I have had a few sightings. The most recent was in NYC. DTwin and I crossed paths with Mikhail Baryshnikov. He was wearing a black trench coat.
Our area is home to several well known people during the summer months and a place to visit for others. Over the years I have seen Barbara Bel Geddes ( wearing a floral blouse, blue cardigan and a pearl necklace), John Travolta ( Ray Bans on the top of his head and a big smile.....sorry......I don’t remember his clothing ) and Robert Redford ( a plaid cotton shirt and jeans). His daughter went to college nearby). Martha Stewart is frequently seen at local markets when staying at her summer home. I have met a few Rockefellers and Astors at charity events. Years ago, DD waited on Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close ( not on the same night). There have been reported sightings of many others, but I have not personally seen them. I missed out on a Patrick Swazey sighting by just a few minutes. Drat.
I have been fortunate to meet several people who are well known for their businesses or their philanthropy and been invited to their homes, through the work that DH does for them. After summer cottages are built, or renovated, it is customary to have a “ thank you” celebration, inviting everyone who worked on the project to attend. I must say that every single person I have met at these functions has been incredibly kind, humble and gracious. One person gave an annual 4th of July event for years complete with food, bands, guest appearances and performances by recording artists and a fireworks show that rivaled Disney World’s.
My favorite visit was to the home of the owners of Campbell Soups and Godiva Chocolates. Lovely people and an equally lovely spread of food, including, of course, multiple tiered serving pieces filled with Godiva chocolates. It. Was. Heavenly. And filling........
