Hi and a very Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! I am so lucky to have my dad with us and feel so grateful to have him as such an incredible role model. To. know him is to love him! And to my own husband who is an incredible dad to our three sons, they are so fortunate to have him. He has set the bar high. Wishing all the dads out there a wonderful, relaxing day and hope you are treated extra kind today.
We are having a lunch/dinner with the boys and Phillip of course and other than that, low key. Weather is….raining again, you guessed it! We were due to go out to Southampton but not in this weather. So my husband wants to go and buy a bunch of things for his garage and cars (his passion) and he will likely tinker in the garage for the afternoon.
Anywho, onward to my post this weekend…..

1 LEMON PASTA! I made this the other night and it was so darn good. I have made it before with peas or chopped up asparagus which is also great. I served this with grilled chicken and a big salad. It was like summer on a plate.
1poundfavorite pasta (normally its spaghetti)but I used what pasta I had on hand
1 ¼cupheavy cream- I only used 1/2 cup and it was great
½cupfinely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more to garnish
4tablespoonsbutter
2 ½tablespoonsfresh lemon juice (must be fresh)
1 ¼teaspoonlemon zest, packed
1teaspoonblack pepper
Salt, to taste
Basil for garnish (I also cut some up and put in the sauce,if you love basil)
In a large skillet, add butter, lemon juice and zest over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, let the butter melt and simmer for 20 seconds. Pour in the cream, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir.
Over medium/low heat, bring the cream mixture to a very gentle simmer. Once simmering, start boiling your pasta. Let the cream mixture thicken and reduce by about one-quarter while your pasta is boiling. Stir often. Cream mixture will reduce by one-quarter in about 8-10 minutes.
Add Parmesan cheese to sauce and stir over low heat. Drain pasta and use tongs to toss pasta into the cream mixture.
Serve right away. Plate with more black pepper, cheese, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
2. BEAUTIFUL HOME TOUR A stunning home tour, so. much to take in and observe, love the dining room chairs! Also love seeing that beautiful vanity made out of a piece of furniture, so pretty!
3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Such beauty, always sprinkled in with a healthy dose of blue and white.
4 FIRST TASTE OF SUMMER This is like summer in a picture. A friend stopped over and brought lobster rolls they were good (but I like mine even better) however these ranked high and it was such an unexpected treat. We then went out on the boat for a late afternoon quick ride and it was so nice to feel the sun beaming on my face, seeing all the boats out welcoming the short seasons of summer……
5 NEW ROBE ALERT! Somehow in our move, my two most favorite robes have gone missing. Think they needed up i some of our packed boxes and they are in storage so started hunting for a new one. I found this robe and loooove it! Of course that its blue and white, but its 100% cotton, very soft, great length and a perfect weight for summer. So fresh and crisp. Click here to see.
6 A HEARTWARMING STORY You know there are stories you come across that just tug at your heartstrings. Stories that you dont necessarily hear about all over the place, not viral stories. but beautiful stories about the hearts of so many good people.
I came across the story of Paulette Johnson who owns and runs her own restaurant, but closes down every Monday to feed, the hungry, the needy, the homeless, anyone who needs a place to go and feel welcome. She was inspired to do this based upon her own personal hardships earlier in life and I just found this story so beautiful and heartwarming. I think i want to start a go fund me page to help her with this. What do you think?
7 SUNDAYS SURVEY I was reading an article the other day about the definition of living well. And of course how that varies as we get older. Curious what you ideal definition of getting older is? Obviously putting aside good health and doing our best to be stewards of our own good health, what else defines living well to you?
And that’s a wrap for this Sunday! Hope you enjoyed the post- and love to hear from you. Wishing everyone a relaxing day hopefully spent with the special Fathers in your life! Until next time…..

I am so trying that lemon pasta- yummy! Right up my ally. Beautiful story you shared about the lovely woman who gives back. YES, please do something. I will be happy to contribute.
Want to thank you for your recommendations on 2 shoes and a pair of Roller Rabbit pj’s- all so fabulous!
Wishing you a happy day with the father’s in your life, Tina:)
Thanks for the fab home tour! So warm and unique! Lovely kitchen that has so much warmth and charm instead of the usual white. Every room has something unique to cast your eye on. And that “basement”! Just wow! A really special tour!
It’s so heartwarming to hear your appreciation for the dads in your life. And that lemon pasta? I’ve tried something similar with asparagus, but adding basil to the sauce is a great idea—I’ll be trying that next time!
A wonderful post which I look forward to every Sunday. My idea of a life well lived is spending time with those I love and getting a chance to leisurely pursue my interests, travel, golf and gardening.
The lemon pasta looks divine! Great for us as we are vegetarians, will give it a try.
Lovely story bout that women who owns the restaurant and gives back, if you do the fundraiser, I will be happy to contribute.
PS Got my first order from you ever and could not be happier with my purchase!
Your lemon pasta looks wonderful and not too difficult to make. I’ve got to try this recipe. for sure!
Father’s Day is a tough day for me these days. My father died almost three years ago, not too long after my husband died. My father lived until he was almost 101 years old, so he had a full life. But my husband died unexpectedly and I know the day is difficult for my daughter, son, and grandchildren. I try to keep my husband’s memory alive by not being afraid to talk about him to my grandchildren. Timing is everything.
Your lobster sandwich and boat ride sound like the perfect way to spend the day.

I absolutely loved the YouTube video of the beautiful home in Nashville with Mark. There isn’t a thing I would change! I want to move in immediately !
