Breast Cancer Bake Sale

The Shore Memorial Bake Sale was a huge hit once again this year. So many delicious items for sale and I was happy to assist my Sister in Law and put my creativity with baking to work...Supporting such a wonderful cause this month was great!

He is back!

After months of recovering from a broken hand, my son is back to his life, the way it was. Gratitude and prayer that he will be fine, enjoy the waves and work. He needs to stay busy and the journey this summer has taught us alot. We enjoy being together, we can get through anything and the support and love from his brother, sister,family and friends have helped us tremendously. Blessings...

Broadway craving!

Every few months I long for a play. The perfect seat, company and show are all I need to round out a great day. My son and I recently saw "Million Dollar Quartet".It was a true story based on the 4 famous guys, Elvis, Carl, Jerry Lee and Johnny. The talent was phenomenal, music was spectacular and being with my boy-the best...Enjoy this wonderful show and loads of talent with someone you love.
