The last few months have been a busy time trying to decide how to continue my journey of putting together pieces of my life. I decided to use the month of July 2022 to explore new places or places already visited. Last Sunday July 17th 2022, Dio and I went to the ChristLife picnic to…

It’s been a while since I’ve written about pieces of my life puzzle. (Please read: Why read my blog, About me, Welcome to My Blog) An important piece of the puzzle right now is the coming of my sister-in-law to live with Dio and me. Having her stay with us has meant revisiting my favorite…
Niagara Falls 2021
Twenty years is a long time for some people. But for me, I don’t know where they went! This past year 2021 gave me a chance to celebrate together with my husband 20 years of a marriage arranged directly by God. You see, I made a special-order request to God for a man who could…

Fairport Canal Days Festival June 2021

With four deaths from COVID-19 within our family, we were grateful to spend a few days together to create new memories. Vaccinations have opened the possibilities of outdoor events, activities,…
Why Rochester Became Home
Another one of the puzzle pieces to explore is my place in Rochester, NY. Like I mention in the About Me page, I was born in New York City in 1960. Though my parents were born in Puerto Rico, they met in New York City, had my sister and me at St. Vincent’s Hospital, and…
