• • 6 Comments

So, hello. I know. It’s been awhile. There’s a reason for that, which I’ll get to in this 500-word-or-less post. (A new goal.) Since the beginning of 2019, life’s been hard for a person I love. Mom. She fell in early February. Hurt herself terribly. A collision with her apartment floor gave her a broken nose, and on her right hip, a hematoma, cantaloupe-sized.

THE HOTEL DEL CORONADO AND THE INVITATION

• • 2 Comments

Our room was two floors about the umbrellas, three in from the bottom red roof.

My only visit to the Grand Old Dame by the Sea came in May of 1984 as a result of my husband having qualified to attend The Leaders Conference being held at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. The conference was a once-a-year celebration for highest sales achievers within the financial services industry. We were not quite twenty-six years old and had been married for four years. When I told a well-traveled friend that I was headed to the Hotel del Coronado, she said, “Juls, you’re going to love it. It’s an absolutely gorgeous old Victorian hotel. It’s an…
