Tina's Toast on my Wedding Day

Cheers to my sister, Gina!
A lady so frank, so focused, so full of life. Gina is always there to give you encouragement. Gina always believes what you believe in. Gian will never judge because she believes in openness and discussion.
Gina is so self-less so full of Love.
I raise my glass to the most amazing sister and to the luckiest men today- Rob, Richard, Aaron,
and Carey. Huge and great things do come in small packages!
Cheers to the bride!

Friends for Life

10/4/2018

Am on UNited Flight 635 to Denver en route to NYC! It's the 11th year of our annual STC HS group get together with Lysa, Monina, Susan K.The group of quite different personalities who have grown to care about each other but only truly synch up at these long weekend getaways. I have and always looked forward to belonging in a significant way to my friends who, despite our varied backgrounds can truly relate and love each other. Every single one of us has gone through tough times, truly trying times at certain points in our 58-60 years. We treasure those moments as well. And we are there for each other somehow. We know because we shared it with each other.
The laughter and the tears that I wouldn't trade out because these are the stuff life is made of, meant to share with our companions in our journey through this short, fleeting and limited life. 2 of us have lost their moms while Monina and I have ours- the last of the parents alive.
Another milestone, a transition to have to go through.
 Train rides to Manhattan from Queens! We're going to talk about our kids! Our husbands, our needs and wants, our dreams, and aspirations. Our hopes for the future!

Happy anniversary!

11 years ago, we blended our families and journeyed together through life's path, ups and downs and coming full circle! The kids are adults and were like kids again!!
Its been a really awesome ride! Thanks Robbie!!

My Son the Entrepreneur

Its interesting that somehow I feel that Richard is a true blend if his Mom and Dad! He is open and has big dreams and at the same time he is able to articulate, plan and execute it to the T!
He has been telling me about what his design dreams are and how he wants to go about it!! 
He knows inherently it will happen and is going through the opportunities presented to him and taking advantage of the options!
Trichome opened last Saturday, its hip, its a design and ideological experience.
Congratulations Richard and John!
You are both awesome and i'm so proud of you!
