Having access to a free room, I tried to book for room 2003, the very corner room that together with Pieter I've stayed on December 9, 2023
just click on above link...
Had completed my appointment with Podology of Georgia and via Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's and Cobbler for retrieving my shoes with new heels, I ended here.
This particular room was not yet ready...
So while waiting on my room, they offered me a complimentary lunch at ONYX AT THE GRAND
Did thoroughly enjoy my SPRING WELLNESS BOWL!
Never had seen, nor tasted those yummy red Peruvian pearl peppers.
Fond memories with Pieter in this area...
The weather was very nice!
32°C or 89.6°F at 17:37 when I strolled through the Zen Garden to the pool area.
It has been the former Japanese Nikko Hotel.
Adjacent toilet and it is a corner room so lots of windows
Bathroom view with the special shelves that we did build into our Rose Suite as well.

Took this photo after I'd used the shower... shampooed my hair with the Balmain products.
My breakfast on the 31st as I was craving for smoked salmon
Opted for the Whole Wheat Bagel and it sure was yummy, though salty for my CKD...
It was a very special and also highly emotional stay for me!

Mariette, I can only imagine just HOW emotional that was. ❤️
ReplyDeleteYour meals looked yummy, especially the smoked salmon. It's hard to find some that isn't too salty, though of course it's easier when you're shopping, you can check the sodium content. However, that was a wonderful treat for you!
Dearest Kim,
DeleteYes, it was an emotional stay due to so many fond memories together!
The food is always good there and as much as I love smoked salmon, for my kidneys it sure was too salty.
Hugs,
Mariette
What a view from your high in the sky room! That blue blue sky to see, and the mountain so far off. I imagine the food was indeed yummy. Pieter would have been very glad you could be in the same room and see the sights you had shared before. Lynn and Precious
ReplyDeleteDearest Lynn and Precious,
DeleteNo doubt that Pieter was with me as he is always with me but this was very special.
The food has always been good and a wonderful presentation as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
A nice looking room with some nice views, I hope you could feel Pieter's presence as I am sure he is with you still
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteIt is a perfect room with great views.
Sure I felt Pieter's presence and he is indeed with me all the time—his soul is fused to mine.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, that had to be emotional but it looks like a lovely time with many lovely memories too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Terry,
DeleteIt sure was emotional but it is far more a feeling of gratitude.
My Pieter is watching over me till we meet again.
Hugs,
Mariette
The food and the view are fantastic from this vantage point, Mariette. I loved going to Stone Mountain as I grew up in Decatur. I know the visit must have been bittersweet, but sometimes, experiences like these can help us along in the grieving process. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog today, and know I'm praying for you. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteYes, such memories are indeed important for living through and for being even more grateful for the life we enjoyed together!
Hugs,
Mariette
That is a lovely room and views and I am glad you were able to stay there again. It must have been very emotional, but as you said, he is always with you.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jackie and Ivor,
DeleteYou are so right about that—Pieter is always with me for as long as I will breath!
Hugs,
Mariette
Very nice hotel, Mariette. And your Spring Wellness Bowl looks delicious, very healthy too. It's nice that you have sweet memories of your time spent here with Pieter.

Lots of special memories with my Pieter there.

