2. Tell us about a favorite food related memory.
The first time Rob came to our family's Christmas Eve celebration/Feast of the Seven Fishes at my aunt's house...he knew everything I told him but the magnitude of the food and gathering he could not understand until he experienced it first hand- I remember how overwhelmed he was and how much he ate :)
3. What are some things you find particularly peaceful or calming?
The ocean- The Beach- Driving around with the top down and listening to favorite music- Reading
4. Is there something you do now that gets you just as excited as it did when you were a child?
Shows (Theater), High School Football Games, The Beach
5. To what degree are you in touch with friends from grade school? high school? college if you attended college?
Grade School- a few friends only via Facebook- High School- some friends and classmates via Facebook and IG and my best friend in touch regularly- college- again through FB and IG but in touch with a best friend from college in real life too
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I am sensing a back-to-school theme and rightfully so...school starts for us one week from today-eek! This year is extra emotional for me...I will have a Senior and a 6th grader...soaking it up....soaking it up...thanks for following along and all of your encouragement over the years :)
Oh I can relate to getting excited about going to the theater. I love to see a play! Hope y'all enjoy this last week before school begins!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Marilyn- nothing like live theater right? So magical!
DeleteYour family dining experiences always seem like such good ones! I like how food celebrations have played a big role in your family's life. You will have another fun upcoming football season :). Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteVery true - Food is LOVE when you are Italian :)
DeleteI love the food memory! It's the quality, but also the quantity at these big Italian feasts that is so impressive. I hope you have the most wonderful year. It helps to have a younger one still at home when that first one heads to college. I will say though, I loved my girls college years and love their friends from those years still. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou are making me look forward to the college years Joyce-thanks for sharing :)
DeleteSo funny but I won't stand in line for any of those (one or two people sure but a long line? I'd put those clothes back and convince myself I don't really need them!). But we do have all the same calming things on our lists! I mean I know I didn't write a post but those answers would have been on my list. We have lots of shows and ticketed events coming up and I am so excited about them. I definitely get excited about things like that still.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! Even pizza? ;) Totally get it!
DeleteI love your food memory. It's so impressive to read about your family's Feast of the Seven Fishes. Wishing your girls a great school year!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Pamela :)
DeleteYour Christmas Eve celebration looks amazing, I understand why Rob couldn't understand it until he experienced it.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a couple of weeks until my youngest is back at college, this summer has flown over!
DeleteWishing your youngest a wonderful year at school! When it comes to the kids, it all flies by :(
I work at a college, and my heart always goes out to the parents of seniors who either call or visit our campus. It’s such a bittersweet year.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! :)
