A fabulous menu for entertaining featuring Chateaubriand and all the trimmings!

Something to entice you to take a closer look at the history of our beautiful area!

My Dad is 85 today.

I have always been a “Daddy’s Girl”….always.  I wish we were a family who took more pictures because there would be plenty of the two of us.

Sweet Sixteen

I have to be satisfied with pictures taken now, mostly that I take and mostly of my Dad with my daughter and my Mom.

I am what I am today because of my Dad.  He has always been a shining light in my life, ready to help out in any way, to make a difference or just to sit and listen.   My Dad is an amazing man who reached the top of his career, traveled all over the world and shared his faith with people of all religions.

Here’s to you Dad!  You are greatly loved!  Happy, Happy Birthday!
