Hubby Highlight

The highlight of my Monday morning was waking up to a bright and beautiful sunny summer day, starting my 4-day work (and looking forward to enjoying 4-day work weeks for the rest of the summer), and a simple text from my hubby.

The text message said...


good morning babe have a good day love u



...and just like that, I fell in love all over again!

Father's Day in Heaven

Happy Father's Day to my Dad.

The special memories I carry with me...

The summer we went to Nantuket and Martha's Vineyard.
Daddy's corvette.
His math skills.
His signature.
Tatoos.
His amazing giving to others.
Tow Trucks.
Charlie's Flatbed Service.
Nextel phones.
Jokes, funny ones.
Laps in the pool.
"Moe".
The car show in Atlantic City Valentine's weekend.
Riverhead Raceway.
Ice cream man.
Banana barge.
Longshore block parties.

Just to name a few. Needless to say, my dad was a great guy. He is surely missed. xo

Summer Lovin'

What are you looking forward to this summer...?

Me?

Well, I am looking forward to enjoying the simplicity of life. Taking in the bright, sunny days with sand in my toes and the smell of the ocean. I love going to the beach in the summer. I actually consider it a luxury living on Long Island so close to the beaches. Growing up five minutes from Robert Moses was truly a great thing! Packing a light lunch that includes a few hard-boiled eggs, a P.B. and J sandwich on fresh bread, and a piece of fruit sounds simple and perfect for a nice beach day. Pack the sunblock, my beach hat and sunglasses, a good book (or a few magazines) and a great, comfy beach chair and I'm set.


Other fun things to look forward to this summer include: mango Italian ices, a new nephew (due out in early August), Fridays off, my friends wedding (congratulations Michele and Al), singing karaoke, eating hot dogs, and enjoying chilly summer nights on the deck with my hubby and a glass of delicious Long Island wine. And that is just to name a few great things to look forward to.



Happy Summer!
