Another whirlwind weekend is in the books.  I don’t know if it’s just the time of year, but the days keep going by so fast.  Friday was my office luncheon, and I am usually in charge of the menu, location, etc.  So I always have a touch of nervousness when the day of the event comes around  because I want to make sure that I...

I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and a stuffy head.  I haven’t gotten a flu shot yet – that was one of the things Tony and I did together and I mostly got mine so that he would get one, and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.  I need to do that this weekend.  My first thought on getting up was...

In the last few days I’ve been feeling like my old self again.  I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’ve lived a year without Tony that I know that I can go on without him, my day spent in Chicago doing something I wanted, or just my overall feeling of being happy again.  It’s almost as if I’ve been living in a...

Saturday I had plans to meet my sister and her daughter downtown for Tasting Table in Fulton Market.   I knew my niece Claire had her placement test for high school (how did she get that old already?!) so I had some time to kill before meeting up with them.  Taking the train downtown was the best idea ever.  It’s an hour and 15 minute ride...

Thanks for all your kind words about my post yesterday.  I cried yesterday morning when I was writing the post, but I surprisingly was okay the rest of the day.  I kept remembering the good times, how he used to make me laugh and it brought a smile to my face instead of tears.  And for some reason now that the first year without Tony...

We’ve come full circle in this year of firsts without the love of my life.  No more second firsts, because I’ve been through them all already.  First Christmas, New Years, birthday, etc.  Each one had it’s own feeling of regret that Tony wasn’t here with me.  If I had to say which ones, I’d have to say my birthday, because he always made me feel...

Over the Thanksgiving weekend I watched my SIL’s dog.  He’s tiny, like six pounds or something like that.  She brought him over once before she left for the weekend to visit her son and his family for Thanksgiving and the dogs seemed to get along.  Well, that was while Jody was here.  Once he got dropped off on Thursday morning, it was pretty clear that...

I hope you all had a fabulous long weekend.  It started with a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and ended with friends for lunch on Sunday.  It was productive and low key at the same time, just what I needed! So I am sharing all the wonderful nut recipes that I received – they are in no particular order.    If the recipes were submitted by food bloggers,...

I just wanted to write a quick note this morning.   I want to thank all of you who take time out of your day to stop by this little blog of mine.   I never would have imagined 7 1/2 years ago how many wonderful people I would meet through this blog and how your support, especially this past year has kept me going and keeping...

I wanted to thank everyone for your comments, texts, instant messages on Facebook and comments on Instagram yesterday after talking about the beginning of the end of Tony passing away.  I will admit I couldn’t read any of them when I was at work for fear of crying right there on the spot, so I waited until I got home.  I let the tears flow...
