Let me throw you back to my son’s wedding – 15 years of throwing back- with photos of my husband, me, and my son. Photos that I dusted off and finally framed to be displayed.
My two handsome men! As they stand together, father, son, and now husbands. As happy as dad was for his son, it was also a time of sad reality, for dad knew, that on this day, he had to let go of his son’s little hand to begin a new life with his new wife.
As for me. When I first saw this picture of me and my little boy together I said, “Ugh, I look terrible.” Now, 15 years later, I look at this picture and say, “Oh, I look so young.” Ha! How time changes what your eyes see…but, I too had to let my son’s little hand go. Our little boy now a man. At that time, the quote by Emily Griffin, came to mind, “A son is a son till he gets a wife…”
However, 15 years of marriage has made my son a better son. I think his wife had something to do with that… 🙂
She turned her can’ts into can and her dream into a plan. Go Girl. We are so proud in how far she has come and have faith in how far she can go. I love her so, she is awesome. Her boyfriend Robby along with his parents Maritza and Rob joined in the celebration.
Beauty and Brains and a Heart of Gold. Seems like a great time to celebrate with the cheerleaders in her life.
And it is always a good time for cake!!
After such a great job Maritza made these Graduation Kit Kat favors for all of us to enjoy. What a fabulous idea ~ love it!! Congratulations Sandra, you already did the hard part, wishing you a future filled with love, success and happiness.

Birthdays are special! But are even more special when very special people in your life celebrate birthdays only 2 days apart. Like husband and Grandson. That’s why this year, to make their birth dates rise to the celebration, I gathered them both and took them to see the Broadway play BEETLEJUICE the Musical.
Now mind you, this was not an easy gathering. My husband, who works in Manhattan, doesn’t like to spend any time in the city on his days off. As for my grandson. Well, he just turned 9, so life is still a bowl full of kittens. 🙂
This Saturday’s adventure ride to the big city did end up to be a little more eventful. It was the first time we got to seat on one of the LIRR Double Decker trains. We sat high up, looking down onto the streets, as the the train whooshed by. When we arrived, at Penn Station, we couldn’t help but salute Old Glory, as it hung high directing our exit to the NYC trains, which was not so adventurous.
The play did not start on time and I became fearful of the down time. I thought if BEETLEJUICE doesn’t start soon my grandson would begin missing his sister and/or mother. For the truth be told, this was the very first time he has ventured out without the accompaniment of his sister. He didn’t say a word. This was good and it was a tiny bit sad, my grandson is growing up.
When the play finally began it was a easy bike ride up hill. BEETLEJUICE – The Musical made us laugh, kept us entertained, offered so much more than what I had expect. BEETLEJUICE gave the audience a few surprises. When the play was over I did notice that my non-smiling husband was exiting with an entertained heart.
Then it was time to head on home.
As I watched them strolling, very quickly down Broadway, to catch the train, I then realized that this was my musical moment of the day, cause I was the orchestrator and they the music that always brings me joy.
