How many times can one person watch the movie "Top Gun" without getting bored?
R is at a basketball game with the boys tonight, and I wanted to stay home and make my filet mignon with a mustard reduction sauce (another story), so thought I would bring out a bit of Tom Cruise.
Brilliant - if it wasn't for the "love scene with Kelly McGillis" (boring), this would be the best movie of all time.

Richmond = Aruba ??
Richmond, Virginia….. Y’ALL
Over this past ‘President’s Day’ long weekend, R & I decided to take a trip way,way down South to visit our 4 great friends who live in Richmond. Well what a blast it turned out to be! These Southerners certainly know how to have fun.
We ended up at a Church charity auction (yes, me in a church... at a charity auction no less?). Sipping Chardonnay in the front pew – who knew? Consuming fabulous hor’s doevres, and watching all the Southern Belles in their finery, and coiffed hair. These people are the least churchy people we’ve ever met, that’s for sure.
Soooo….. R and I managed to bid successfully on a week vacation in Aruba in the Caribbean; a silver candelabra; antique silver knives (they’re for you Mum), and some covered antique tureen thing that R got excited about just because he wanted to wave his auction number at some point during the night….. it might grow on us later!
Then on Sunday night the six of us went to a fabulous area called Carytown for dinner at a French restaurant called ‘Can Can’. Link below:

On the way home to New York this morning, we stopped at George Washington’s estate/plantation at Mount Vernon, Virginia, which was just great.
We just arrived home late tonight, so of course I’m on the Aruba websites doing reconnaissance.
Woo Hoo – Aruba – March 25 – April 1. Anyone want to join us?? It seems super-deluxe.
Best I get back on that diet, treadmill, and the tanning salon!

My Dad's Logie
Polished this little baby for the first time in years - thought the photo was 'blog-worthy'... comes up a treat, definitely deserves to be in the pool-room.
