I hope winter is treating you well. I'm still in Uruguay, where it's just turning to fall. Recently my husband and I took a great trip three-and-a-half hours north from the beach town we live in and stayed at a small, wonderful ranch called Estancia Los Plantanos. Though we were [...]

I hope your new year is off to a fabulous start! I'm in Uruguay as you may have heard me mention—and this year my husband and I will be here until the end of March. Dinner at a friend's in Uruguay with my daughter Hayley A long time, I know, [...]
