Tita Cindy (from Texas) has been in town. We were blessed to visit with her a bit this afternoon and enjoyed a lovely fall stroll along Raritan Bay just five minutes down the road from our home. A mindful walk, the sun nourished my tired spirit. I was reminded once again how peaceful the walk is along the bay. What a gem to live so near the water.my mind's stroll
my spirit wanders
the beaten bayshore's boardwalk

In remission
We also had a chance to visit with some old family friends in Newtown, PA this weekend. Tita Lor is in remission from leukemia. Definitely worth celebrating! Tita Daisy & Tito Joon were up from FL for a quick hello. While we were thankful to be spending time with them (including Tito Lito, Auntie Aurea, Uncle Regino, Aileen, Julie, Jasmine & Tita Noemi), I think Mom & I were both overwhelmed. These are my parents' old friends from Stamford (CT). Dad & Mom would drive up on the weekends just to bowl with them. The only person missing was Dad. I suppose he was there -- enjoying everyone's company too.
