Decisions
Andria Rucker
Friday, March 12th, 2010
Do you too find it difficult to make a decision?

For me it is agony and yet after a wonderful life, the result of many a difficult decision making crisis, surely I should know better.

I should have learned that it is not the decision, but how I live by that decision and I how let it shape my life.

Karla Barber
Monday, February 1st, 2010
Have you ever lost your passport or discovered it had expired days before your trip departure? Don’t panic, I have some good news – you can get a replacement passport easily and painlessly if you live in Dallas or any other city with a Federal Passport Office (see: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_4312.html for a map of locations).

The LBD In Analysis
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
If you're always the last one standing at baggage claim waiting for giant bags that require a stevedore to lift, you need help from the little black dress. Packing for the long trip does not require steamer trunks with the packing space of a New York apartment closet.

Day 24 - The LBD That Could
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Yesterday we drove to Dijon. Had a fabulous lunch at La Maison Milliere, a small cafe in a fifteenth century building just behind the Eglise Notre Dame. This was perfect because the famous owl of Dijon, La Chouett, is on that church's north wall. Legend has it that rubbing the owl's stomach with your left hand brings luck and makes your wish come true.

Day 23 - The Little Black Dress In Burgundy
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
We're staying in Le Richebourg Hotel & Spa just outside Nuit Saint George. It's a very nice place with huge rooms and comfy beds. We're finding that while traveling in early January comes with a few issues, there are some definite advantages.

Day 22 - The Essence Of the LBD
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
Today we drove through the lovely towns and villages of the Rhone Valley and into Burgundy. Everything was covered in snow until we reached Macon and then there was nothing at all. It didn't diminish slowly--there was a lot of snow and then none at all.

Travel is becoming an increasingly popular gift. Whether for graduation, anniversary or birthday, a ticket to a special destination is certain to please. And when that ticket is for a culinary and wine extravaganza in Italy, it's a sure fire way to thrill the gourmand who loves Tuscan vintages.

Day 21 - The Art of the LBD

Dropping off Alex and Erin meant dropping off the monster van. We were sorry to see the kids go, but the relief of seeing the end of that van almost made up for it.

A Picture-book of South Africa
Bettye Jennings Wieczorek
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
I retired four months ago after twenty years working for the government. I loved my job, but it kept me from traveling as much as I really wanted to. My husband, Bob, and I discussed all the places we wanted to go when I was free to travel, and South Africa was our first choice.

Day 20- Dining Out In Style In the LBD

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
The last full day for Alex and Erin to be with us. We had big plans. Got up early and went to the Saturday morning market. We checked out all the cool stuff they had for sale.

Day 19 - Sur La Pont D'Avignon

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Fabulous day touring Avignon. We visited the Pope's Palace and learned more than anyone ever really needs to know about the popes in exile. We had coffee with the truckers in a shady little cafe off the square. Then we went to see the bridge.

Day 18 - It's A New Year For The LBD
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This morning early I went over to put money in the car parking meter. As I walked through the town, shops were opening, people were beginning to move around, and it reminded me of the town in Chocolat. We're in the old town which is quaint and small, but it's surrounded by a larger new town with real roads and lots less charm.

Day 17 - Road trip in the LBD

We left Nice and Cagnes Sur Mer today and headed west. We started out on the scenic route only to find ourselves up in the hills with roads so tortured that hairpin is too straight to describe them.

Day 16 - Nice is Nice in an LBD
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
We spent the day in Nice. Overcast and cooler than the forecast, it never rained and we had a great time. In the photos the sea and water look very much the same shade, but there's so much beautiful color in the ocean that in person, the difference was clearer.

Day 15 - The LBD Is A Good Gamble
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Monday, December 28th, 2009

We went to Monaco today and toured around town. The skies were overcast, but the sea was a beautiful blue-green and we managed to miss the rain. Today was the ultimate LBD success--for walking the town, I wore a burgundy cashmere sweater and scarf over the LBD with tights and boots. For going to the casino, I changed into a fur-collared black sweater, added a great jeweled necklace and I looked amazing.

Day 14 - La Petite Robe Noire
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Our trip from JFK to Nice took all day, but it was worth the journey. After all the weather forecasts we'd been watching for weeks featuring rain and chill temps on the coast, we arrived to full sunshine and mid-sixties temperatures. There are five of us traveling and I rented a large vehicle to hold us and our luggage. When we arrived at the rental place, all they had left was a scraped up 8 passenger van.

Day 13 - The Terminal with the LBD

Saturday, December 26th, 2009
Our last day in New York was warmer, but the rain was steady. We left early for the airport thinking the combination of holiday traffic and the latest airline security issues would require extra time.

Day 12 - The LBD Rides the Rails
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Saturday, December 26th, 2009
The subway cars were uncharacteristically empty today as we traveled to the grandparent's home in the Bronx. We had a wonderful visit with relatives, a delicious meal, and fun gift exchange. For the heat encountered in New York apartments, the LBD was the perfect choice. I wore it with a purple sweater--which I removed, slouch boots, my pearl necklace, and my gold belt. It was a lovely Christmas day.

Day 11 - The LBD Marches On
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Friday, December 25th, 2009
Today wasn't quite so cold as it has been, but I was glad I wore my warm green sweater. It's a terrific layering piece and works well with the LBD. Tights, boots and a pearl necklace finished off a look that went from early morning errands to lunch, and shopping.

Day 10 - No Bridge Too Far For The LBD
Judy Dedmon Coyle
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
My husband and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge this morning. And yes, it was very cold. The wind whipped fiercely when we got about halfway between Brooklyn and Manhattan, but the sky was deep blue and the air fresh. The crowds weren't so bad on the bridge, but by late afternoon, the city streets were jammed with shoppers. Every intersection I went through, no matter where I was in the city, seemed like Times Square at show time.
