Hills of North Carolina today. My sister Eve and I took a walk. Mom is in hospice now. Please pray. Today marks just one month since she was biopsied. We love my mother so much and have not left her side. TY for the help, love and support. We appreciate it so much.
Thank you for the warm welcome back. 😘😘😘😘😘. Last weekend of 2019. So nice to be among friends. I have had the saddest few weeks of my life, and before that, I was on a totally different weekday morning schedule.

With my 82 year old Dad, Jim, (which I never call him) at Thanksgiving. Please hold each other tight over the holidays and celebrate. I will never, ever take hugging or time together for granted again. 💕🙏

date! Special time (late afternoon 🤣) w/my sweetie pie. Traded in what Mike called my “iPhone 3” for a new iPhone. So darn funny. First portrait pic of the 2 of us, by Isabelle. 22nd year 2gether. ❤️
@mikemarzaABC7
Throwback Tuesday! My bro just sent me this. This is my younger brother James who walked me across the Sea Bright sand to my parents who both gave me away. One on each arm. 🥰

Romantic early bird dinner to celebrate our anniversary last night! Went to La Focaccia in Summit. Had to do dinner early so that I could get right to bed to be up super early to anchor the AM news. Isabelle took this 💕 gave us a kiss and then she & Jack enjoyed burritos. 🤣
Good morning everyone! Thank you so much for filling in for me this morning Toni!
@ToniYates7
I am healthy & fine at home with my family. No issues. Reporting from home now.
#stayhome
Take care of one another. Thank you for being concerned. All is fine here. 💕🌸😎
Good Morning! Back at work after a cough-filled week of my first bout ever with COVID. 2.5 years out covering it (masked for much of it) I never got sick. No fever, but aches & coughing. Anchoring sequestered & alone from a different building today. Be well!
#Monday
Cheers to a new start to the year! This was at La Focaccia restaurant in Summit, NJ. A favorite. BYO so we brought red and Prosecco and enjoyed a few sips. So wonderful to be together and relax as a family. They give me endless strength, laughter, support, hugs & kisses. 💕
Sept 13th my sweetie & I celebrate 20 years of marriage. Thank you to all of the Ch7 viewers who have followed us thru this adventure. Many have watched since before I was even engaged! I never wanted to get married or have kids. Sure glad I did an about face.

Dad is BACK. Came in on an EL AL flight yesterday morning from Ben Gurion. I sent an Uber to get home because I’ve been sick and that’s the last thing I want welcoming him back.
Double glasses on my head, nice breeze, sunscreen smells like childhood, XL Arnold Palmer in my chair drink holder, not too many people, knucklehead count is zero, & happiness quotient is off the charts. Best to u!!

Married my sweet Steve 19 years ago TODAY! Happy Anniversary sweetie. This was Mom trying to keep him from seeing me! Classic Norman Rockwell shot by Photographer Jeri Houseworth!!

I miss him too! This shot was taken six years ago if you can believe…
@abc7ny
@RobNelsonABC7
will be back making us think and laugh before ya know it. Busy being a good dad right now. 🤗😎
20 years of blissful marriage went by fast! So we blew it out with a huge family celebration in Santorini, Athens, and Paros, Greece. Where we honeymooned, although this time we didn’t go to Mykonos. Wanted more Greece, fewer tourists & a new adventure.

Ok! Make sure you use those 20% off coupons from a certain bed/bath store. We just saved $85 on a vacuum & then went to the drugstore & saved $26 on $33 because of store coupons. Some people say it’s too much of a hassle. I say it’s a sport! (I made sure Isabelle took note.)
Cheers! Happy 3:30 in the morning! Half asleep but 100% here for u! We’ll get there. How many days to Labor Day? Too few. But then we get the gorgeous, glorious fall!
My rescue pup Preshos is always on time to work! She comes down to take her place 10 minutes before we go on air at 6am. So so so funny!
#rescuedog
she rescues me every day! Curl up and join us. 😎🦞
@ABC7NY
TY Jack and Isabelle, Mike, Amy & everyone for the birthday love. You are the BEST. 50 feels wonderful!! 🥰.

HAHAHA! 😝😜. Have a beautiful day!
Worried for so many in Israel, including my father! He has lived there part of the year since 1968. First century scholar whose heart and work have always been there. Also, we have family near Tel Aviv. 🇮🇱🙏 And friends in Bethlehem & Jerusalem. May this madness end soon.
Wisdom teeth out. Not pretty or easy. Bruising & swelling to “Godfather” Brando levels. Extra Strength Tylenol and Advil and 🧊 ice packs getting me through it. Chipmunk cheek city. TY for your concern. If u have this ahead of you, maybe opt for anesthesia, not just 🤣gas.
Yasssssss! Eyewitness News holiday shoot! We appreciate all of our viewers so much and wish them as much fun as we had shooting this crazy holiday promo today. 💕😜

