My husband knocked it out of the park with this flower delivery today. I’m in NYC and he’s in Miami so we celebrated my bday last weekend. This arrangement brought a big smile to my face, just like he always does. So thoughtful and kind. How lucky I am!
Celebrating my first birthday - thanks Dad! 54 years later, I can safely say my tastes have changed. #winelover
The #winestudio journey to #Cariñena continues tonight at 9 pm ET. There’s more #Garnacha and more detail about this fascinating region of Spain, courtesy of @lyn_wine and @winestudiotina. Join us on Twitter to learn more! #BodegasPaniza #Artigaza. #ViñasViejas
Happy #WineWednesday! This was my reward for getting up extra-early - a pink sky reflected in the bay. What greeted you this morning? #nature #floridalife #biscaynebay #miami #colormyworld
Remembering that day, 17 years ago; the day none of us will ever forget. The Freedom Tower stands tall, in memory of those who were lost and the invincible, true spirit of America. #9/11
Most of my balcony shots feature rainbows, sunny skies, and sapphire blue water. Today, thanks to Tropical Storm Gordon, this is my view. But I don’t mind. It’s a chance to spend a lazy, quiet day with my husband; we haven’t had too many of them over the past few months. My #mondaymotivation is to embrace the rainy day we were given, especially its beautiful silver lining. Welcome what’s special about your day - in whatever guise it takes. . . . #rainyday #floridalife #miami #lookonthebrightside #gratitude #quiet
