A Toast to New Orleans and YOU -Week of March 14-22 Round Table Luncheon Saluting Spring, St. Patrick's and St, Joseph's Days on March 16
Good morning my darling family and friends, A glorious, sunny Monday, March 14 is waking us up. Let's welcome it and enjoy because we never know if there will be another one. My car accident taught me that life is ephemeral and should be enjoyed like there is not tomorrow but of course you know that I have been doing it all along. “Sometimes we don’t realize the blessings we have until we no longer have them. Appreciate all the blessings in your life, take none for granted.” Happy Monday! Today, just breathe. Have faith and hope and know everything is going to be fine because God is in control.”
Darlings last week was a very memorable week. i started my social week by attending a fabulous avant-garde
What a fun evening at the French Fashion show sponsored by the New Orleans French Consulate with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural and Mc’s by Tracee Dundas, founder of the New Orleans Fashion Week. It was very interesting to see what the young designers are creating! I love seeing all my darling fashionista friends enjoying a lovely fashion show of .Ecolé Duperré Paris

I was invited by my darling longtime friends, talented artist Terrance Osborne and his wife Stephanie to the unveiling of the fabulous original of the 2022 New Orleans Heritage Festival poster and to meet his patron, philanthropist, Richard Colton. who bought the original and commissioned a large painting at Terrance Osborne Gallery on Magazine Street.
My roommate Rick Tringali suggested that we should go out to t dinner and we were crossing the street at the corner a car cut it term short and threw me and Rick up in the air like rag dolls. We hit hard the pavement and have bruises. I give credit to my green hat for protecting my head when I hit the pavement. The police and ambulance were called. I was checked and decided that that i did not wanted to go to the hospital. At the insistence of many of my friends. Rick and I were checked at the University for broken bones and the results were negative. We both feel sore but alive and will continue observing our body in case we need treatments.
On Thursday, i enjoyed tremendously the visit of Hoda Kobt and Jeanna Bush of the Today Show. The New Orleans & Co invited her to Jackson Square and loved seeing so many f my longtime friends enjoying her visit. Thank you Mark Romig and NO and Co.
On Friday, i enjoyed very much attending the delicious Debouche Luncheon at new restaurant BESAME at 110 S. Rampart. Check it out!
