I realized today as I was sweeping the kitchen … that after 22 years… just being together is enough.
It’s what makes me happiest.
Today is our anniversary and after a summer of touring Italy and seeing two kids off to college… we are not doing anything special.
Oatmeal for breakfast … a trip to the gym… a small pile of wrapped presents on the dining room table… after agreeing we would not exchange gifts this year … old habits die hard.
He’s working today. I’m working tomorrow. And of course, there’s football.
If the stars align, we will go out to dinner tomorrow night.
But if practice should run long … I’d be happy just staying home too!
Because after 22 years … you realize it doesn’t matter what you’re doing or where you are … as long as you have each other.
That’s the best gift of all.
Time. Together. Us.
After all these years, I still feel lucky.
I always will.

All things Italian … to make her feel like a princess… zoom in there are special touches throughout from the Italian cookies to the honeycomb with pomegranate to the figs and thinly sliced prosciutto… the castelvetrano olives and baby grapes like my great Aunt Mary used to grow in her yard!I hope she loves it and knows I made it special just for her!

To my daughter … I am always there.
When you feel frightened and unsure, I am the soft breeze in your hair and the butterfly fluttering by.
While I may be miles away … I am still there.
I am that little voice deep inside telling you, you can.
When life gets scary and hard … just remember your father can always save the day.
Your brothers … aka your pet flies … will miss you.
The three amigos forever.
Nothing will ever break that.
Always remember when you miss me…
I’m the sparkle in your eyes and the silly in your laugh.
I’m your past.
I cannot wait to see your future. Villanova sure got lucky with you …
May God continue to bless you and shine his light upon you.
My little angel.
I love you so much. Driving away today … I blew a kiss into the air … I hope it finds you whenever you need it. My arms will always be your blanket.
I left a big hug for you … pink and fuzzy at the bottom of your bed.
By your pillow … I left my greatest dreams for you.
Sleep tight.
Ness … take care of my girl. You always do.
My Cha … do good, be good.
I am always there.
In your heart.

It was once all about firsts… first steps, first day of kindergarten, first roller coaster, first sleepover… first day of high school…
Now I find myself clinging to the lasts.
Last family dinner that we would all be together around the table in our back yard.
The last great celebration … the grand finale to mark the end of a summer well spent filled with new jobs, a lot of fishing and plenty of travel.
So I did it up … chicken Parmesan, meatballs, homemade pasta, sourdough, charcuterie… the best wine and spritzes!
And just before everyone dived in….I yelled from the steps (I am always the last one to the table) Leo take a picture!
Click!
I wanted to remember this feeling right here. Happiness around the table. A frozen moment in time that wasn’t about firsts or lasts but about right now.
Playing bridge while we ate. It helped that Leo and I won 😂😂😂. Poking fun at each other. Cleaning our plates and then some!
Nothing beats this feeling right here. The now.
I’ll miss it when I come down into the kitchen and it’s empty and clean next week.
Attie leaves for WPI tomorrow and we travel to Philly on Tuesday to bring Charlotte to Villanova.
Then Nick will resume traveling for work and it will just be me & Leo. Luckily he’s the sweetest kid ever and knows how Moms is.
I love it best when the house is full and messy and everyone’s friends are over.
I love the noise and the crazy.
I’m not one for quiet and calm.
But to everything a season … and to all my friends feeling these same emotions right now … while this time is hard … it makes you appreciate the fullness of life and how lucky we are to have each other. And all those firsts and even all those lasts.
Until next summer!
And until then … there’s Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can already smell the pies and the cookies and imagine what the door will sound like when they walk back through it.

Nothing like an honest day’s work.
Or a whole summer of them!
You did it Attie 💗💗💗💗!!!
As a Mom, I am forever grateful to the man who took a chance on Attie and offered him a job framing houses.
I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out if I’m being honest … but no matter the task Attie showed up and never complained. Not about the heat or the splinters in his hands or the heavy lifting. Instead, he came home with this smile every day … sweaty and filthy but filled with purpose.
In the process, he learned a trade from one of the best … a skill that will complement his engineering degree when he graduates in two years.
It was an opportunity that taught him the importance of hard work ( he was at the job site by 6:30 and worked till 3 Monday through Friday and sometimes Saturday too.)
He learned about trust and dedication… as well as what it takes to build a house from the ground up.
What started as just a foundation … is now a house and a summer well spent.
Today was his last day on the job site before packing up and heading back to WPI.
I’m sure going to miss him and the stories he brought home. I will miss cooking dinner together and watching shows at night.
But while this process of letting go never gets any easier … I now understand just how good it feels to sit back and see the time spent paying off.
To see his success and happiness makes it all worthwhile.
I’m so proud of you Attie. I always have been and I always will be. Thanks for being you!!

