Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:12:59 +0000

Hands down, cute-as-a-button, no-bigger-than-a-minute, Donna Philips of Connecticut is a “foodie.” I’m not talking about a person whose conversation casually turns to food, but a gal who wakes up every morning thinking about what delicious delights she might be digging into as she plans her day, her week, her year, her life.

To me Paula Modarelli Cocozza of Fairfield, Connecticut is a grownup Gidget, as in the 1960′s show starring actress Sally Field. Something was always going on in Gidget’s life, she was vibrant and fun and had oodles of positive energy, just like Paula. One thing Paula has that Gidget didn’t, a wonderful infectious laugh. You could have a terrible day and if you were around Paula, everything would seem brighter. She’s just plain fun.

Sami Jensen of Poor and Pretty is just downright adorable. No bigger than a moment, this 23-year old UCONN student from New Britain, Connecticut, is bright and bubbly and exudes “full-speed- ahead-enthusiasm.” If Sami is what the future looks like in this current messed up world, we’re going to be in good hands.

We call it a Chestnut Tree but it’s really a Castanea Crenata (Fagaceae). Yep that’s the scientific name for this 1876 luscious monster, a Japanese Chestnut tree, growing in the front yard of the Bee and Thistle Inn in Old Lyme, Connecticut. It’s one of just two in the state. They’re monitored routinely by experts to make sure they stay healthy because they’re so rare in these parts.
