Good Morning, Everyone. Coffee is ready. Come join me. The morning is filled with bird chatter. I mowed the lawn yesterday, so the yard looks like a carpet of dabbled green. My husband, Matt, finished up the flower planting, the roses are budding, and the foxgloves suddenly appeared. Color is returning. It is just in… Continue reading #Weekend Coffee Share-June 9, 2018
I was honored to be invited and participate in the Long Island 2 Day Expo. The West Islip Fire House's hall buzzed with sponsors, walking teams, and fun swag for the walkers. I was given a table to display my book, Hug Everyone You Know, and share my story. Five dollars for each book sold was… Continue reading Long Island 2 Day
Good Morning. I have neglected the Weekend Coffee Share for two weeks. I can claim that I am busy, but I am always busy. It is not an excuse to not write a Weekend Coffee Share or anything else. If we were having coffee together this morning, I would have to share an airport cup… Continue reading #Weekend Coffee Share-June 2, 2018

Proms have evolved over the years. Decorating the school gymnasium has been replaced by booking a brave restaurant venue. A one-man DJ substitutes for the local band and limos and coach buses line up to transport the youths instead of a mom’s minivan. A few things have not changed, though. There is always the excitement… Continue reading A Prom Story Part One

Good Morning, Everyone If we were having coffee together, I’d report that it is pouring rain. I have to cancel an Arboretum stroll with my mom this morning. We will catch up on Mother’s Day festivities tomorrow with my sisters’ and brother’s families. I am so happy that one of my daughters will be… Continue reading #Weekend Coffee Share-May 12, 2018
Going to Fritzsche’s meant picking up rolls for sandwiches, cake for an occasion, and a cookie for the road. It was THE bakery in Sayville and, during my childhood, the only real bakery for miles around. Fritzsche’s was located on Main Street, Sayville. The storefront windows were decorated with seasonal cakes and pastries to lure… Continue reading Fritzsche’s Bakery

Usually, my attention span to daily tasks that do not impact anyone but myself tends to be short-lived. Therefore, diets and exercise routines easily fall away. This success was a big boost to… Continue reading Blogging A-Z Reflections
