Sea Isle City Fun...

As a child, we always went to the "shore" for our vacas...Sea Isle City, NJ was our 2nd home...loved it there...then in my 20's I started liking DE 'beaches' just as much (not to mention they were closer and more affordable)...anyway, it had been since 2003 since I was last in SI...my aunt invited us to a quick & relaxing get away...not everyone could make it unfortunately....but me, my mom, Mary, Rob and Aunt Eileen made the most of it...sitting on the porch, drinks and appis, with the view of the ocean less than 10 steps away...a quick dip in the ocean (it was really warm), and I even got Mary to put her feet in the sand and ocean...something she hasn't done in decades (she hates the sand/ocean) but she's happy she finally did it! We also had a wonderful lunch on the bay, followed by a delish dinner in the crock pot of pork tenderloin...mission accomplished!

Catching Up...

I've lagged a bit in my posts from time-to-time, so I figured I'd post a bunch together, to 'catch-up' on various events that I missed to blog...:)
So, my sister, Patty, came to DE for a surprise visit last week...we had a great time...we did a sleepover at my house with all my sibs...tons of food and drinks, lots of laughs...

Labor Day Weekend Fun...

What a busy but FUN Labor Day weekend...Friday an impromtu HH at my cousin, Sean's...Saturday an impromtu HH/dinner at Rob's...Sunday a fabulous family bbq/pool party at my cousin, Kristine's...and Monday, we did ZIP, Nadda, nothing...we were a bit wiped out so we needed a good down day to regroup...I did manage to make a pot of turkey chili and cookies and a few other cassaroles...love to cook! So ready for the FALL Festivities to begin....

Best game ever (center, left, right)...my aunt won big!
