Odds 'n Ends...
Now that I am FINALLY home and things are coming together nicely in the great Chez Vel-DuRay renovation, I have some TGTC housekeeping items to attend to:
1.) The Hotel Nikko in San Francisco is once again safe for people of taste and breeding to visit. The problem was actually sort of my fault, but the reaction of the hotel was - at first - extremely vulgar. (Short version: Pre-paid reservation, called to tell them of late arrival, arrived late, they wouldn't honor reservation) After a stern, but polite letter of complaint, I received not only a letter of apology but a credit for the entire stay. So they are redeemed in the eyes of the tasteful. Go take a lovely trip to San Francisco, and stay at the Nikko.
2.) Many of you have asked about my crush on the Butcher at the Hy-Vee. His name was Cole, and he was lovely: Tall, with dark eyes, a wonderful goatee, and such strong hands!!! Alas, every time I approached the butcher counter, I was always waited on by one of the more boring butchers, but at least I could feast my eyes on him. As a result of my obsession, Mother Vel-DuRay now has a freezer full of steaks, so it was really a win/win situation!!
That's all for now. Please carry on.
Confidential to Sylvia: Thanks for stopping by last night darling! Love the Betty Furness Thermometer Set!!!

Had a very lovely time. I'll try to not stay away for so long now that I've got this huge car to cruise over in.
