The last time I wrote I mentioned our new venture. Believe it or not, that’s why I haven’t written. We have been busy polishing, painting, prepping and cleaning up an old memory. All the while still trying to have a life and some down time. I have to say, this has been a labor of love.

About nineteen years ago, my in-laws sold this mobile that stands in Ocean City, Maryland. My husband and I recently bought it back. Lot’s of memories and reminiscing and thinking of the man we called Pops. He is no longer with us, but never forgotten. My husband and his sister tell some tales about the OCM. Some I would never repeat, nor could I. All in fun, I assure you! Even I had the opportunity to make some memories here. One in particular………uhhhhh, never mind that one. All I can say is, we were all young once.

There were some things that were immediate. I’m sure you are familiar, cleaning, scrubbing, moving, and all that goes with that. Once she had her bath, then it was time for some cosmetics. We still have plenty to do, don’t get me wrong. The projects we have taken on have really made a difference. The kitchen and bathroom were the worse, so we started there. Now I feel confident enough to have company and don’t have to apologize so much. There are more projects to come, but for now, it’s time to enjoy and have fun. Here are a few before and after pics.

With that said, company is coming!!!! Everyone that is going to be here has been part of this place at one time or another. Bagels and meatballs have been a long standing tradition in the family. My father-in-law taught me how to make them, and I am going to re-share that recipe with you. I know a lot of people that have turned their nose up at them. In the end, once you’ve had one, your a fan for life.

Here is the link for the recipe MEATBALLS AND BAGELS

I am wishing you and your family and friends a wonderful fourth of July. Please stay safe and cool. Most of all enjoy the freedom that we are so fortunate to have. God bless you all.

Til next time,

Ciao xoxo
