My Favorite Things Flowers and Gifts – Impeccable Taste for the Discriminating Lady
Saturday, October 28th, 2006My Favorite Things is a fine gift boutique in Crestline, California, near Lake Arrowhead. I have had the pleasure of shopping here many times. They pride themselves in offering upscale, unique, and, in many cases, one of a kind items for the discriminating lady. Whenever I have a gift to buy for a female in my life, I go here first. (more…)

Eat Where The Local’s Eat – Breakfast at Goodys Restaurant Coffee at Starbucks, Rancho Mirage, California
Monday, October 23rd, 2006Our first morning in Palm Desert, we were starving! The timeshare resort we were staying at, Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas, did not serve breakfast. Neither did the Applebee’s down the street (they did, but not until 11 AM). We were directed to a “good locals” restaurant in a nearby shopping center, but couldn’t find that either. Happy coincidence had us stumble upon Goody’s – thank goodness! This turned out to be a great local’s spot (many were there). (more…)
The Living Desert, Unlike Anything I’ve Seen Before – Palm Desert, California
Monday, October 23rd, 2006
During our stay in Palm Desert, we decided to visit the Living Desert. A truly unique and interesting place. This location feels like a cross between a zoo and a wild animal park.

Plus, where else in Southern California can you spend the night in teepees, in the middle of a park that feels like you are in the plains of Africa? (more…)