We work really hard to make our guests at Biella Rose feel at home and loved!
One of our special touches in addition to an amazing library of books, fresh linens and fancy soaps …
is of course homemade baked goods.
Our guests yesterday arrived shortly after 4 p.m. (it should be noted that everyone who stays at Biella Rose rents the WHOLE house… which sleeps 14 plus… )
On check in day, guests are provided a code to let themselves in.
By 4:15 yesterday … we received this picture.
And, it made our day!
Beautiful home… happy guests… loaves of love!
The little surprises make the biggest diffference… 💗hope this family has a great week in our happy place.

Lazy lunches by the sea, castle climbs, beach walks, fancy cars, double espressos, pistachio gelato, cherry filled pastries, caviar and champagne and boutique shopping filled our final days in Puglia.
At night we attended a tomato festival at our hotel and had a private dinner in a lemon grove.
Our favorite stop: polignano a mare … a town made famous in part thanks to Domenico Modugno … who sang that song Volare … a whole lot better than I did in the town square after a bottle of Vermentino.
A little wine and I’m up for anything.
Including wearing a crazy bedazzled Italian flag hat in 110 degree heat and conducting my own private show.
What can I say …I am a slave to fashion!
When in town, you must visit Meraviglioso. Order the black caviar … it’s less than $40 and comes with the yummiest popover … try the octopus and the fresh catch ceviche. Trust me … delish!
The beach is a sight to see … I took a picture for you. Because you can’t go there … there’s no more room to sit!
Instead of swimming, we opted to shop.
Nick and I bought linen outfits to match our hotel … which I can only say is out of this world and very much like one in Return of the Jedi. I believe it’s instagram famous.
It’s called Borgo Egnazia. Justin Timberlake got married here. There are many many flowy linen drapes, candles everywhere, satchels of lemons and nuts and a pool that rivals the ocean.
The tomato festival takes place here. It is more of a Hollywood theatrical production than a festival. At one point, a large black stallion danced the tango with a beautiful woman dressed in white with a red sash, performers blew flames from their mouths into the crowds while little old ladies ground tomatoes and rolled pasta and men served red wine and pizza.
I am not kidding.
I thought maybe I was dreaming. But I swear it happened! I have the pictures to prove it!
Our other favorite towns to visit Martina Franca and Locorotondo
Did you like it slippers? I saw that too so what do you eat? You get to work welcome… here we had lunch with the locals.
I highly recommend Osteria iL Risone … order the charcuterie board and the homemade orecchiette. You’ll be fat but you’ll also be happy …
This town is also famous for its Bocconotto. We ordered the cherry almond and ate it while sipping coffee and watching a wedding across the square.
Our grand hurrah was back at the hotel … where Nick surprised me with a private dinner in a lemon grove.
He’s no Justin Timberlake.
He’s my Nick. And, I love him.
Thank you Nick for spoiling me and proving it’s possible to fall in love all over again 22 years later.
Oh and one last postscript … this trip would not have been possible without Pasquale.
Our driver and our friend.
We met Pasquale halfway through our trip when he provided us with a transfer into town.
Most days he drives for those attending the G 7 or Francis Ford Coppola and his relatives … and other royalty. But for two days he was with us.
I will never ride in a nicer car with an even nicer driver than Pasquale. I love you my friend … ♥️thank you for all the rides, the chats with Mercedes and even more for the memories.

