is a unique time of the year in our community. We believe, but sometimes the unbelievable happens. During a time of such joy, emotions and memories, life can bring tremendous hurt. In those tragedies that inevitably happen, Grosse Pointe stands at its tallest. When some of our families hurt, we all hurt. When some of our families cry, we all cry. No matter what you believe in, during this time, as well as all year round, we truly are ONE GP! We dedicate this Issue to all of those children that have left us too soon and to those families that need our love and support.

Finding a Home ‘Fur’ the Holidays LULU’S JOURNEY HOME 14

Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | December 2019

Q&A WITH DAN LALONDE

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO ADOPT LITTLE LULU? We had a dog named Cocoa who worked at our jewelry store for 11 years, and she passed away six months ago. We saw how much joy the little dog brought to our customers. The adoption center said that they might come across a dog and would we be interested if a dog came about. So little LuLu came about and my wife Cindy and I went and looked at her and we decided that she would be a good fit and she seems to be just perfect for the job. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH HER NAME? For years I lived in Honolulu, Hawaii and I always thought to myself that I would name an animal I had LuLu and I never had the chance and this was my chance. HOW HAS HER TRANSITION BEEN? She was a little gun shy when she first came. We’ve had her a few weeks now and she’s adjusted well. Every day my wife and I say she’s caught on to that now; she’s learned fast. So she seems to be adjusting real well! WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE GROSSE POINTE ANIMAL ADOPTION SOCIETY? They did a great job for us and they found the perfect fit for us! There is a home for everyone, so if you let them know what you’re looking for, they’re real adept at figuring out what you’re looking for and that this would be a good fit.

REBECCA KASSNER VERA’S DAUGHTER HOME Think out of the Christmas box this season... Use trimmed branches from your live tree to decorate your chandeliers. Add simply tied bows for extra pizazz. Small artificial glittered garland works great for a glam look. Have blue and white dishes? Try mixing traditional red napkins with it for a special Christmas table. Attach small preserved boxwood wreaths to the back of dining chairs with bows. Use beautiful unused soup tureens filled with fresh greens as your centerpiece. Have a canopy bed? Decorate it as we did in the store. Try adding length to your fireplace garland so that it reaches the floor on either side. Finally, come home to a touch of sparkle

REGENT SEVEN SEAS PROVIDES THE ULTIMATE VACATION EXPERIENCE

THOSE LOOKING FOR A LUXURIOUS, DON’ T-HAVE -TO -THINK-ABOU T-ATHING, TRAVEL-THE-WORLD VACATION FIND IT ALL WITH REGENT SEVEN SEAS, AN ALL-INCLUSIVE CRUISE LINE THAT OFFERS AN UNRIVALED EXPERIENCE TO LUXURY CRUISERS. Here, pampering and relaxation meld with the opportunity to see some of the world’s most popular destinations. With Regent, you’re taken care of from the moment your trip begins—round-trip, business-class air on intercontinental flights from the U.S. and Canada is included, and the comforts only continue from there. Think floating five-star hotel complete with marble bathrooms, exquisitely prepared food, unlimited wine and spirits, and beds so comfortable you may never want to get up. Oh, and Regent’s fleet includes only all-suite ships with balconies, and every trip includes unlimited shore excursions, unlimited WiFi and gratuities included. THE SHIP As I stepped aboard the Regent Seven Seas Voyager in Barcelona, Spain for a 10-day Aegean Adventures cruise (this itinerary included stops in Marseille, France; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Florence, Italy; Rome, Italy; Valetta, Malta; Santorini, Greece; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Athens, Greece), I Docking in Valetta, Malta

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and the high quality of everything, from the chinaware to the bed and mattresses in the suites, orchids in the suites” directed to my room, which included a vase of fresh orchids and a stocked mini-bar (let your cruise concierge know your beverage preferences ahead of time, and you’ll arrive to see it stocked with your favorites). The room itself included a walk-in closet, sitting area and bathroom with a tub. “We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and the high quality of everything, from the chinaware to the bed and mattresses in the suites, orchids in the suites—we get those fresh for every cruise. They come from Holland, and we replace all the orchids in all the suites and common areas,” says Anatoli Makaev, general manager. The Voyager features a theater with live nightly entertainment, a library, a Serene Spa & Wellness spa, a fitness center, several

restaurants, a dining room, a small casino, lounges, boutique shops, a card room, a pool and two whirlpools. Regent also presents guests lecturers on the cruise that tie into the ship’s itinerary. On my trip, Dr. Bruce Chadwick, who is known as “the world’s greatest professor,” gave history presentations. With just 700 guests and 447 crew members, there was an intimate feel, and the crew quickly learned my preferences, from knowing my preferred drink order when I lounged by the pool to greeting me by name around the ship. THE FOOD On Regent cruises, forget everything you’ve ever heard about cruise ship food. Here, it’s like dining at a five-star restaurant each meal. There is an attention to detail and quality to the food that is unrivaled by other lines. There are plenty of options for food, from breakfast in bed to a breakfast buffet or coffee and food at the Coffee Connection, lunch at the pool deck restaurant or in a dining room, afternoon tea and snacks, and dinner at either the dining room or the specialty restaurants—Prime 7 (a steakhouse), Sette Mari at La Veranda (Italian fare) or Chartreuse (a French restaurant). The dining room menu changes nightly, though it includes several options that are always on the menu including scallops, lobster, shrimp and various cuts of meat, including filet mignon. “Regent is famous not only for its food but the high quality of ingredients that are used,” Anatoli says. It’s easy to want to never leave. THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES Regent goes out of its way to celebrate its guests and to make sure they are comfortable. Forgot your reading glasses and can’t see the dining menu? A crew member will arrive with selection of glasses 26

for you to choose from. Relaxing by the pool? Crew members will pass by to clean your sunglasses or reading glasses—as well as to bring by cold towels or snacks such as fruit skewers or smoothies. When there are long days away from the ship—such as the day we spent 10 hours in Rome—we arrived back to musicians on the pier welcoming us with music, the crew lined up on a red carpet to welcome us back, and cold towels and champagne. THE ITINERARY Of course, many choose a cruise as a way to see many ports in one trip. I spent most of my days on land exploring different ports, and with Regent, all except the voluntary VIP tours are included. You can choose from the selection of offered tours or choose to explore a destination on your own. I chose Regent’s tours, which included taking an express train from the port of Civitavecchia into Rome, Italy, and a tour of Ephesus, Turkey, that included luxury coach transportation and guided tours through various ruins and historic sites—as well as a buffet lunch at a hotel. There were tours available for all interests, from a bike tour in Lucca, Italy, to cheese and wine tastings in Aix-en-Provence in France, and a cruise of the Valetta Harbor in Malta. It was wonderful to be able to see so many destinations during one trip and to relax when back on board. With the gentle breezes, the blue sea and the luxury of everything at my fingertips, Regent Seven Seas made it a perfect vacation. For more about Regent Seven Seas, visit RSSC.com.
