25 Trips Around the Sun

by Haley Fogarty

Sep 7, 2022

When I was growing up, my siblings always reminded me they dreaded my birthday because it meant the end of summer and the start of a new school year. My birthday is Sept. 3 and typically falls somewhere within the Labor Day holiday weekend or sometimes right after — on the first day of school. I’ll never forget the feeling of wanting an everlasting summer vacation while anxiously waiting for my birthday to arrive.birthday

Now that we are all adults, I think everyone looks forward to the long holiday weekend, and we can all enjoy time together, reminiscing on the summer that is now behind us and awaiting autumn weather and football season.birthday

This year was especially exciting as my family filled our beach rental home to squeeze out every ounce of sunshine left in the summer 2022 season. We packed as many family members and friends as we could on beds and air mattresses for Labor Day weekend celebrations that would include a 25th birthday party for me, hosted by my mom and two sisters.birthday

I celebrated with my best friend, Kennedy, who flew in from Nashville for the weekend; my family; boyfriend; and other friends that swung by for a cheers. The day was complete with hours spent on Margate Beach, followed by happy hour and a catered dinner from Barrels.birthday

Sunday brought a lot of lying around for the group as we got ready to pack up the rental home that filled with sand trickled in from the beach and countless post-sun naps for two months. We took one last trip to the beach with our puppy, Kahlua, to say goodbye to the shoreline for the season. While I was very grateful to have had this place to escape to, I am very much looking forward to soup season and pulling out my biggest sweaters from storage.

Homer and Janet by Homer Review

The Marais District, covering swaths of Paris’ 3rd and 4th arrondissments, has a distinctively gritty glamour that reveals it to be one of the city’s great incubators for new French food, fashion and lifestyle trends. It is here Moïse Sfez took on the challenge of creating street food establishments Homer in 2017 and Janet by Homer in 2022, doing it in such a way they both transcend the novelty of being regional American comfort food offered at stylized lunch counters matching up with New England lobster shacks and New York delis. Overwhelming local response and Sfez winning the 2018 Lobster Roll World’s Championship title in Portland, Maine, solidified him as a Paris restaurateur and one of France’s hottest culinary stars.
