Audrey, Mary, or Jackie ?
Bricktops before the herds arrived, molto bene !This morning I had the utmost pleasure sharing a delicious "brunch" with my dear clients (who turned into dear friends) at this local place (actually it's a chain) called Bricktops...It was a lot of fun, and we discussed a broad range of topics briskly while sipping bellinis and bloody marys, and noshing on smoked salmon flatbread, eggs benedict and other goodies. Here we are having the time of our lives... I look forward to our next get together soon. If only Billy could have joined us ! My other client/friend also called Mary, has a brother who is the CEO of Design Within Reach, and his company is donating 25,000 dollars to the Haitian Relief Fund through Unicef...We can only hope and pray that this disaster is somewhat mitigated by all of the effort and monies headed in that direction. I remember my dear housekeeper, Marie Rosie Claire, from Haiti, and what a sweet and loving woman she was. She was like a song that Eartha Kitt sang at the Cafe' Carlyle called "Push The Button" about a maid who learned that the way to get things done was simply by pushing different buttons on machines, appliances, and elevators...Billy and I were so fortunate to see Eartha perform here in Naples just before she died. What a fabulous chanteuse she was ! DF*****
