Breakfast with Anthony

“you are my son, my moon and my stars” I have to say, having Anthony work from home during this trying time has been very nice. Since I’ve been recovering, he has done so much for me. He has been cooking, cleaning the dishes, and doing the laundry. The best time with him is in…

Easter Sunday

“kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see” – Mark Twain This past week has been very challenging for me, not only because of the social distancing from my family, but I’ve also been dealing with back pain. I have never experienced such pain. My heart goes out to…

Friday night take out

“we rise by lifting others” My day started with my morning walk with Anthony and Remy. The birds were chirping, and the sun was shining; a promise that the days will get better. Walks for me are very therapeutic. I clear my head and recharge for what the rest of the day will bring. These…

Sunday Morning Breakfast

“may your Sunday be filled with sunshine” Sunday mornings in my house are about preparing for Sunday dinner. This is a tradition I’ve enjoyed since I was a child.

Home Sweet Home

See you soon, Logan

“live for the moments you can’t put into words” For our last night in Florida, we decided to stay in and I would do the cooking. It is always bittersweet when I have to leave Logan. I wanted to make her something special. I made her shrimp scampi, garlic bread, and Logan’s favorite, cake batter…

Next Stop, Jupiter

“stay close to people who feel like sunshine” The morning started with Logan and I going for coffee and enjoying it outside. Spending quality time with Logan is priceless. It’s so hard when one of your children move away. When we got back to her apartment, we decided to sit by the pool and relax…

Ft Lauderdale

“travel not to escape life but for life not to escape you” Next stop – Ft. Lauderdale to visit Ronnie’s brother, Bobby. It’s always fun to see Bobby, he is such a hoot. We spent another relaxing day at the beach, Bobby made a delicious antipasto and Italian bread, perfect picky food by the beach….

A Perfect Day for the Beach

“let there be sunshine in your soul today” My favorite place to be is at the beach. When my children were younger, I took them most days in the summer. It was a place that they could run, scream, and play all day. Those days were the best! While I’m on vacation the beach is…
