Better Summer Sleep
It’s summer and you are enjoying all the daylight that allows you to get in that extra round of golf, bask at the pool, or putter in the garden. You are also putting forth a little more energy keeping the lawn mowed or playing with the kids who are out of school. Then why are you having difficulty sleeping? Read More.
July Birthstone: Ruby
The ruby is one of the most desired gemstone and is the symbol of July births. The word comes from the Lati ruber, or red. If it is very deep red, with just a bit of purple, jewelers will call this “pigeon’s blood”. The more chromium with the primary mineral corundum, the deeper the red. Interestingly corundum is clear and it is the ancillary materials that give it a specific color. Sapphires are also primarily corundum but different additives provide a different hue. Read more.
Bastille Day Menu
The Bastille in Paris was originally a fortress but later became a state prison that often housed political prisoners. However, in the summer of 1789 it was seldom used and was actually scheduled to be demolished. Since it was a symbol of Bourbon royalty, on July 14 of that year a mob attacked the facility demanding the munitions that were being housed there. It signaled the start of the French Revolution with the capture of the Bastille and the release of all seven prisoners. Read More.
