Today we visited the home of Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz on Key Biscayne. They are two of the top art collectors in the U.S. Their home is one big art gallery. They also own a separate art museum to house their collections. You can read all about them here.
The Exit Interview That Speaks Volumes
I wish I could share the “Audible link” to this interview with you because Obama really spells out what it’s like to be President of the United States. I wanted you to hear his voice. You’ll just have to read it in.print as he talks about “his ambitions, frustrations, and the decisions that still haunt him.”

I Can’t Explain Why……
I saw these posters on social media several times this week and wanted to share them with you because many seniors have trouble sleeping. Over the years, several friends told me they got a better night’s sleep if they felt like they had a security blanket on them. Check with your doctor. It works for me.
These posters were captured off of a slide show. If I can find the source, I will let you know. Weighted blankets are sort of like chicken soup. It works wonders for some.

Stabbings At Ohio State Hit Home
My family is so grateful to my cousin Vicki Morman for notififying us on social media about the status of her nephew Justin Young who attends Ohio State University. By now, you all heard about the stabbings on the campus of Ohio State University. Thank goodness Justin was safe inside his frat house at the time of the incident. Amen!

Buying A Ferrari On-The-Spot
This epitomizes our week in Los Angeles. I just witnessed, a young guy, buying a Ferrari for cash, right from my hotel window at the Mondrian. I checked with valet. This was not a rental, but a cash transaction with witnesses to inspect the interior, exterior, and paper work. The staff says this is not uncommon here. Lucky girl friend sitting on ledge, swinging her dancing legs. DigiDame captured rare sighting.
Long Live 301
Our hotel room number was 301 at The Mondrian in Los Angeles. This is extremely significant since it was our address for 40 years in Manhattan. 301 East 62nd St. We loved it. Our lucky number.

The Future Of Jewelry
My daughter Whitney, and her boyfriend Fredrick, presented me with a birthday present that was a perfect DigiDame gift. I’m now the proud owner of a Marchesa Amphora necklace that was made on a 3D printer.
You can read all about it below. I am thrilled that I am one of the first women to own a piece of precious metal that was manufactured on a 3D printer. I find it very exciting that they thought enough of me to make sure I was at the forefront of something that I believe in so much.
Thank you Whitney, and thank you Fredrick.
