The New Norm: The Drive-By Birthday

In the wake of these unprecedented times, COVID-19 has disrupted our daily lives, changed the way we interact, and caused pain and uncertainty for many. However, through these disruptions new changes have emerged that I love. Aside from having my family home with me, Zoom hangouts with friends and the invention of the “drive-by” birthday caravan have to be my fav. Though we cannot hug and kiss the ones we love, there is still an outpouring of support and devotion for our friends family and neighbors.

As "un normal" as our birthdays might feel like right now...it is so important to continue to document these joyous occasions.  


NewportOUT Event: Pride Cruise

I had the privilege to join up with NewportOUT once more and sail the aboard the legendary Schooner Adirondack II alongside the super talented Trailer Park Girls. Fun and merriment had by all who attended. We could not have asked for better weather on this gorgeous September day as we sailed across the Narragansett Bay.
