My heart is so full today seeing my grandfather at the 125th anniversary celebration of Palagis Ice Cream. These are the moments you never forget.

Here’s a cool moment. My grandmother and grandfather (one of the original Palagi’s ice cream men) posing outside the new Palagi’s Ice Cream Shack that just opened in Pawtucket. Nothing cuter.

I’ll never forget the first e-mail that
@eniedowski
sent me after I took over for her as Comms Director — it’s been hanging up in my office since the transition started. Whenever I look up, it gives me a reason to smile.
Thinking of you today, my friend. Wishing you were here.

Let’s be real here for a minute.
Is this how she plans to talk to businesses and developers to bring them to RI?
Is this how she plans to negotiate with the GA to deliver a budget that helps RIers?
Is this how she plans to treat state employees?
Ashley Kalus is wrong for RI.
An Illinois contractor says Ashley Kalus called him a "pussy bitch," a "loser," and "Mr. Mom" in texts amid a dispute.
Kalus' camp says it shows she's a fighter: "Rhode Islanders are strong, not meek, and they deserve a governor as tough as they are"

Serious questions ahead of Thanksgiving —
How many governors DON’T pardon turkeys?
Do we think it’s time for Rhode Island governors to start the turkey pardoning tradition?
Will I regret this tweet?

And if you’re wondering — yes, she is always this cool.
My mom is 94 years old and, as you’ll see, she doesn’t miss a beat. I’m excited to introduce RI to my home team - my family - who keep me grounded while we work to tackle the issues that matter most to Rhode Islanders.

My heart is absolutely broken. Erika was my mentor, my friend and the best boss a girl could ask for. Everything I know about communications, I learned from her. She was truly one of the best.

The infamous McKee St. Patrick’s Day jacket is also back!
The Providence St. Patrick’s Day Parade is back!
Growing up, St. Patrick’s Day was always a big deal in the McKee house. Walking in this parade — even in September — reminds me of my dad and how proud he was of his Irish roots.🍀

Came across the perfect thing while cleaning out my grandparents’ house. A book of “Famous Valentine Proverbs” that my grandfather wrote for my grandmother.
Context for proverb 1: They met at Almacs in the V8 Juice aisle.
Who knew the Palagi’s Ice Cream man was such a romantic?

A very important CD1 debate question that I think the voters deserve to have answered: have you ever actually ordered from a Palagis Ice Cream truck?
(So far, campaign Twitter accounts show that
@Sabina_Matos
,
@gabeamo
and
@SANDRISCANO
are all safely in the “yes” column.)
Another great Pawtucket ice cream social in the books with Mayor

Are you ready for the story of the summer?
Can confirm that my grandfather is!🍦
A 1931 ice cream truck that’s been in the Palagis Ice Cream garage in Pawtucket for the past 40 years is currently being restored to bring joy to the communities in the future.

So I just discovered disposable surgical masks for kids which are perfect for my tiny child-sized face.
Also, they come with a zebra storage pouch and I don’t hate it.

And yes, for those of you keeping track at home that’s a cheese course, followed by a cheese pizza course topped off with a pasta and burrata cheese course.
