Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

  Is there anything more perfect than some time spent at a beach? A little while ago, my family and I spent the afternoon at Williamstown beach. It was a bit cold so I rugged up in my big, fluffy coat, hat and boots. It was so beautiful and relaxing being by the blue wate r. After losing my nonna, it has been a sad time of grief for my family and I, so this peaceful trip was really wonderful. We visited an ice cream shop called Will's Batch Ice Cream . Their ice cream was quite expensive at the price of $8.90 but it's natural and handmade in small batches and also very delicious. My sister and I shared a cherry ice cream, and the second flavour we picked was matcha, with the bright green colour you might see peeking out underneath the cherry ice cream.  We had a lovely stroll and admired the very calm water and beautiful sky.

  We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday And days before that, too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.   - Rose M. De Leon Rest in peace my beautiful nonna. My family and I always knew we had the best mother and grandmother in you. You gave us so many wonderful memories from childhood into adulthood. Every moment spent with you was memorable and special. We were always blessed to love you and be loved by you. For the next few weeks, I won't post any blog posts.  I'll be back and see you at the end of the month. X
