Life has been, and continues to be, wonderful.  I've enjoyed life and photography since I was 17.  Photos have enabled me to do a journal of my life and times.

My website includes lots of photos and videos of our family, homes and friends over many, many years.  Frankly, I'm proud of it all .. Family, Friends and all of our many blessings

Anyone interested in seeing what it's all been about can view our web pages. The pages showcase it all, so I don't need to showcase it all again.

Now in our Golden Years, we have learned what we like and try to make it better every day.  

Although I won't be doing a monthly Status Update, I will continue to take photos and videos of our special events and exploits.  I've already begun a new Playlist on YouTube to include our ongoing times.  So, you can view our photo journals to keep up with our life and times.

Our Winter, which is more like early Spring begins about the 1st of January and lasts about 3 weeks.  Then, it's time to have fun in the sun.

Enjoying our signs of Spring .. family, food and fun in the sun. Martin Luther King holiday weekend was our kickoff this year and it was great!

Checkout some fun memories of our 2018 adventures.

The Christmas holidays are and always have been special, we really get to enjoy our Family, home and Friends.

The holidays are my most favorite time of year. I'm including some fun memories of years gone by. Watch for updates as the holidays grow near. We're planning on doing our celebrating out and away, no shopping .. chopping .. cooking .. cleaning (lol), just enjoying time together.

Best Wishes for our Family and Friends for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This is my last of my monthly updates. Beginning in 2019, I'll only be posting for new and different events in our lives, i.e., birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc.

You can still view my Facebook page which I use as a daily Journal. This includes lots of memories and personal interests. Beware, I post lots and lots (lol)!

Thanks for being there with us thru the years.

Moments to Remember

October is gone, but we're already looking forward to a quiet November. Checkout our show "November at Home".

Like most, we'll be celebrating out for Thanksgiving at Hacienda Del Sol for Thanksgiving. Watch for updates during the month. View our memories of prior times at Hacienda Del Sol.

We'll also be heading to our timeshare, the Desert Oasis for 1 week on the day after Thanksgiving. We're also celebrating again at the Desert Oasis, but more about that in December. Besides Christmas, we'll be celebrating our Wedding Anniversary (12/29/82) and New Year's Eve again!

Holiday time is also a time to remember Family and Friends, as well as all of our blessings. Checkout memories of our adventures.

Dinner with Anh and classmates, then lecture by Art Gensler

We relocated to Tucson from Manhattan on October 1, 1999. And, we begin our 20th year on October 1st.

Like many others are often heard to say .. "Where did the time go?"  Well, time  passes when you're having fun.

All of it has been an adventure, but in many ways the last few years have been especially interesting. Come Thanksgiving, we'll have moved into our home 7 years! Come August, we'll have bought our home in the Adirondacks 4 years! And, perhaps the most interesting, come November we also begin our 20th year of our Timeshare in Scottsdale.

Our daily routine at home .. lots of food and fun in the sun!

Still enjoying memories of Summer

Sister Eve is enjoying her visit with us. Check out my photo album for some fun sights. I'll be adding lots more photos to our photo album. And, you can view my photo parade of our fun in the sun.

We thank God for our Family, home and many blessings. On our last weekend with Eve, we enjoyed our long time tradition .. and Eve made the meatballs!

As we reach the end of October, I created a photo parade of our current times. This includes some photos of our home and gardens. Weather's great, as usual .. reaching the low 90's.

Hiking at Tumamoc Hill ?

Visit to Taliesin in Wisconsin ????♥️

I've been working on our website for years to include lots of photos and videos with family and friends. As many know, the past 2 years have especially been busy showing our life and times in both homes, Tucson and Schroon River as well as our vacations and Road Trips.

Sister Eve will be visiting in October and I'll be adding memories of our exploits and adventures together. It's always fun to catch up and enjoy time together.

November is Thanksgiving, which we'll be celebrating at home and then our Get Away in Scottsdale for a week.

December is a very special month while will include our Wedding Anniversary, and another holiday vacation in Scottsdale.  We're excited to be seeing it all again for the Christmas Holiday.

Since our life will continue as it has, I'll be ending my frequent monthly updates and doing only Status Updates. in 2019, i.e., holidays, celebrations, etc.  I will continue to post our photos/videos on YouTube but also with less frequency.

I have also been developing a special FaceBook page to include "Memories of This Day", which allows me to see recent highlights during the year in chronological order. I've especially enjoyed seeing some of our fun times over the past 2 years. Since we returned in December, this page too will be ending. Our website contains lots of monthly updates for both years.

Thanks for viewing.

We’ve been back from our adventures in the Adirondacks and home now since December (9 months) enjoying our Endless Summer.  Life will slow down even more until the holidays, but we enjoy it all.
​
Come October 1st, we will have relocated from NYC to Tucson 19 years!
​
Time marches on.  Be adding lots more memories to our website during September.

September brings cooler weather and lots more fun in the sun. We're having a Labor Day Weekend with Family and Friends. I'll be adding lots more memories and music over our Holiday Weekend.

Our holiday weekend was very enjoyable, but the highlight was our Labor Day BBQ and Pool Party.

Our guests this year were Aaron and Kristina and Da Girls. Weather, food and fun filled our afternoon and evening.  We're hoping to do lots more of it all. Non-stop eating, swimming and chatting made it all go quickly.

Frankly, although our home time is very much the same as we enjoyed today, it just won't be the same .. looking forward to lots more time together.

Checkout our photos and my slideshow.

We continue to enjoy September. However, Monsoon Season brings rain and lightning, and the mountains overlooking our home were struck by lightning.

Checkout some photos and videos .

Son John turns 34 today, and we're out to enjoy the day with him.  We enjoyed playing Tennis in the afternoon and then dinner out at Wild Garlic.

Checkout my photo videos and click here to watch us singing "Happy Birthday" 

Paulina, Lucky and I enjoy being out and about .. especially the gardens and pool deck.  Our mountain vistas are stunning!

Like most, we're sharing our 4th of July holiday with Family and Friends. 

The plan is to make some Corned Beef and grill the burgers and hot dogs, then spend time in the pool during the day.

The community will be doing our annual 4th of July fireworks too.

​Watch some fun photos of the day.

We’re welcoming Our Family to our favorite place .. our beloved home and this year’s “Good Time Holiday BBQ” 

Some years it's just been us, and other years we've had a house full. Regardless, we always make more food than needed and enjoy it all weekend.

This Event is our biggest and most fun, which we’ve enjoyed now for many years! 
We’re excited about the upcoming 4th of July holiday. Planning on our smoked Brisket and some comfort foods for our family and friends

Home set for some good times in our gardens and the Outback, with great views of the evening’s fireworks

Like always, I’ll be updating our website for our online visitors
Hoping everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend, enjoy 

Adding some photos and videos of our days in the Rockies. Be adding photos of our actual celebration of the 4th of July, watch for more. The only left to show is our munching and crunching (lol).

Had a great day. Enjoyed much of the day outdoors. Then, we headed out to celebrate with Da Kids.

I was a son for 65 years and now a Father for 33+ years. Both being a Son and a Father now enable me to value it all more than ever before.

The single biggest thought now is just how much Family and Home mean, then and now.

Family and Friends have passed and/or moved on .. but one's home and immediate family is with you until life has ended.  Fortunately, we had the time and opportunity to share all of our blessings over the years.

Paulina and I have over recent years, expanded our circle to include lots of new places and faces, and it's all been truly wonderful. However, we (like most) enjoy our family and home times the most.

We're dining out for Father's Day, watch for Father's Day .. "Dolce Vitae"
