I've posted this before. I was at the Newport Folk Festival sometime in the late 60s. It was fabulous! Saw Bob Dylan, Judy Collins and a host of others perform. As a single gal at that time, I remember how cute those Navy guys stationed in Newport were. 😉 I just spent quite a while trying to track down a song that I love. I couldn't remember the name, but the tune kept playing in my mind. FINALLY, I googled "songs by Andrea Bocelli" and boom, there it was, "Time To Say Goodbye". I never tire of hearing that song.

We've been to Newport 3x. Great town to visit. Totally adorable. How long were they with you? Seems like a short stay. Love their towel or blankie!

With tears, I thank you for posting this incredible story.

@mo&fran Please add my prayers and wishes for a successful outcome.

One of our favorite towns when we lived nearby. Great river views, shops, restaurants, etc.

Don't believe everything you read: The Rhode Island home that Taylor Swift sold ... Feb 10, 2022 — The singer's house in Rhode Island, a small coastal town in New York, has eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms.

Birthday wishes to Shelagh and Mimi. Mark hopefully Susan will be feeling much better very soon.

Love your new home away from home. Very well appointed. I'm looking forward to reading about your new wonderful adventures. Safe travels.

I've been to Northpark numerous times but since I'm in the Northern part of the DFW metroplex I stick to Collin County Malls; Stonebriar, shops at Fairview. I've bought some nice outfits in Dillard's but it seems Macy's is where I have the best luck. BTW, Chico's has great jewelry. And, howdy neighbor!

So you also know! 😀

EWWWWW. 😝 JMHO. You're allowed to love them. Honest! You make my point. 😀 My favorite movie theater nosh were chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bonbons. Getting ready to go out for lunch with friends then back here for coffee and good stuff with no raisins.

Truth be told I hate raisins as well. I never ate Raisinettes. I was a Goobers gal. I pick raisins out of trail mix. My mom would omit raisins in her recipes just for me. Raisins were left out of her apple strudel, cheese blintzes, cookies among other dishes.

I remember with pride watching the Yankees victory parades after their Series wins down the Canyon of Heroes (Broadway) in lower Manhattan. My History teacher in Jr. High (today's Middle School) signed my graduating autograph book with the most lovely comments about what an exceptional student I was, what a joy I was in his class. Problem was it was addressed "To Susan". I told him who I was, he crossed out Susan and added Bonnie. 🙄 It's a pleasure reading about your new family. I know it brings you much happiness.

I remember how exciting the NY Subway Series was between Mets and Yankees. We gave up formal cruise wear a few cruises ago. I now wear nice slacks with a glitzy top. As others mentioned I do most of my shopping in Macy's and have bought some nice pieces at Belk. I haven't bought much cruisewear lately because unfortunately, my clothes still fit. 🫢 Congrats on your weight loss and have a wonderful cruise with calm seas.

Oftentimes, the team you root for as a kid, shapes who you feel loyal to now. I followed the Yankees (spelled correctly) even after I moved to TX. I lost interest after Jeter retired. Amazing longevity that spanned 20 years with the same team. My BIL is still a Mets fan even though he's in TX now over 20 years. His son now in TX, also originally from NYC is a Mets fan as well. He named his dog Shea. 🤭

This is more than awful:

My Brooklyn born and raised BIL was a die hard Dodgers fan until the Dodgers vacated Brooklyn for greener pastures in CA. He then became a life long Mets fan. There is a sweet episode of the long ago TX series "Brooklyn Bridge" about the Jackie Robinson trade. One brother about 7 or so, asked his big brother about 13 why Robinson was traded. Older brother said "for more money". Younger brother said "they get paid?" How sweet and innocent for a kid to think they played just for the love of the game.

Hope it isn't serious and that Susan gets relief soon. I love reading about your grandkids adventures. You're very talented! @DaniDanielle Marietta, your sweet granddaughter will always be a star.

That you are Lenny, but I bet a certain NYC baseball team would not agree. 🤣

Now, now, Lenny, be nice. 🫢 Just love your team. And Happy Anniversary to your daughter and SIL.

Very well said and very caring. Let me add my congratulations for a wonderful Happy Anniversary to both of you.

I feel exactly the same way to both of you, @mo&fran for healing prayers and @DaniDanielle for your daughter and grandkids hearts to heal.

Happy Anniversary Helen and Marty!! Love and happiness to you both always. 💕

@lenquixote66 Lenny, a very happy birthday to your granddaughter. @dani negreanu Dani, you HAVE to know how excited I am to finally meet you on Bella 02!! Jack is looking forward to having some "down home" chats with you and your DH.
