Newport

 Tony and I had planned to go to Newport

for St. Paddy's day but because of an unfortunate car

accident we had to postpone it. It ended up working in our favor

because we rescheduled it on restaurant week. Pretty much

all we did was EAT. three course meals three times a day, it was

crazy. we were finally able to get a reservation at the spiced pear

it's the first "summer cottage" on the Cliff walk and the view is so

whimsical, right out of a nautical painting. We also ate at other fabulous places like

22 Bowen, Skell's and Shells, the Red Parrot and many more...

We did a lot of hiking and walking and

of course antiquing. It really doesn't take a whole lot to entertain me especially

when your in a beautiful little town like Newport.

"We'll always have Summer..."

***

He came up and kissed me on my forehead, and before he stepped away, I closed my eyes and tried hard to memorize this moment. I wanted to remember him exactly as he was right then, how his arms looked, how everything looked and the way his hair was cut a little too short in the front.
Then he was gone.

Just for that moment, the thought that I might never see him again… it felt worse than death. I wanted to run after him. Tell him anything, everything. Just don’t go. Please just never go. Please just always be near me, so I can at least see you.

Because it felt final. I always believed that we would find our way back to each other every time. That no matter what, we would be connected—by our history. But this time, this last time, it felt final. Like I would never see him again, or that when I did, it would be different, there would be a mountain between us.

I knew it in my bones. That this time was it. I had finally made my choice, and so had he. He let me go, which I expected. What I didn’t expect was to feel so much grief.

Easter

Easter Sunday was such a beautiful day.

Tony and I drove around for awhile had a few cocktails

at stonebarns and ate dinner in North Salem.

It was a familiar feeling day, one I feel ive had

before.  I love Easter and the Lent season.  It truly is

a beautiful time for Christians to reflect and Love.

Today I met an old friend...

I went to Brevard College

 with Mr. Micheal Martin AKA Mexi haha.  He called

me Wolfey.  We became wonderful friends our

freshmen year and after that we never really

had the chance to see one other, life happened. 

It was such a treat for him

and his beautiful wife Chrissy to come up and

visit.  We had the whole day together.

You havent changed a bit Mexi.

love ya Doll!.

Yankee Doodle Dandy!?

 

***

On Friday evening I made Tony and myself

a fabulous dinner.  Steak (of course) with

arugula and homemade blue cheese dressing.

He kept asking me if I wanted to go out?  He knows me well enough

to know when i have my lounge clothes on by 5pm there is

no hope of getting me out of the house.  I didn't know it then but

the poor man was improvising in his mind. 

I said "look i recorded Yankee Doodle Dandy!" in a very excited tone. But he

loves it because I have recruited him into the fabulous world of black and white

classics.  Musicals especially.  Tony will even admit he wants

to be Gene Kelly.  So after dinner we snuggled up and started watching the film.

He was fidgeting and being, quite frankly, annoying.  more then half way through the movie

I'm pretty sure in the middle of "Glory Hallelujah" and the boy scouts saluting to

"It's a Grand ole Flag" He gets down on his knees and starts purposing to me.

I had no idea what was going on and i actually shushed him, ha-ha, the poor guy.

Then i kind of got it, everything was just so wonderful and funny and perfectly ME, no perfectly US.

The ring is breathtaking! He is so charming, reliable, funny, God-loving and sensitive, all in one big attractive manly package.

 We popped Champagne and called all our friends and Family.

 

It's incredible how things happen and work out.  I love this Man SO SO much.

and i cant believe I'm an engaged woman now!  I cant wait to see what the next 100 years takes

us.  I love you my Darling.

Baptism

Amanda and Anthony Antonellis

picked a beautiful day to baptise their little girl Anabel

in the catholic church.  But before that sacrament happened another

one would take place.  Amanda had a little surprise in store for Anthony

and they got remarried inside the church before baptising their

baby girl. Witnessing such beautiful love between to people

really does make your realize there is "only one world" and

we all must make the best of it. 

Congratulations to you both.

LOVE YOU!.
