Fun Fun Fun

I am in my element. My Brother Paul and Lorena are getting married on Sunday at their new house. I am catering the event. It will be Italian all the way. I have help from Susan, Cara, Larry, Ian and others too. My sister Nancy is even getting involved from Virginia, she is having flowers for the tables sent up. My house smells so wonderful. We will take care of everything from flowers to all the food and the cake. This is going to be a wonderful week end. I will try to post pictures after the big event. My Mom would be proud of us all for making it such a special gathering.

All is well and life is good. My heart is swelled with love and pride for my family.

Pictures soon to come.

Tuesday 2/22/11

Morning,

I am so cold right now I swear I have no blood in me. Some days I just cannot warm up. I have on many layers and actually enjoy going out in the car to my clients so I can blast the heater in my car to get warmed.

Life otherwise is just great. Cara and Susan are in Cancun right now. They say it is 74 sunny hot and lovely. They are working on their tans and when I see them I will be very jealous. That is what is missing, baked in sunshine. I am happy for them both, they have had so much going on that this is a much deserved break for them. I am saving my vacation time to go to Washington in April for Cherry Blossom Time. We will be going by train and that is my favorite way to get there. We are going with some very good friends and I know we will have a blast. We are having fun planning more trips for the next few months. One being a return trip to Acadia in the Spring. We are hoping to make it to the Cape in the next month or two for a long week end getaway. That really helps break up the winter.

Family life is going well, everyone is fine. Work is a bit crazy, but to be expected at times.

So I hope you are all well, Wendy it was really nice to hear from you. Susan I got your letter, thanks. Has anyone been down by the old shop? They tore down the building that Hairplace One was in. The place looks odd to have it gone.

Gotta run to my next client.

Life is fun and easy without the long work load of having the shop. Larry and I put in a lot of hard hours to run it and in the end closing it brought us new life. Be happy for us.

Life Saturday Night

What a wonderful Day today was. I got to spend the day with Cara and Tim, we went to my Sister Susan's house for the afternoon and had a great time. Family is great. They are wonderful, it was and is good for the soul. We came back and got Larry and all went out to dinner in Brookline. We ate and had a great time. My Nephew is one of the managers and oh my goodness Jake is so handsome. What fun we had, we surprised him by showing up and it made me so happy to see him. I miss my brother Jimmy so much, I think of him often and his son is him all the way. Looks mannerisms all of it. I would like to say that my brother and I truly had a great relationship, and growing up with Jimmy and Bobby as my big brothers was the best experience any girl could have had. If it were not for them I would not have met or married Larry. I am getting off the train of thought I was on. Anyway, my Nephew Jake is handsome, wonderful charming, loving, endearing and has the most a heart of gold. He is married to a wonderful woman named Marie and I am so glad to say they now live close by. His sister Robyn and her husband Terry have a baby who they named after my brother Jimmy,and I love seeing the newest pictures of him posted online for us all to see. Dot you must be so proud of them all, I know I am.

I am glad the weather is getting better, we need more days of sunshine and warmth to melt more snow. This had been just crazy.

To my Sister Nancy in Virginia, Happy Birthday, I love you and miss having you local.

To Cara and Susan, have a wonderful time in Cancun, wish I had said yes long ago and were going with you two.

To my wonderful best friend and husband, Happy early Valentine's Day.

To name just a few of my quilting friends who stay in touch, thank you, that would be Susan, Dot, Wendy and many others. Too many right now to name. But thank yo for still being there for me and keeping in touch.

Have a great week end everyone.
