The election came and went. Before the election, the word “Tea Party” could be heard on televisions throughout the country and people quickly scampered to be on one party’s side or the other. When the election was over, the word tea party or Romney fell to the side and was never mentioned again. Why? Because […]
Monday, November 26th, 2012One of the hardest things I had to do………..
I got the call that you were sick and to come quick. “Come quick,” rings through my mind almost everyday since. What if I was quicker? Or what if I hadn’t gone at all? Somehow I think that neither would change the amount of sadness I feel now. When I saw you lying there and […]

Monday, November 19th, 2012Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I like the feeling in the air, the non-rushed holiday feeling and of course all the great food. This weekend I had the opportunity to help some people and although I was helping them, it really helped me more. I feel so blessed and loved. Praying that you all feel […]
Friday, November 16th, 2012Gorgeous bedding
Everyone loves Anthropologie bedspreads, quilts and comforters. Usually the rouching in the fabric makes it look flowy and we love that. The Rossette bedding is beautiful.

Dear Mike S – we saw you in the mall today with your wife. It’s been many years since I have seen you. The bald spot on your head shined from the mall lights. And I came home and thought about all the stupid things we did as teens. So I picked up the phone […]
Sunday, November 4th, 2012Things Can be Replaced
We were in Staten Island today helping a friend of a friend. I was glad I was there because I wanted to help, but I really just wish the storm never came and hurt so many people. Everything has to be thrown away and they will need to start over again. I feel drained today […]

Thursday, November 1st, 2012Devastation Around Brooklyn
Trees down here – this is nothing – compared to the devastation people are feeling in Brooklyn/Queens and Staten Island. I live in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn just two blocks away from the water.
