Happy Birthday Mom!
Thank you Tim, Jean, Marcello and Keith for making this a wonderful weekend for Mom. We decided to celebrate my Mom's birthday this past weekend and Tim and his family couldn't have made it better. Jean made these amazing Pina Coladas! Keith and Marcello entertained us with their brainiac-ness! Yuki charmed us with her cuteness! Tim and Jean cooked an incredible dinner which included a re-visit to the Honey Bee Cake recipe which was delicious! Mom really enjoyed herself and we watched vintage 70's movies outdoors as the sun set. Nothing better then the Towering Inferno on the big screen. Happy Birthday Mom - so glad that you are here with us and able to celebrate your birthday in New York.

The Best Gift
Finding little surprises around the garden this summer are just all a bonus. Because, the biggest gift of all is having my mother here. In the middle of this gorgeous weekend, I found myself sitting on the back porch with her. I looked around and felt so full of love and joy with all the beautiful things surrounding us, she is the most beautiful thing of all. I feel so grateful and happy right at the moment. It was an amazing weekend.
Little Surprises
This summer is full of surprises. As Tim and I start to repair portions of our neglected garden, we find a few little rewards. After years of no tomatoes or the worst specimens you have even seen, we are glad to see that there are other great little gifts in our garden. Our grape vines finally produced grapes this summer. We found them as we started to clean and separate plants to transfer. Totally excited. Know nothing about grapes and harvesting and when you can pick so have to do some homework. Love little gifts like this.
