Diane and her rescue dog Trevor, a Yorkie mix, live on the top floor of this 1935 tudor style walk up.  There is an European flair, an ease and comfort to the way they live.  Flying regular routes to Paris, speaking 3 different languages, and her long career with American Airlines has given me insight into her wonderful life as a worldly traveler.  

No elevators in this building!  "Great exercise", as Diane says.

Simple, yet elegant living.  Leisurely coffee in the morning, great conversation and life is easy.

Scattered around Diane's apartment are pictures of family and friends, hand written notes, inspirational messages and thoughts to ponder.   This hand written sheath of binder paper captured my eye, my thoughts and my camera. 

The cutest apartment ever!  Such style and grace.

An old friend, long conversations, red wine, laughter, reminiscing, and a crude de te.   Who needs anything more? 

Thank you for your warm and generous hospitality! I'm looking forward to Tennessee.
