Chloe and I are in the city today to meet with my long time best friend visiting from Hong Kong! It was so good to see this girl who I missed so much! Afterwards Chloe ran into her close friends from school and we ended up having coffee with them and their mom. THEN, I also ran into my ex-coworker from back in the day in SOHO! What an unexpected today turned out to be! In the best way!

We enjoyed this 3 hour drive to Dubrovik not just because the scenic was so beautiful but also because our driver named Buddy was so knowledgeable about Croatia’s culture, history and the current issues we learned so much about his country. I could tell he is really proud of his land and loves living here. He also shared us about his family and how he grew up, we just enjoyed talking with him the whole ride. Andrew, who initially was sitting in the back of the van, actually moved up to the front passenger side so he could talk to closely. He seemed like such a hard working, honest young man and towards the end of the conversations, Andrew was even giving him financial “advices” too. 🙂 It was so nice meeting you Buddy!

I finally took my parents to Elia which is my favorite Mediterranean food in NJ for belated Mother’s Day.

My “Life” group ladies and I volunteered today with City Relief in Paterson serving the community. It was usually cold and rainy day and we were freezing, not properly dressed for the weather, but we did what we were tasked to do with a servant heart. I got to witness someone who just walked up to us for food and drink at first but left becoming a part of our God’s family. Praise God! What a blessing day to be in the company of these amazing people…

Thanks to my friend Julie who was invited to Hermés Event at American Dream mall, I got to be her plus one and had the most fun night ! We felt like we were strolling through streets of Paris, eating delicious food while listening to great music. What a fabulous event!

Until we meet again!

We had so much fun walking around  Hudson, NY all day. We had lunch @ Feast & Floret, ice cream @ Culture Cream and more dessert @ The Maker Hotel. We went shopping, eating out way through Warren street, antiquing, catching up on life and making future plans to see each other more often. What an amazing day we had! I haven’t been feeling myself lately after all the health issues and still coping with post covid symptoms but I completely forgot about all of that, and felt great for the first time in a long time!

We flew to Arizona this morning, just me and Andrew, to celebrate our friend Tina’s wedding. Rehearsal dinner @ The Gladly
