Linda Loves Life

My good friends from Venezuela are coming for a visit!  They are coming to the States to shop for baby things – baby Carmine is expected soon!  We are having dinner – Greek, I think.  I can’t wait to see them again! I have known Dr. Willy (William, actually) since he treated me for tendonitis [...]

Hilda is a brave cancer survivor.  At this moment, she is waiting for news from a recent procedure.  What a calm, patient person she is.  I spent the night at her house – she just needed to have someone near after her surgery.  We are friends of the highest order – no need to talk, we [...]

Within four days, I attended two funerals.  One of my students lost his father – so tragic – and I went to the wonderful celebration of  his life that the family organized.  The service was in Pompano Beach at the Pentecostal Church.  Much of the family came from Jamaica – emotions were so high – [...]

I had a small gathering of old friends from Barton Elementary.  Even though we have scattered to many different schools, several of us have stuck together.  We caught up on news, gossip and plans – ate and drank wine – and had a wonderful time!  We all agreed that we should get together more often!

Doris, John, Joe and I went to the Octoberfest celebration at the German-American Club.  We had a great time – good food and entertainment!

Now that Hilda’s, (my good friend and neighbor), house full of company is gone,  she had leftovers.  Wow, is she a good cook!  She brought me some healthy soup, stuffed shells, Cuban pork, plantains, and best of all, flan.  Yummy – what a treat!!

My friend, (and heroine), Lidia gets TOTAL credit for this website!!  Every time I  need HELP or ADVICE or EXPERTISE with anything related to my blog, she is there.  I am SO very lucky that Lidia and her lovely son Douglas entered my life while at North Grade - they gave me this totally new experience which I am loving!!!!

Hilda is planning a big houseparty to celebrate her birthday and to welcome her grandson home after years of living in Italy.  The party is spilling over into my house for some extra sleeping space.  Enjoy every moment, Hilda!!

When I visited my friend, Janet, in Upper Michigan this summer, we spent several days exploring “Copper Country.”  Years ago, there were many working mines in that area but when it became too expensive to prospect and remove the ore, the mines closed.  Today there are some lovely ruins and lots of wonderful stories about the [...]

Welcome to LINDA LOVES LIFE!!!! What a wonderful thing technology is!  I am so happy that I have lived long enough and  ”can be taught”  enough to enjoy the benefits of something so special as my very own website.  Keeping my site current is  constant, and sometimes overwhelming, but always a positive challenge because it forces me to reflect and be [...]
