Our Royal Wedding

This is the story of a handsome young man from Rhode Island and a beautiful young woman from Michigan who were both living in Los Angeles, CA.  He took her for a motorcycle ride to the town of Los Olivos, CA where, unknown to them, they were destined to be married.  They started dating and spent a lot of time together as they were working for the same editing house, at that time.  The young man worked his way up the ladder and out to partner with his co-worker and best friend and they started their own editing house.  In the meantime, he had purchased a house and she eventually moved in with him.  They were very compatible and lived together for a few years.  Eventually, they decided to enter into marriage.  Mr. & Mrs. Joseph C. DiSanto II

The Wedding was a very beautiful and

 creative event, held on August 6, 2011, at the Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse in Los Olivos, CA. It was at the top of the mountain and the view was spectacular!  The bride was stunningly beautiful and the groom was very dapper.  The Ceremony was touching and emotional as the sun setting in the mountains shadowed a beautiful silhouette of two tender hearts vowing to love one another forever. The celebration that followed was an evening under stars that seemed so close and touchable with music flowing from a melodious orchestra and singer's creative renditions of love songs, a delicious dinner and wonderful wines from the surrounding wine farms. It was a celebration that will always remain in the memories of the guests. 

     

One of the most beautiful love stories ever told.  May God Bless them and bring them continued good health, immeasurable happiness, joy of family, and everlasting love.

Peace be with You and Happy Easter!

Hello again,

I cannot believe it has been a whole year since I have entered a post. My life as a caregiver to my 95 year old mom has totally absorbed my life. I have been cooking fresh everyday and I will definitely share some of my cooking experiences with you.

In the meantime, I am wishing you a Pleasant and Peaceful Easter. May God's Blessings be with all of you.

Love and Hugs

How to Love the Children of Haiti
Member
By besesitos

Every now and then, the wrath of God and Mother Nature devastates an area of the World. It may be God's way of bringing attention to a situation and a country and it's people that need help. The people of Haiti, especially the children, have been brought to the attention of the Universe for a reason. Their level of poverty is unacceptable to God and something had to be done to expose the inhumane conditions of this country. How and Why should all of these people live so poorly, without running water, sanitation, and a level of cleanliness that is unacceptable for the rest of the world.

My contribution, is to use my bilingual children’s book, “Roger The Duck~El Pato Roger”, as a catalyst to raise money to help the unfortunate children of Haiti. What more appropriate tool, than a bilingual children’s book that speaks their language?
