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.....
