Next door (adjacent by 100s of acres) is the rather infamous Mt Weather facility - a once top secret facility. Purportedly the location the POTUS would be spirited to should the threat to DC be so severe. Liz won numerous awards with her horses % HOF'er Charlie Whittingham ran her California stable

Liz, a beauty of the roaring 20's, would be a truly significant race horse owner & breeder. She also invited the most noted TB jockey ever, Eddie Arcaro, to try jumps at the estate🤪 It had been 4,000 acres under Liz but shrank by a quarter the time she died Oct 30, 1988. vault.si.com/vault/1958/0...

I’m not sure I’d want to see an American Blue Heeler mix with ‘wiings’ ☺️. The assorted Halloween decor does little to rattle Portofino. (From our morning walk routine here in Lincoln Park)

This was our nice cottage rented for five days on the edge of Amboise, France. We had a catered chef one night, ordered in via uber eats (yes) another & went out for two dinners in Amboise.

Some of the scenes from the Lorie Valley 🇫🇷first 1/2 half of our trip as home-base was Amboise. Leonardo da Vinci is buried in the Chapel of St. Hubert, on the grounds of the Château Royal d'Amboise

A mentally ill woman who should not be in public office. Her crusade with bathrooms is just bizarre as was her trip in pjs. It’s not ‘tongue in cheek’ funny, it’s unbecoming of the office.
