I just won an amazing pair of shoes- “shooties”, actually, as one correctly refers to a shoe-bootie: the Carlos Santana Chula Ankle Boot (pictured above) with a round toe, reptile printed fabric upper, and smooth leather patchwork detailing. These babies will give petite little me 4 inches of height, but, having a Read more…
May 14-16 the Elkhorn Inn will host a “West Virginia Wine-Tasting Weekend”, including two Chef Dan dinners, each accompanied by 3 different WV wines! We aim to prove, once and for all, that there are not only Great wines from West Virginia, but ALSO Great food with which to accompany them! Read more…
We disembarked from Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of Seas into a Freezing Cold Florida! Bundled back into my winter coat, I waited for Dan to get the car with my teeth chattering! Granted, Florida was NOT freezing cold by 10-degree-below-zero snowdrift WV standards, but at 40 degrees in the sun, it Read more…
Cruising is nothing if not about “glamour”, and so these pix from our Royal Caribbean cruise on Freedom of Seas are all about livin’ the high life! As I wrote previously, cruising is truly the farthest you can get from reality and still be on Planet Earth, and, frankly, that’s what made Read more…
Two old adrenaine-junkies, having fun… We had a LOT of fun on our Royal Caribbean cruise on “Freedom of the Seas” that we booked with www.cheapcaribbean.com. These photos are proof of it, & everytime I look at them I’m filled with happiness. The best part was that Dan (63) & I Read more…
From Savannah, we drove down to Florida to met our Royal Caribbean ship, “Freedom of the Seas”, having a seafood lunch at a “Fish Camp” on the way. We stopped at a Marshall’s in Savannah, as I had a $100 gift card I’d won in a http://www.brickfish,com/ contest, and I badly needed a Read more…
We just got back! Refreshed, re-energized, and ready for the 8th season at the Elkhorn Inn! It all happened rather suddenly: we found a wonderful Inn-&-Puppy-&-Kitty-sitter who could take care of the Inn for 2 weeks in Feb. (Saint Terry), & so Elisse (me) began Tweeting franticallywith @CaribbeanJim from http://www.cheapcaribbean.com/, & Read more…
My tongue is hanging out and I’m exhausted. After weeks of licking my lips over the Burpee and Park’s seed catalogs, fantasizing over their color photos of Jumbo This and Giant That, dogearing the pages with my favorites, and then freezing up the computer with 25 pages (more color photos! OMG!) Read more…
Yesterday, in the midst of our newest snowstorm, I ran outside on the front porch as the Pocahontas passed the Elkhorn Inn and snapped pix thoughtout the day… even in the dusk… When I downloaded them, the “dusk” ones were totally black- you couldn’t see a THING! The flash on our Read more…
That banging sound you’ve been hearing is undoubtedly my head slamming against the wall. My computer finally crashed & burned last week, something it’s been threatening to do for awhile now, and this time it knocked me for a loop, disappearing (temporarily, I hope…) 8 years of business email addresses Read more…
