Virtual Pizza Party

“every moment matters” The toughest part of the coronavirus pandemic is not being able to be with your loved ones. We are lucky that we live in a world that we are able to stay connected. Since we are still doing “take out Fridays,” Ronnie decided to surprise me with a virtual pizza party with…

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. I’ve been able to continue this tradition with my children, and they all look forward to it. However, these recent Sundays have been very hard on…

Sunday Dinner for Two

“make today amazing” Today is a very quiet Sunday. It will be only be Ronnie and me for dinner. We wanted today to be like any other Sunday. So when I got up I made a “gravy” with meatballs, and Ronnie prepared the garlic bread. For dessert, we kept it simple, banana splits. While the…

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…
