SPECIAL SUNDAY EDITION!!!

I have decided that this will be my annual Father's Day post. My Father's love lives on in me day after day even though he has passed from this life to the next. I can be content if my life is even a small reflection of what he taught me.

I lost my beloved Daddy on November 23rd of 2009, for me it still feels very much like yesterday. I had published this blog post years ago, quite some time before he past away, to celebrate the amazing person he was and him overcoming a major medical stumbling block,  I think Father's Day is the perfect day to republish it.  I miss you ♥ Daddy!!!! 


- HERE'S TO YOU DADDY -
- MY HERO - MY BEST FRIEND - MY ENCOURAGER - I LOVE YOU -

he deeply loved his family (that's me on the bottom girl on the right 1 of 7 kids)
he was an amazing artist and loved his gift to create fabulous works of art

he loved his daily newspaper and didn't go a day without the comics!
And when i was a little girl i could curl up in his lap and he'd read them to me!

as a architectural illustrator he loved the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright


he loved fine dining and his favorite was fresh lobster. We share SO MANY amazing
meals together, he definitely influenced my love and passion for cooking.
his love for fine dining included fine wine - his favorite was pouilly fuissi!


he loved classic styling and the straight 12 jaguar was his all time favorite!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY...ALWAYS IN MY HEART!!!

More than Monday

I LOVE it when inspiration can come to us at the most simple, quiet and calm times of life!!! This video is a fabulous example of that! I am so thankful the CurlyMonkeyMama mentioned this blogger from Helsinki Finland on her facebook page. 





 Inspiration comes in different ways on different days for all of us...

More than Monday


Yesterday I traveled to a Michigam city called Grand Rapids with my husband. While this AMAZING 24 foot Leonardo da Vinci bronze sculpture is often a main attraction and well worth the 2.5 hour drive, something even more wonderful made this journey extra special.

We made the trip to meet a very dear woman that I have grown to love like family. Although she was
here in Michigan for a business packed weekend she took time to spend the day enjoying time together!
This woman and her sister are truly the kind of people anyone would be fortunate just to know and I feel
so blessed to call them my dear, dear friends! They both inspire me!!! Mia Cara ♥ Angelo Sorreli!

Abbiamo perso te ♥ Annina ♥
