Do you watch the Affair? I do and I love it. Season 5 began last night. From the beginning of this show, what I found the most fascinating was the differences in telling the same story from 2 different peoples point of view. If you are not familiar with the affair, the first half is the week’s story from one person’s perspective and the second half is the exact story from another character’s perspective. Sooooooo….Back to Season 5. Which is actually the last season in the series..so much is happening (SPOILER ALERT)
We no longer have Allyson.
We no longer have Vik.
We really do not know what happened to Cole. Or Louisa for that matter…
We meet an adult Joanne.
We learn that Whitney is getting married.
Helen will have a new love interest, oh and her parents are back…
I read that there is going to be 11 episodes for us to enjoy..I cannot wait!!! In the meanwhile, here are some pics from the upcoming season!!!
What is summer with out a Lobster Roll…I recently made these Bon Appetit Ultimate Lobster Rolls for a friend’s bbq and everyone said they were the BEST they have ever tasted. FUN TIP: I actually ended up making minis as an appetizer and cut the rolls in half. YUMMMM ENJOY!!!!!

UGGGGGGGHHHHHH This summer has really been a challenge. Life has thrown us some curve balls and its been really hard to focus. Yesterday we lost our sweet, beloved pug Rosie. She was such a sweet girl and kept us so happy for 13years. We will miss her everyday. She brought us so much joy!!!
On a happier note, I spent a few days in Southampton, our happy place, with my sister, when she was visiting. My parents arrived last Saturday night and we are hoping to get out again once before labor day (fingers crossed!!!!). I had to share some of my favorite photos from this year with you. I hope they brighten up your day as much as they did mine!!!
