Jac and I bought this Jack-O-Lantern TEWNTY NINE YEARS AGO in Marblehead, Mass….We were there for her sister Marianne’s wedding. We were looking at all the charming shops in Marblehead and spotted this guy. In all of these twenty nine years he has never stopped saying “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!………………A Happy Halloween to all!!
……………When ever I see photos of my nephew and Godson Christopher, as a young child I remember why I used to, and sometimes still do…..call him….Christopher Robin…..It’s always a joy for me when he comes to visit his Uncle Louie…..It never fails……I am always surprised to see how this scrawny, gangly, skinny little sweet boy with the blue eyes grew up to be this 6’2″ BIG massive man. He can literally pick me up and carry me around! He is one of the sweetest, most kindhearted people I know….He is loyal to a fault, and always gives 100% no matter what he is doing. He’s just a wonderful, sensitive human being…….Chris arrived on Saturday afternoon, and we went to one of our favorite stores…..”Terrain” in Westport Ct…..We are both suckers for candles and soaps……anything that smells good…He likes anything with lemon……We went for an early dinner at Cafe Silvium in Stamford….considered to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Ct…….Then we went home, and sat by the firepit….It was a perfect night. The day broke records for its’ 80 degree plus temperatures, and the evening was extremely mild……There was a beautiful FULL MOON that kept darting in and out of the clouds….It was magical to look at…..My home has become a respite, an oasis where Chris can get away from everything and everyone, and just be at peace……I am grateful that I can offer this to him……Peace of mind is an important thing…..In the morning we met Lou at a local diner and had a wonderful time….the food was good too!
………………..In my previous post about Jac and her dear friend, ELENA, I mentioned this photo which is one of my most favorites, and was taken by Elena…..We were sitting at an outdoor cafe, in the shade of the trees, enjoying a cool drink and some ice cream…..We had spend the morning at the “PLAKA”, which is the Greek equivalent to the “Flea Market” in Paris……”The Plaka lies in the shadow of the Acropolis and its’ ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes, local ceramics and sandals. Sidewalk cafes and family run tavernas stay open until late, and the Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco…..Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek island vibe”…..It was a brutally hot day so we started out early in the morning…..We went from one shop to another…..In one of the shops was a well know sandal maker. The wall of the tiny shop was covered with different style sandals all hanging for display, and pictures of ALL the celebrities and famous people who bought sandals from him. It was a who’s who of well know people. I recognized Jackie O’s picture right away…..I thought it was funny that he had it hanging next to Maria Callas! He made custom made sandals for clients too, but we bought his ready to wear ones and they were great. Typical Greek sandals with lots of straps criss crossing the foot. After shopping and walking the streets of the Plaka it was time for some refreshments and a soft shoulder to rest my weary head upon………Elena caught the moment beautifully!
