Last night we hauled our cookies out to Armada! for a dinner date with friends that we haven't seen in a long while. Life just somehow gets in the way of friendships but they reached out to us to keep it alive. Hugs.
We entered down a long, tree lined driveway to a house that is anyone's dream. Not just because it is amazing and filled with unique pieces, but because it is filled with love. This warm home was built solely with a family in mind. And that's the best 'design.'
The children greeted us in the familial Italian way with hugs and kisses and the Mr. and Mrs. They were sweet, darling and engaged with us in indulgent conversation. The wine and food were succulent as I knew it would be. Roseann is the ultimate chef and dinner hostess and we ate-and drank until stuffed. She also sent me out with a generous carryout that I can't wait to tuck into.
I loved catching up with the Strong Patriarch, The R.N. Matriarch, The Bookworm!, The Lover, The Student and The Golfer. And the Doodle doggo-can't forget him! The respect, warmth and love of this family was as tangible and strong as the garlic in our delicious mussels.
Big thanks to the Cipriano's for sharing their world with us. You all are amazing and remind me of all of life's best things.
Love and friendship forever. XOXO
