Let's Do Lunch

 


A nice lunch out with my friends Sherri and Jo at the newly opened "Luna"restaurant in Long Beach.

Great interior design, good food and service.  




 










 




It is Born

 

 




 "Here I came to the very edge where nothing at all needs saying, 

everything is absorbed through weather and the sea, 

and the moon swam back,

its rays all silvered,

and time and again the darkness would be broken by the crash of a wave,

and every day on the balcony of the sea,

wings open,

fire is born,

and everything is blue again like morning."  -Pablo Neruda,  "It is Born"

Hello Grandma

 

 


 I actually loved rotary phones and when my parents bought me a yellow Princess phone I was absolutely over the moon!

 

 


 “Indeed Hello Grandma!”

In life

 "In life you have to learn to count

the good days.  You have to tuck

them in your pocket and carry

them around with you." -Richard Osman

Happy Fathers Day Daniele and Mat 2025

 



Happy Father's Day Mike and David

 



We spent a wonderful day with my bff Mary and her husband David.  The past several years I have been in Italy or Australia and missed Father’s Day but Mary and David have always celebrated with Mike. So this year we four were able to be together. Mike insisted on making a meat centric Italian lunch beginning with Mike’s version of “Scotch Eggs” which happens to be one of David’s favorite foods. Mikes version has Italian Sausage around a hard boiled egg. It was a big hit. 

 




 



We then had spaghetti with bracciole a pounded stuffed rolled steak, meat balls , and pork ribs.

 


 

 David and Mary brought Mikes favorite rhubarb pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. We went up to the nearby Los Alamitos Rancho for a pleasant walk.

A wonderful day celebrating two great dads.
