Flashback Friday — Sea changes
Snow. Ice. Bitter cold. We need a bit of summer warmth, so I’m flashing back today to June 2000, when my friend, Jacquie, and I gathered the kids and met up at Mystic Aquarium in upstate Connecticut. It was a great day — being together, seeing the creatures (the beluga whales were a huge hit as I … Continue reading
Flashback Friday — My Funny Valentine
Flashing back today to 1997 and a 10-month-old Catherine showing off the Valentine’s Day frock that Grandma made. Then, as now, she had a mind of her own.

As you might recall, it was a fabulous trip for them. Click here to relive their adventures. Catherine swears … Continue reading

Flashback Friday — Warm Spell
All this winter weather has me thinking spring, especially with the forecast warning of single-digit wind chills starting tonight and more snow on the way Sunday. So naturally, I went searching for a Flashback photo that was just beachy. It’s Catherine, age 4, basking in the July sunshine at Tod’s Point, Greenwich. (No, I haven’t … Continue reading
