September 14...64!

Today would have been Teds 64th birthday. I imagine we would be talking about how he could retire next year, ( But he wouldn't) how OLD he was ( cause he would be!), where we should be planning his 65 birthday trip ( I imagine back to Hillside Villa in Jamaica, because he loved it there so)  etc.

Last year I came across these pics from his time teaching at the Deck House School in Edgecomb ME. These are way before we met, but these capture so well,  the essence of Ted... and they remind me that our children are Ted ambassadors...they embody so many of his qualities. So my birthday wish for Ted is ...I hope you can see how awesome your kiddos are... still, just getting better with age! And thank you for them. Without a doubt our best work!

 

Happy Birthday Cappy!

I Love You and Miss You every day. 

BESTIES

Besties... everyone should have one... I have a few, awesome women whom I depend deeply, confide everything, cry with laugh with and could not have gone thru most of my life things,  without their support and love.

My Aunt Connies Birthday was celebrated a few days ago... she has been my aunt, for my entire life, not my moms sister,  but my moms bestie... besties since childhood. To say I love this woman is understatement. She is strong, kind, fun, loyal, deeply family oriented and simply a beautifully awesome human being.
To have had her as one of my "Mom" role models growing up has definitely influenced my momming game.

And the fun factor... AC always brings her A Game... Here is a little clip from her granddaughter Sarah's wedding.... Dancing with my brother Chris... I also have found memories of these 2 dancing at my wedding some 30 years ago.  I hope to see these two dance at many more family wedding to come!  Love you Aunt Connie.. Happiest of Birthdays to you.XOXOXOXOX
