Matt Graduates, Ann Arbor, MI

We all fly out to Ann Arbour, filled with pride as Matt graduates University of Michigan. The weekend is filled with wonderful memories of terrific restaurants, a commencement speech by ABC newscaster Bob Woodruff and of course, the best was seeing Matt receive his Diploma.

Keeping up with our quest for the world's greatest hot dogs, we drove to Po'ipu on Kauai's South Shore to find Puka Dog. We were not disappointed! A big fat Polish sausage, encased in a special style hot dog bun fused with spicy jalapeno garlic lemon sauce & mango relish! Mmmm good! If you don't believe us check out their media reviews! Bon Appetit and Travel Channel concur with us!

Kauai, Hawaii

Tom & I escape from the cold of the Altantic Ocean for the warmth of the Pacific on Kauai, Hawaii for a few glorious weeks in February at Makai Farms, 10-acres of glorious Pardise on the North Shore. We enjoy picking our own oranges, key limes, coconuts, bananas, avocados and more!

Birthday Celebrations in Delray - January 2008

We take an extra day after the conference to celebrate Marley's 2nd Birthday and Tom's 56th in Delray Beach, Florida!

A Texas Weiner in Clifton

Tom & I can't resist a good hot dog joint so when we were near his boyhood home of Clifton, NJ, we had to make a U-turn and veer to Hot Grill. These deep fried dogs definitely give Rutt's a run for their money! And we definitely left stuffed!

Haze Retires from SIG

After working for 10 years at SIG in Philadelphia, my Mom retires to pursue her acting career full time. A farewell evening at CHOPS makes for a delicious ending!

Young Frankenstein and the Minks!

I was lucky enough to be the guest of Elaine (far right) and her friends for a NYC afternoon excursion which included visiting the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, a mouthwatering Ribeye at Del Frisco's and prime seats at Mel Brooks' Broadway musical Young Frankenstein.
