“The artist is a receptacle
for emotions that come
from all over the place;
from the sky,
from a scrap of paper,
from a passing shape,
from a spider’s web.”
~ Pablo Picasso

Dining Outside the Home: Le Peep in Carmel, Indiana! There’s a lot to be said for a string of restaurants that originated in a converted gas station in Colorado over 40 years ago. They must be doing something right. And becoming a Hoosier tradition, in my opinion, is one reason to experience unique breakfast creations in your own back yard. The menu alone extends the option to eat breakfast any time of day. Gooey Bun. Dutch Apple Oatmeal. Pampered Eggs. The Great Reef Benedict. And don’t get me started on the coffees. When you come in with a smile and leave with a smile, is it any wonder their slogan is “It’s always a great day when you dine at Le Peep!”.
“You can fall in love
at first sight
with a place as

“I think people are more savvy
about cooking, food, and dining.
I notice they are looking for
more value for their money –
not in larger portions but
more in terms of healthier, fresh,
farm-to-table dishes with
nice presentation.”
~ Cat Cora
“Not what we have, but what we enjoy,
constitutes our abundance.”

Boston’s Theater District Brings Entertainment Up Close and Personal! If you appreciate any form of live entertainment, you can find it in Boston’s Theater District. The architecture alone is a marvel. Notice Greek Revival and Spanish Baroque-style as well as Italianate designs. One can almost get a crook in the neck from gazing upward at historical landmarks along Tremont and Washington Street. Around every corner is an opportunity to experience talent at its best. Marquees boast exclusive shows in addition to old favorites. Comedy shows? Absolutely. Broadway musicals? Of course. Opera? Indubitably. Dance? Without exception. When the mood strikes, take a walk in thriving downtown Boston. The choices for outstanding theater are endless.
Young and old alike may be drawn to Boston’s Public Garden for a treasured Swan Boat ride experience or to simply stroll along the breathtaking pathways to gaze at the ornamental landscape in awe. Bronze figures and animated statues add to its allure. Have you seen the infamous Duckling Sculpture of mama duck with eight baby ducklings trailing behind in military formation? Its story dates back to 1941. The evening we were drawn to the Public Garden, it became the perfect backdrop for high school prom attendees. The air was alive with lighthearted laughter, captivating dialogue, good-humored fun, and romantic love stories. We walked hand-in-hand crossing the beautiful arched bridge as the evening shadows cast a warm golden glow over the village green. Well done, Boston!
“Peace is the beauty of life.
It is sunshine.
It is the smile of a child,
the love of a mother,
the joy of a father,
the togetherness of a family.
It is the advancement of man,
the victory of a just cause,
the triumph of truth.”
~ Menachem Begin
