WPW: Wine time

Woman Power IconLucy,

Remember meeting Beth (front and center in photo) at D’Grande, the Tex-Mex Restaurant in Chiswick over the holidays. D’Grande (means Big D as in DALLAS) was opened by ex-pats Richard Burghardt and his wife Ashley, who found they missed their go-to comfort food. They couldn’t find good Tex-Mex anywhere in London, so they decided to open a restaurant.

Beth invited Mom to join the Richmond ex-pat Wine Club, a highlight of the New Year. They meet every ‘Woman Power Wednesday’ from 4PM until 6PM. It is a fun and diverse group and has provided a nice uptick in our social life in our new village, as our network in Richmond grows.

Hope your WPW is going well,

Dad

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
