A Boating Adventure on the Baja Coast
Hello dear friends! I returned late Wednesday night from an adventure I’ll never forget! My younger brother…my only brother…invited his four sisters to join him on a boating caravan, more than six months ago. I was amazed and happy, when all four sisters accepted his generous invitation to travel from San Diego, stopping in Ensenada,…

My four siblings, a brother and three sisters are just now leaving for a 16 day voyage along the Baja coast, to Cabo San Lucas and then back north, up the eastern coastline. We’ve planned this trip on my brother’s boat for months! I’ll be out of communication while gone, so stay safe and be…
Read MoreFind Serenity on NYC’s High Line
New York is the heartland of “hurry up and wait”! If you want a break from it all on your next visit to Manhattan, I highly recommend walking the High Line. On what was for years a raised train track, is now a lovely 2 mile stretch of green grasses, trees and a well-traveled walking…
Read MoreRetail Therapy in the Meat Packing District, NYC
I found one of the most beautiful women’s boutiques today, in the Meat Packing District of Manhattan. While this area is it seems the “go-to” place for high end clothing and accessories, Charles Nolan is the most gorgeous of all. Trust me, when I say the pictures don’t do it justice! The shop also comes…
Read MoreDining “Love” in Gramercy Park
We returned to one of my many favorite neighborhoods in New York today, Gramercy Park, which is located around 20th Street and 5th Avenue. There seems to be an abundance of interior design related businesses in the area, from plumbing and lighting, to gorgeous tile and home furnishings. I stumbled on to a wonderful store,…
Read MoreDr. Oz and Thrifting in NYC
The great thing about being in New York, is just being here. Does that make sense? Hope so! This morning, bright and early, we headed over to the Rockefeller Center, to watch the Dr. Oz show. We’re not talking major “star power” here, but he’s warm and engaged in the audience and just watching the…
Read MoreWhen I Was At “The Met”…
Even though I’ve been to NYC a half dozen times in recent years, I had never been to the beautiful Metropolitan Museum of Art. As the largest art museum in the western hemisphere, this is a place that requires some time in your day, but it’s well worth it! Where else in the world can…
Read MoreUnion Station, a D.C. Architectural Landmark
I hope you enjoy architectural history as much as I do, because today we’re taking a quick peek at Union Station, in Washington D.C. This morning, we took the train from D.C. To NYC, which by the way, is a great travel option. I had never been to Union Station, and was in awe of…

Hello friends! Bob, Mr. Wonderful and I “won” a 2-night stay in Washington D.C., at a recent fundraiser and enjoyed lunch with our Congressman, Dan Lungren, in the Member’s dining room today. Lunch was followed by a stellar tour of the Capitol and Congressional Library. In fact, we were able to climb the steps within…
Read MoreA Grand Opening And The Month Ahead
October is always a big month around The Treasured Home, because it’s dedicated to me and my birthday! Hold the applause…it’s a couple of weeks away, but of course, a girl has to plan! It’s also the weekend we usually spend in San Francisco for the Navy’s Fleet Week. Mr. Wonderful and his Office Manager,…
Read MoreAnnie’s Home & Garden
I visited a friend’s amazingly unique home and garden today and asked if it would be all right if I took pictures for my blog. She said fine, as long as I kept it anonymous. So, respecting her wishes, I have re-named her Annie, short for Anonymous. Annie is a World Traveler (capitalized because it…
