One last salute to Salute

Dear Joe,


As of July 6th, Salute E Vita will close its doors for good at the original location.
I say that because IF I overheard correctly, the owner is currently scouting a new location to continue to stay in business.


Albeit, not in the same place sadly.


It is a beautiful place, that I will miss spending time at.


Yesterday I dragged mom with me for what would be our last dinner there; and I wanted to soak as much of it in as I could.


At first they sat us in the Bar area with a pretty view of the marina, but there was someone who was spending their birthday in the next nook from where we were and it got LOUD.


So I had asked for a quieter place to sit, and I'm pretty sure we sat in the same booth that we had sat in the last time you and I had eaten there.


Instead of having the requisite Lasagna, I opted for a Crab Ravioli that was pretty amazing.


I could have stayed there for hours, and would have liked to but we had to get home before the traffic got too bad.


I snapped a few last photos of what I could on our way out.


More than likely I will come back at some point to see what has taken its place.
To spend time near the water.
And maybe take a trip around the "Round a bout" (haha)

Please know that you were thought of, and wished that you were there with me one last time before it closed for good.


The memories I have will have to do.

Flex Watch’s

Dear Joe,

As an avid fan of Instagram, I randomly found this company that was advertising watches that benefited Military Veterans.

When I saw the airplanes, I immediately thought of you. And bought one.

and Voila!

Though its rather on the large side... It's cute.

Hope you are doing well

Roaming Gnomes

Dear Joe,

I have recently discovered and finally embraced Amazon.com, below is one of many things I have since procured whilst browsing for things one ultimately does not need.

I couldn't help myself... quite literally they will be "roaming" the planet by virtue of the boxes I tape them up with.

I really need to get out more.

Gnome Duck Tape

Maybe one day I can give you the box of things that I have collected for you over the years; taping it up with this glorious product.

I hope you are doing well.

Thinking of you always,

"Jill"

The most annoying sound in the world

Dear Joe,

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried... the best part is the guy selling the van is named Joe 😂

The 20 Year Binge

Dear Joe,

 To mark the 20th anniversary of Sex and the City, it was marathoned on TV this weekend and you bet your sweet ass I watched every episode!

It started on Friday night going all the way until 7PM this evening, and I pretty much shut my phone off and barricaded myself in my room only to surface when I needed to.




Sadly the episodes were pretty butchered in order to make the weekend time frame, or more than likely it would take 3-4 whole days to watch every single one in its entirety.

*would not complain about that*

It seemed kind of silly that I literally did nothing all weekend except watch a series that I already own (courtesy of You!) at any time that I want.

I guess it was a little more special that it was on cable once again, so it made it exciting.

I'm weird, I know

Anyway, Thank you again for gifting me the series so many years ago... I most definitely thought of you the whole weekend and the memory of when you gave it to me.

I remember the shrill scream I let out when you gave me that bright pink box <3

Sorry for the hearing loss!

But Thank you again.

For everything.

Love, "Jill"

A little bit of you, a little bit of me

Dear Joe,

 I found this image on Instagram and immediately thought of you... and me.

Quite an interesting take on "Mary"

I dig it.

Love, "Jill"
