| :: August & September 2017:: |
| I needed to be in Tahoe the first week of September and so it worked out perfectly to come during Labor Day and meet Avalon in San Francisco beforehand. Av has been traveling a lot with his job as well so it worked out beautifully. We had so much fun Sept 1-4, 2017 San Francisco, California |
| We had our traditional lovely pre birthday weekend on the Riviera. Joe made me a silly overnight birthday case, he is so sweet Many shots of our last beach weekend of the summer - beautiful views, long runs and wonderful wine and food. Until next summer... Varrazze, Italy 26 & 27 August 2017 |
I love Grenoble. It is darling and has wonderful fondue 13 September 2017 Grenoble, France |
They are the best of my 50 years. I got to see ALL 3 of my boys within 24 hours of my birthday It was a bit more effort to be able to see Avalon but with thoughtful coordination we pulled it off Pavia, Italy San Francisco, USA 30 August 2017 Zaven starts his new university here in Milan the first week of October. He tried in the Netherlands. But the program wasn't challenging and his roommates were pigs. He wanted to come home and study in Italy and if you are going to study art there really isn't a better country to do so. I am secretly delighted. For me I am off to: Oslo, Norway London, England Sofia, Bulgaria Amsterdam, Netherlands Singapore Stockholm, Sweden ... |
| What an amazing honor. I love the Women's International Network (WIN) Conference and had the privilege to attend about 5 years ago in Rome. A few years ago I was asked to participate on a WIN panel here in Milan - Women in Business. I am thrilled to be facilitating a workshop on Growth Mindset and co project managing for HP. We will be 63 strong in attendance this year. #hpwin2017 |
| The every other year International Slow Food Cheese Festival of Bra Serole, Italy 15-17 September, 2017 Even though I was exhausted from all my travels and Joe is exhausted from his doctorate we couldn't miss the cheese festival! Amazing cheese and beautiful wine |
| A lovely weekend in Serole. It is my happy place. Especially in Autumn That is alright Figilily, I was almost done. The beautiful old Baci and I went to go visit Omar's tree. Doing great, I am confident it will winter just fine. |
| Caught up with one of my beloved colleagues Christopher. I am pretty happy that we really have weeded out clunkers and I can honestly say I love just about every colleague I meet and work with. Yay HP! It never gets easier. Saying good bye. Knowing there is an ocean and a continent and a half between us. But he will be home in December, Hurrah! On to Tahoe. The Resort at Squaw Creek was my office for the week. We did have some smoke roll in every now and then from all the wildfires but thankfully we had storms move through about once a day. I am so grateful that our events are held in such lovely venues around the world. September 4-8 2017 |
| I was so grateful to spend the night with the Hammonds in Rocklin. It had been a very hectic and stressful work week in Tahoe. I love Anne so much - my sporty spice do gooding friend. 8 September 2017 So with only one day at home between trips, only enough time to do some laundry and repack and I hit the road for Geneva & Grenoble Geneva, Switzerland 11-12 September 2017 Grenoble 13-14 September 2017 |
| After two weeks on the road I slept. Slept for 9 delicious hours and woke up in France. In a chateau. Am I dreaming? I have been coming to this hotel for 15 years. I love it even if it is haunted. Yes, it was a leper colony. Chateau de la Commanderie | Eybens, France |
