Loving November

The first item on my list is that Stylish Heath is 11 years old …… can you believe it? The month of November is where it all started, as it’s such a creative month. I remember sitting at the kitchen table discussing recipes with mom and designing menus for the upcoming holidays. Also, that Thanksgiving Sean, Tony and I were traveling to Dubai [for my first time] and I couldn’t wait to post reviews and posts on the culture, spices, souks and the engaging people. Blogging has been a wonderful venue for creative expression, and can safely state I’ll be blogging another 11 years, and then another and another!!!

Spending time with the two newest members of our family [my niece and nephew] is the best way to celebrate the holidays. Aria and Eli are the most amusing and loveable duo……ever! I love how they look out for one another, and their relationship reminds me of the time spent with my siblings years ago. I can’t wait to see them in a few weeks!!!

I’ve been on a soup kick lately and can’t seem to get enough. For lunch or dinner, I want the pork and shrimp bowl from my friend Quy’s recipe file or the French Onion version from a bistro on my last trip to Paris.

While on morning walks during the fall there are opportunity’s to take the most beautiful photos. The mist coming through the trees with sunlight from behind gives an ethereal quality.

Stay stylish,
Kathleen

Cruising for a Cause

After our return from Europe and the Middle East I began drafting several posts for Stylish Heath. One was written on October 5th highlighting our cruise on Royal Caribbeans’ ship “Rhapsody of the Sea” to sail the Mediterranean to Greece from Haifa. But, two days later war was declared in Israel and the post would have been in poor taste to publish.

Last week Tony sent an Instagram notice stating that U.S. commercial carriers had suspended flights in and out of Tel Aviv. American Airlines and Delta Air would suspend all flights for the next few months to and from Israel, while United has suspended flights indefinitely.

With a scarcity of flights, there are still hundreds of Americans trying to return to home. According to the article the State Department requested the assistance of Royal Caribbean’s “Rhapsody of the Seas” since it was at the Port of Haifa to sail families to Cyprus. From here they will arrange their own accommodation to the U.S.

This is what I would call cruising for a cause and an extremely good one I may add!!!
