When Scott worked for the state before Kate was born, actually we were still living in our first house, he met Mike. Soon after that the two couples got together so the wives could meet and hang out. I remember clearly that we drove to their house on Maul St. in Newark. We all rode in their car to eat at Bravo at Easton. We had to wait two hours to eat so we walked around, visiting Pottery Barn, Harry & David, Crate & Barrel, and Restoration Hardware. We also visited a music store, Virgin Records maybe, and they bought an ABBA CD. After dinner, which was totally scrumptious, we listened to ABBA all the way back to their house. I can't remember if we stayed and played euchre or not but since then we have had many, many fabulous memories made with them. I am sooooo glad that our friendship with Mike and Pat wasn't just for a season. Our visits have been fewer and farther between, but they are as rich and wonderful as from the beginning. Pat's family is Italian! Could you tell? She is amazing cook and we love to cook for one another. She is a speech pathologist and can do all these amazing accents, which the girls absolutely adore. Of course, she can also sing and play the piano. WAY FUN!! Mike loves the girls as though they were his very own nieces!! He gets such a kick out of their antics. These are precious and selfless friends who came to spend an entire day with us when we repainted our cabinets. Mike is a designer. We are doing some updating and projects on our home right now and he is just itching to get up here and help us paint. I love it!
Kate, Anna, and Pat were just a'singin' their hearts out. Then Kate left to go on an adventure with Daddy and Mike to our treeline but Anna was soaking up the singing and playing from Pat. LOVE IT!
