Big Birthday Month, April. Vivian (3rd), John (18th), my aunt Marge (19th), John’s bro Tom (20th), my friend Michelle (23rd), my cousin Michael and Nathan (29th). Wild! What with the Bat Mitzvah weekend, we haven’t done much birthday planning around here. Time to snap to it! Happily had ribs, cabbage salad, and cherry tart for…

A visit from Cooper and Stacey today! He did a fabulous job – slept, looked around, ate, cried (just a little), let Nathan, John, and me hold him. Baby heaven. Sighs, snorts, grunts, burps, farts – all of it is adorable. Stacey looks beautiful, of course, and is as happy as can be. Coop debuted…

Cardinals, robins, chickadees, singing away – la, la, love it! Glorious weather these last few days, we could not have been luckier. Our weekend is over, the Levys have gone back to NYC, John’s back at work. Nathan is on spring break, spending the day with his Grammy Barb. Everyone is settling back into normal….

Voila! I got a little cranky last night, needed some space, went downstairs and pounded nails, squatted down, stood up, climbed a chair, back down, over and over again, worked up a good sweat, had a huge creative rush, and…Finished.

Thank you, Suz, for helping me make appetizers today! Woo hoo for friends helping out! The time flew by, of course, as we chatted. Sullivan played by himself, he’s so adorable. We got them all done, what a nice way to wrap up one big item on my to-do list! We made – and froze…

It is most definitely a soup day. Wet, chilly, dreary. Smells divine, however, I opened the front door and was hit in the face (nose) with the smell of spring, yummy. So I’m not making a heavy soup, but instead a recipe I think I made up last summer (or the summer before) and titled…

B..a..r..e..l..y got my ass out of bed this morning and to a yoga class. Like, I got up at 8:40 for an 8:45 a.m. class. Luckily it’s right by the house so I zoomed over and was actually sort of on time. It’s a nice way to wake up, yoga, reminds me of being at…

How gorgeous and springy are these wedding flowers? Sigh… My friend Kathie made these bouquets, for our friend Mary Heintz’s son John’s wedding. The talents of my friends just blow me away. Kathie is a fundraiser in her “real” job, but you can tell that her heart lies in the realm of plants, outside and…

Buon Giorno! I’ve been there – to the restaurant, Buon Giorno, also home of I Nonni where we had our lovely dinner this past Saturday – and back, had a blast buying wine with the fabulous input of Mark, their wine buyer. Don’t want to, but I’ll have to wait until tonight to have a…
