About Us

My name is Ernie Vallery. My wife is Viorica. We live in South Coast Massachusetts.

Originally I hail from Louisiana. LSU, Baton Rouge award me a B.A. in history and Loyola University School of Law, New Orleans a J.D. As an attorney and Louisiana Army National Guard soldier I have now retired.

My wife is a dual European citizen and an alumnus of Bologna University, Italy.

Pictures of flowers and plants we sprinkle throughout these pages and posts. We like such. Plus, they paint the site in lovely colors and elicit calm, pensive moods appropriate for our subject matter.

Sharing good food and conversation with guests is one of our delights.

Such is the point of this blog.