Dust billowed in giant plumes of thick gray smoke as our car raced higher and higher towards the barren desert field.
The burnt orange siena sun beat down upon a canary red bridge in the distance.
This was the spot.
We had finally reached the meeting point to see one of the most evocative artistic treasures: the Crypt of the Original Sin… the most anticipated and prized attraction of our 10 day trip to Italy.
As practicing Catholics this private tour arranged through Palazzo Margherita will forever be a moment where our faith and reality collided.
It is famously called the Sistine Chapel of cave paintings.
And feels overwhelmingly like sacred ground.
Nestled in a natural rock hollow just a few kilometers from Matera along the historic Appian Way, the crypt remained hidden until May 1963 when it was discovered by some local children.
It dates back to the 9th century AD.
And for the next 20 minutes it would be ours.
The instructions were brief… We could not take pictures and must stay seated on the wooden steps as we listened to a brief presentation explaining what had been painted on the walls so many years ago.
Because I cannot show you … I will tell you these images, particularly the one of Adam and Eve … brought the Bible to life.
And revealed an interesting detail … instead of an apple … Eve was tempting Adam with a fig.
This was straight out of Angels and Demons. And is the best 22nd anniversary gift I could ever imagine.
If 25 is silver … 22 is crypt frescoe.
To complete the gift, Nick hired a private driver to whisk us from the cave to the nearby town of Matera, where day would lapse to night in a Paleolithic rock city.
If it looks familiar it’s because Matera has served as a background for several famous movies including The Passion of the Christ as well as a James Bond film.
As we walked over tombs and in caves we learned how the Sassi of Matera serves and an example of human development over time … from when people lived in caves to the introduction of infrastructure.
Following our private tour, we had dinner on a cliff overlooking the majestic white landscape and made friends with an earless cat who’s fond of sea bass.
Should you ever find yourself here I highly recommend making a reservation at Regiacorte.
Nick was given a tour of the wine cellar before making a selection … a beautiful Pinot Nero to go with our eclectic dishes. The veal and the sea bass were delicious… but my favorite was dessert. The most amazing pannacotte.
Our next stop: Puglia.

The magic is hidden behind a heavy gray metal door. Once inside, a palace awaits.
Built in his grandfather’s ancestral town of Bernalda , Italy by Francis Ford Coppola … this hotel is an Italian gem spliced directly from the Godfather … complete with doves and melodic music.
There’s even an ornate screening room with a chandelier that can be raised and lowered via remote control so that you can sit and watch his movies on the big screen.
Every detail down to the walnuts and pistachios on the stone table and oversized Murano glass chandeliers set Palazzo Margherita apart from all others.
We are staying in the Sophia room named after Coppola’s only daughter.
Oh are we spoiled!
Upon our arrival, Nick orders the signature drink made with rosemary and vodka. It is called the ciccio, an affectionate nickname for Francis and named by the staff in honor of the boss.
We nibble on olives and focaccia and mixed nuts. They bring out a bottle of chilled white wine native to nearby Puglia.
Hotel Manager Rossella sets the tone with upscale elegance and a profound knowledge of the history here within these thick stone walls, taking the time out of her day to tour the palazzo with us.
We take advantage of the complimentary cooking class … instead of the teacher this time I am the student.
Fresh pasta made with only semolina flour and water is on the menu … no eggs! We learn three shapes including one perfected by using an old iron bicycle spoke … the way they used to make it and still do.
I put on a red dress after class and we take a walk before our private dinner. The streets are filled with locals - not another American in sight. We take pictures of the church, outdoor grocery and the laundry!
This is my favorite part of the trip. I live for the story and this one has so many chapters.
We are so very grateful to Rossella for this experience.
As for the hotel, Coppola renovated this 19th century palace to pay homage to his family … it took 5 years… and we are the lucky guests.
For most of our stay we had the entire palazzo to ourselves … a banquet breakfast… time at the travertine pool (which we did share with an inquisitive dove) and a car service to take us out beyond the village to have dinner in a cave. (More on that in my next post)
As I type this we are in the middle of a field the sun setting over a town that is 7,000 years old.
Last night we had dinner in the courtyard at “our” palazzo … the pizza oven lit just for us.
A bottle of red wine chilling …as it is very warm here.
Maybe this is a dream. Funny thing is no matter where we are we walk and talk and share so many laughs.
We even found another collection of the seven dwarfs… they seem to be following us.
Of all of our stops this one is the most romantic. I do not want to leave.
