Last but not Least~Hot Toddy on Valentines~L'Elizabeth Providence





Or how about just the two of you, comfortably seated in a warm, cozy atmosphere. Great conversation & a nice hot drink?

L'Elizabeth located at 285 S. Main St. in Providence, is just this place. With this quiet and intimate atmosphere, one can't help but fall in love all over again.
Sweet, pure and simple! It's that easy......
Ask for a Chocolate Kiss, a specialty drink made from Godiva chocolate liqueur and topped with whipped cream. An international selection of coffees pays homage to many international countries.
Ceylon, England and China are honored through teas.

The Scene – If everyone took a favorite piece from their grandmother's living room and brought it to a centralized location, you'd have a good chance of recreating L'Elizabeth's interior. The comfy sofas, ceramic lamps and antique coffee tables blend to create a romantic atmosphere that dates back to an era older than its 1973 founding. With the average age of patrons hovering around 50, it's obvious that those who discovered this spot in their heyday keep coming back for more. The Draw? Drinks here are as traditional as the decor: bourbon, scotch, sherry, port & cognac!

Back to School I go!!!





Hi everyone,
My aplogies for being M.I.A.
I have been busy preparing, testing and finally got my results! I will be attending MASSAGE THERAPY School here in Rhode Island. One of the best in this field I might add. After a long hard road, many decisions and having the passion to finally get to do what I have always wanted and talked about for years, (16 years to be exact), I will become a student again. A working one at that.
My classes officially start Tuesday, so a Big SHOUT OUT to my Facebook Friends and my Family in support! If I am not on there as much as I used to be, I apologize. I will miss you! But, you will know where I am! Feel free to write on my Wall with any support you may want to throw my way, those of you who have done this, I'm sure know what I am taking on.
I will be taking Day Classes as I want to finish in 8 months. The evening program is a year and 1/2. Too long for Me. I am anxious to pursue this and start working.
Thank you for all your well wishes!!
This journey will be "new" and "intersting" to Me. Another labor of love that I can add to my already filled resume of experiences!
More importantly, I'm looking to make all my friends feel better and relieve the Stress from their Bodies, Mind, Soul and Hearts!

Sincerely,
Susan

"The Lion King" rolls back into Providence at the PPAC




February 1-20. There's no greater magic than this stage to be lit up by this amazing production!
I had the good fortune of seeing "The Lion King" the first time it was here. If you
haven't had the opportunity, well now's you chance!
I have been to Africa and what I found so amzing was the costumes and how the people brought the animals to life! Julie Taymor, a director and designer well known for mythical staging inspired by international theatrical forms brought this to life!
Simply amazing!
For Tickets:Call 421-ARTS for Tickets.
