Week in Review: Glad This One Is Over
This was a strange and horrible week. It’s good to see Boston back in business. If you’d like to donate some money to help the victims of the marathon bombing, here are two lists (with some overlap): Wicked Local Mashable Here’s what was on the blog this week: Monday: My safari adventures and, from later…
Creature Comforts
Let’s just look at the adorable African penguins of Simon’s Town, South Africa, today. Click to enlarge images from my visit to the Boulders penguin colony.
What Wendy Wore: Camouflage and Safari Gear in South Africa
It was hard to see this leopard in a tree while on safari at Thornybush Game Lodge in South Africa last week. The wild cat’s excellent camouflage made me wonder if FitzRoy the cat chose his favorite bowl for similar reasons of discretion. If it’s good enough for cats, it’s good enough for me! When…
Thornybush: More Fun Than a Pool Full of Monkeys
Our trip to South Africa comes to an end tomorrow. I’m sad to be going home — there’s still so much to see here. The highlight for me was the safari at Thornybush Game Lodge. MrB and I went on two late-afternoon drives and two early-morning drives. I’ve already posted photos of the two cheetahs…
If There’s a Blackout, Blame FitzRoy for Pulling the Plug
I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here. Gorgeous blogger/designer/stylist Stacy Lomman took this picture of FitzRoy the cat. I immediately saw a similarity to one of the best characters in one of the best movies of all time ……

Throwback Thursday: Polaroid, Sweatshirt and Puppy From 1982
Here’s a really old photo — a Polaroid, in fact — for Throwback Thursday. I had recently turned 14 in this picture from 1982. As you can tell from the name of my Shih Tzu puppy, my love for the Beatles was in full effect. (Even though Paul was my favorite Beatle, the dog was…
Throwback Thursday: 1996 Dress, Hair and Photobomb
I’ve always had a passion for cherry prints. I got a Louis Vuitton Cerise cherry-print bag in 2005 in part because it reminded me of a satin-y Cynthia Rowley cherry-print dress that I wore in 1996. I got the dress at a sample sale and I was so happy with it. I wore it with…
Another Interesting Sighting in Los Angeles
I almost forgot to report that Sam Waterston wasn’t the only interesting person I spotted in my hotel in Los Angeles last week. The first night we were there, MrB and I went to get a drink at the bar. I was excited to see a large white dog snoozing on the floor by a…
