Happy memories of a long-ago New Year's Day

We brought our first-born home on Jan. 1, 1989.  It was a perfect day to have our daughter come home with us.

I took this photo of the Connecticut River Thursday before my daughter's wedding reception!  

Sharing sentimental Christmas season memories

I wanted to post this newsletter from three years ago but I'm at a loss as to how to enlarge. 

Hoping someone knows how to make it legible!

Happy Independence Day!

Daughter Allegra captured this heart-shaped firework in 2019 from Elizabeth Street in downtown Derby. It was our favorite one of the night.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

Mohegan Sun-set

On Sunday daughter Allegra went to Mohegan Sun with a friend and caught a great sunset photo from atop the parking garage.

Recuperation journey: Throwback Thursday

First day of school in 1997.

My mom would come over on the first day of school when the kids were little to see them off on the bus.  
Wonderful memories! 💞 💞 💞

Recuperation journey: Birthday reflections

On my birthday I have many good memories of childhood parties, dinners out, cake, lots of cake, and never having to go to school on my special day. 

But the best memory of all is the perfect gift I received on my birthday in 1988: our daughter Allegra! 

Happy, Happy Birthday to our beautiful and talented daughter. May your days be merry and bright and may 2019 be your best year yet.

Love,
Mumsie

Recuperation journey: Throwback Thursday - 1992 edition

Looking back to a day in the summer of '92 when my mother and I took the kiddos to Little Bit Farm in Seymour. 
Yes that's our son on the left with the long, long locks. 
He was only about 20 months old at the time and I didn't want him to lose those blond curls. That's my excuse!

I captured daughter Allegra at the finish line Friday evening.

She was ready for a shower after going through four color splash zones along the route.

Recuperation journey: Gray day? No way

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and those who fill the important role of mom on this special Sunday. 
We don't need flowers, but we do enjoy them!

Recuperation journey: Down memory lane

My daughter Allegra uses this photo of my mother holding her when she was a baby for her Facebook profile pic.

I recently found this photo amongst some old photos. 

It's now my profile pic on FB.
