend the weekend with her friends in beautiful Punta Cana & I can't not wait.
I am devastated to learn of the passing of my longtime friend Harold Patin. My deepest condolences to his partner Carol Allen and his family. Unfortunately, since I am out of town, I will miss his funeral service. I will always treasure the lovely memories of the time spent with Harold and Carol! May his soul RIP.
 | HAROLD PATIN OBITUARY. Harold Clay Patin, Jr., on Sunday, July 17, 2022 at the age of 82, passed away. Husband of the late Linda Selle Patin. Father of Allison Sellers (Christopher) and Alicia Bouchon (Michael). obits.nola.com |
As in the past my body is soaking the cool breeze of the Caribbean Sea but my mind and soul are in my beloved New Orleans. I hate to miss the 20th anniversary of Tales of the Cocktail since I have been to everyone since the beginning. Unfortunately, I do not have a clone and it is important that escape the brutal New Orleans's heat. I feel blessed to enjoy the Rest and Relaxion needed for me to recharge my energy for the 2022-23 Cultural-Social Season . Of course, the minute that I will return, I will be immense in fun-loving events and of course will include the hosting of my annual RTL:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 AT 11:30 AM – 2 PM
Have a fabulous, blessed day
