My beautiful Gull

Weekending

We got to see Nicholas play hockey this weekend for his new junior league hockey team, the Springfield Pics. It's only been two weeks since he left but it feels like months : (  I miss my boy...

We took him out to lunch and then back to his apartment for a bit.  

Then yesterday Danny and I spent the whole afternoon basking in the sunshine at Castle Island.  It was a spectacular day with not a cloud in the sky...

We had fried clams and scallops for lunch. Yum...

But after this nice weekend Danny, Gianna and I were confirmed positive with Covid on Tuesday: (  Danny and I aren't feeling great. It just feels like the flu and we can't smell or taste anything. Thankfully Gianna feels perfectly fine except the loss of her taste and smell too.  She'll miss quite a bit of school though due the mandatory ten days of quarantine. It's just very annoying that only four months after my second vaccine I still got it. I am proof that the vaccines don't work because I am "as sick" as Danny who did not get the vaccine. Our symptoms are identical.  

Covid Covid go away and don't come back another day.

Visiting Julia

I visited this beauty yesterday...

Poor girl ran out of snacks for her dorm room : )  so we had to fix that as soon as possible for her! I remember all too well being hungry at college too.  Sometimes you just don't have anyone to go to the dining hall with...or the weather isn't the best to run out and get food...or sometimes it's just too darn early to walk over to the dining hall for breakfast.  I would never want my girl to go hungry so lots of snacks (healthy and not so healthy) were purchased.  I also made her a batch of my homemade chocolate chip muffins per her request.  Then we found a great little diner and had some yummy breakfast food for lunch...

When we got back to her dorm to put away all her goodies, we took a walk around campus to show Gianna...just in case she wants to go there too someday. I know she misses her sister...

I so wish the sun was shining yesterday but the campus is still stunningly beautiful. This is literally right across the street from her dorm. I would sit on that bench every day if I lived there...

another private beach of theirs...

The campus...

Then Julia had to get "gameday ready" for another team photoshoot so it was time for us to head home.

I took these off their Instagram account since I wasn't invited : (   

I'm so happy for my girl.  She still has to figure a few things out and is still adjusting...but she's happy and healthy and loving her new life.  I mentioned that it's only been three weeks since she left home and she said it feels like seven months!  I'm sure it does for her...but for me it feels like a year.  I miss my girl.

Winery

Yesterday I spent a gorgeous afternoon relaxing in the sunshine with my friends at Sakonnet Vineyard in Rhode Island...   

After we went to dinner at the Boathouse...

There was a wedding taking place on their lawn while we were there...

Such a fun day with my lifelong friends...