Awesome view!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteIndeed from that height and with several corner windows we had a spectacular view!
Hugs,
Mariette
El alojamiento, está muy bien y tiene muy buenas vistas desde la ventana.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteAsí es, y los dos lo apreciamos desde esa habitación... ¡Hermosos recuerdos!
Abrazos,
Mariette
That must've been a very emotional stay for you.
ReplyDeleteDearest Melissa,
DeleteIt sure was but everywhere I go there are Pieter's footsteps and memories. Being grateful for my time with him is my driving force and knowing that he is watching over me!
Hugs,
Mariette
A vista é linda, a comida deve ter sido deliciosa,
ReplyDeletee as memórias, lembranças do seu adorado Pieter...
emocionante!
Uma feliz semana, querida Mariette!
Abraços! 🌹🙏🌷
Prezada Taís,
DeleteSim, tudo o que você mencionou é verdade e as memórias do meu amado Pieter superam muito.
Abraços,
Mariette
It must have been such a special experience to revisit those fond memories with Pieter, especially in that corner room.
ReplyDeleteThe complimentary lunch at ONYX sounds delightful.
The connection between your Rose Suite and the Grand Hyatt with those special shelves adds a lovely personal touch.
I can imagine how emotional it must have been for you.
Hugs and blessings, dearest Mariette
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteYes, it was a very special experience and Pieter's presence was oh so palpable!
That lunch was so delicious and yes, our Rose Suite is in a special way connected with this Grand Hyatt.
Hugs,
Mariette
Marietta...eye never get smoked salmon for brek fest....eye am kinda gel uz....glad ewe getted
ReplyDeletesum tho !!! ♥♥♥
mackerull boomer junior butter feeld =^..^=
Dearest Mackerull,
DeleteGuess it would be too salty for any kitty as well! It is delicious but that is a negative aspect of it.
Hugs also to your Mom Laura!
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewie schön sind die Erinnerungen an diese Zeit, die Du zusammen mit Deinem geliebten Pieter verbringen konntest.
Der herrlich frische Salat springt mir ins Auge... nein, natürlich nur virtuell in den Mund, er muss köstlich geschmeckt haben.
Liebe Grüße von Traudi.❤️
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteJa, bin sehr dankbar für zahlreiche Erinnerungen die wir zur zweit erleben möchten!
Der Salat war auch herrlich...
Ganz liebe Grüße,
Mariette
Dear Mariette, it's so great that you treated yourself to this wonderful stay.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what those little red vegetable pieces might be in your bowl. I had never heard of pearl peppers.
A hug for you and thank you very much for your beautiful photos.
Kind regards come to you from Viola
Dearest Viola,
DeleteYes, it was quite special for being back in that very room.
One learns every time about something new in the culinary spectrum but pearl peppers sure taste good.
Hugs,
Mariette
What a beautiful room and OMCs the lunch looks out of this world good and healthy
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
Dearest Cecilia,
DeleteYes, a very nice room with a great view and fondest memories...
Food is always exceptional at the Grand Hyatt!
Hugs,
Mariette
You are very welcomed for the card....keeping you and the kitties in my thoughts
DeleteHugs Cecilia
Dearest Cecilia,
DeleteThat is such a warm feeling!
Thanks a million 💞
Mooie herinneringen Mariette.
ReplyDeleteLiefs,
Hilly
Beste Hilly,
DeleteJazeker, héél mooie herinneringen!
Liefs,
Mariette
Wow, I love those views!
ReplyDeleteDearest Peter,
DeleteSo did both of us!
Hugs,
Mariette
I am happy you were able to enjoy this respite with your Pieter. It sure makes for some grand memories. The suite, the food, and the views were all spectacular! I must say you are a very healthy eater.
ReplyDeleteDearest Wendy,
DeleteYes, both of us enjoyed this very much and even solo I digest the fond memories and those will last me a long time to come!
Trying hard to eat healthy... the salmon was way too salty for my kidneys but I enjoyed it!
Hugs,
Mariette
So wonderful that you were able to stay in that special room 2003, bittersweet though it was! What a lovely room and view, with all those windows to enjoy! Your food made my mouth water, I'd love to taste those Peruvian peppers also! The salad looked so fresh and delightful, as did your salmon breakfast! What a treat for you in this difficult season of missing your precious husband! Prayers continue for you!
ReplyDeleteDearest Marilyn,
DeleteYes, it sure was a special but bittersweet experience. But all in all I'm grateful for a true love and for many years!
The food indeed was delicious.
Hugs,
Mariette
Indeed a wonderful stay and a grand one, with all those precious memories to savor as well as the delicious foods. Pieter must have been there with you, in sprit, enjoying your special time of remembrance,. What a beautiful room, and the views, too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get there and in that most special room.
Hugs and I hope your pain isn't too unbearable. Is there any hope of it dissipating eventually?? You are being prayed for, I know you can feel it, and that helps, too, doesn't it?
Dearest Ingrid,
DeleteYes, it sure was and Pieter is always with me...!
Up again because of the pain. Slept good 4 hours so far. Prayers are the best thing, thank you so much!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette...I loved seeing where you stayed again and I am also aware of the emotion you felt in the same room where you and dear Pieter had been before. I have had someone with me who passed away, on returning to their home, matter of fact. That would be my Father. He comes to mind even still and such vivid memories. Pieter is in your heart and mind forever more. And I will always remember him as well. The two of you were so welcome, and always delightful when visiting. Katie and I always and ever remember those visits. XX
ReplyDeleteDearest Katie Isabella and Mom Carole,
DeleteYes, those are emotional moments but it is for the memories that I live on.
Also so grateful for the two times we managed to visit you! Fond memories forever.
Hugs,
Mariette
And you ARE in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! 💞
DeleteI am glad that you got the good view.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteYes, it was good for being back where we both were...
Hugs,
Mariette
I have never stayed at this hotel. What a beautiful view! I wish when my husband had conf in Atlanta he could stay at hotels. Since we don't live more than 60 miles out, he never gets to stay in town unless we pay for it out of our own pockets. Yes, for sure wedding attire has changed. This generation is so casual.
ReplyDeleteDearest Kelleyn,
DeleteWell, you can do the same as what I do, using the Hyatt Visa card for free nights! It is a fabulous location.
As for this generation being so casual, don't think that is the case, it is more a lack of class. Things like holding hands in pockets as I see on so many photos.
Hugs,
Mariette
Uma ótima semana, querida Mariette!
ReplyDeleteAbraços, amiga!
Prezada Taís,
DeleteMuito obrigado e também o mesmo para você!
Abraços,
Mariette
Wie schön, dass ihr das noch gemeinsam erleben konntet. Perlpaprika kenne ich auch nicht. Ist er scharf oder mild?
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe weiterhin für Dich!
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteJa am 9. Dezember waren wir da gemeinsam.
Perlpaprika ist sehr mild.
Liebe Grüße,
Mariette
Thanks for stopping to comment on Dani and her family of origin. Awwwsome!
ReplyDeleteDearest Wendy,
DeleteIt was lovely to read about it and even more valuable to see her first images.
Hugs,
Mariette
Another beautiful memory with your Pieter. I'm sure to be happy time
ReplyDeletexoxo
Dearest Cristina,
DeleteEverywhere I look, turn or go there are ongoing beautiful memories of my Pieter. He remains with me till I join him again! Souls never die, he is next to me.
Hugs,
Mariette
