Author Elizabeth Letts talks about SFP on her website!

As most of you know, my husband runs a website for a community of writers which hosts semi-annual conferences in NYC. During their most recent conference I had the pleasure of speaking with published author Elizabeth Letts. Elizabeth is an extremely nice person and talented writer. She wrote The Eighty-Dollar Champion: Snowman, the Horse That Inspired a Nation and has a new book coming out in August.

Elizabeth and I talked about my job at SFP, we both LOVE senior citizens!, and as it turns out we both love animals - especially the need for animal rescue. Elizabeth wanted to write an article about my dog Romo and his rescue story. It's a wonderful story you need to check it out!

Father's Day Brunch

Chef Sue surely knows how to spoil the men at SFP!


She made scrambled eggs with fresh chives and sausage served with english muffins and garnished with pretty fruits!


Look at all the food!


Here are 'our' men enjoying the brunch:


We listened to oldies music, talked about our cars from long ago and even looked up the images on the Internet. We reminisced about those cars and the old days then the conversation turned to celebrity beauties! We brought their pictures up on the Internet and the men ogled their favorites.

It was a fun brunch and everyone left with a full-stomach and happy memories from the past.
