Hello friends, Hello Fall....

Now, where were we?
Toes in the sand, drinks in our hand

Ah, yes, it was summer and the livin' was easy.  
The sun has set on yet another summer......(although I am pretty sure this picture is of the SUNRISE!!!  Details, details....)


Summer is now just a distant memory......
Judiland is now struggling to get back to some sense of peace and tranquility after a full docket of visitors and activity that stretched even this party girl to her limit......
Here's what happened in Judiland since we last spoke.....
We hosted an August star-spangled event for some August visitors.....

Our New Jersey family came for a visit...here's me and beautiful Bella visiting some of our Pittsburgh family during their time with us....

And, there was our Concert in The Backyard....with family musicians showing off their talents.....that Carmen...the headliner of the event.....


Then,  we had the first ever family reunion on Carmen's side of the family.  This picture is missing about 30 people but hey....it was a rough crowd to get together....! 

With so many Italians in one room....you can be sure there was lots of amazing food!  So, yes, there was lots of cooking involved.  Here's  a few of our newly found cousins helping put out all of our amazing recipes! 

Hey, there's Carmen and I getting to know his cousin Joe (a local celebrity) who we never knew was a cousin.  We bonded over my rendition of Italian Sangria! 


 
 
We tied it all up by hosting  family members who are Pitt alums for the Pitt game at a place where I didn't have to cook or entertain.....I was so done.....


So, yeah...that explains our early September escape to the beach......with 2 fun vacation companions....
Our lovely daughter and her beau....
 And, that explains where I have been for well over a month....


Yep, I'm back.....