Happy Thursday evening! Headed to meet my husband for date night. We make a point to steal away every single week. Doesn’t have to be lavish, outrageous, or expensive. Just time to spend together catching up. Laughing. Maybe at the bar sharing wings with a beer. ❤️🤗
Happy 80th birthday Dad! Here he was at 78 on Christmas at our house. Looks same now. Does anything make us happier than to see our family members happy? Enjoy Dad! We did a zoom birthday celebration just a little while ago. We will all be together again soon. ❤️🙏🏼
My ❤️. Jack’s 11th birthday party outside was small and masked but meaningful. Before, during and after he said “thank you mommy.” Happy Birthday big man! I will cherish these days!
Took off masks for a moment — no one around — to snap a picture at the Avon Pavilion last night. Isabelle is taller than I am (I am wearing very tall wedges) and Jack is coming up fast!! They are 13 and 10 now. So much fun. And so loving, funny and smart. 🥰 Steve too!
Back-to-school shopping with my baby girl, nice lunch, plus a milk tea with boba, her favorite. These are the days to remember. We talked about all of our favorite things about our summer & how much we want it to stick around! Just a few more months! (Like 6 would be good.)
Cape May getaway with Dad. This was brunch after tennis on clay. We were hungry! Gorgeous weather. This was a special trip, just the 2 of us, to celebrate his 83rd birthday. It is up next week. Always make a fuss. (Who else loves The Blue Pig?) 😎 Eggs Benedict!
Happy Thanksgiving from the LOVE BOAT’s Ted Lange, who played Isaac Washington the bartender for 10 years on ABC. This made my day! He gave me marital advice about who does the dishes and who cooks and how you gotta help each other. So stinking nice! ❤️

Tonight: Jack, a strong All-American 25 year old w/ Coronavirus fights for his life in NJ. On ventilator. His CV test somehow was lost! Cost 5 days. Now there is hope w/an experimental drug.

Pray for Jack. 25!

Ok. Some see legendary Eyewitness News anchor Diana Williams. I see a friend who showed me and told me all of the wonderful things I might miss if my husband and I didn’t have kids. (NOT my plan at the time) Anyway, wonderful to see her again and tell her “thanks!” 💕💕💕
What a dear man. May he Rest In Peace. I am so sorry to share this. I wrote stories with him twice. He was so welcoming, humble, curious, gentle & observant, present & patient. I know you can imagine — he was the same on TV, working to the end.
@ABC7NY
Here’s the set up. Welcome to our home studio. Maybe check on your car. Either from lack of use or a light left on, our 18 yr old SUV needs a jump today. We haven’t gone anywhere. It had been weeks since we used it. Honda Pilot in rotation. Oy! Another thing to think abt
Cheers! ☕️
This is a coffee mug from my crazy sister, an attorney, in Tennessee. She has a wacky and witty sense of humor. Watch out for bears! 🐻 have a good one!!
Tennis with Dad. I hit it 🎾 somewhat near him and he runs me all over. I get a great workout and he takes out any issues on a defenseless little yellow ball. Our time together is priceless.
#family
yep, he is 80 btw 💕😎
@mcharlesworth7
My mom and I went to lunch this past Sunday. I was fearful that as my mom spoke in Spanish that we might be angrily approached by a nearby table of white people. I NEVER felt afraid before. I’ve always loved hearing languages other than English, now I cringe.
ARGH! One reason I take public transportation & the regular old train? To know WHAT is going on out there. Been trying to get home for 2 hours now. (Wish I knew a little less.). I feel everyone’s pain. Acutely.
Dad turned 79! Happy Birthday Dad!! Went for a walk together, shopping at
@JerseyShore
outlets at exit 100. (Always gotta mention exits
@NJ
) then a bite to eat and tennis 🎾 and hugs and hopes to meet up again this weekend. So lucky he is my dad.
#healthiswealth
Dad came out to see Jack play baseball in Flemington and then we went to Chimney Rock Inn and ate bar pies, chicken sandwiches, salads, and Dad had a chicken pot pie that he went nuts over!! Have a great day. Make plans to BE TOGETHER. 💕💕💕💕💪
I am prepared.
Professional. And I have been happy to make this happen without seeing on time video or prompter.
And I do my own writing and hair.
Thanks for the laugh!
@mcharlesworth7
your unpreparedness EVERY single saturday morning on the 6am news is not only unprofessional but unbearable to watch...ironically your salon perfect blow-out is always on point...i thought salons were still closed in nj🤔
Looking at old pictures. Remembering the sweet, light, touch of my Children’s’ little hands. So dear. I remember thinking “never forget this!!!” 💕💕💕

Spent hours in the ER last night. Broken nose for my 13 year old son Jack! Poor sweetie! He was at bat and was somehow hit in the face with a pitch. The ball went right in that small space between the chin guard that wraps around and the rest of the helmet. Pac-Man socks! 😎
Fuzzy boots traded for heels. Headed to the newsroom from the studio this morning and thankful that we have been talking about 50 degrees — not 5! Enjoy your Monday. I will try to get out and about today. 🌞😎😜 thank you Dixon for the snap! 📷
Anniversary (20!) family trip over, as we head home. So very grateful we could celebrate like this. We have had such fun, remembering who we were when we honeymooned here at 33 & 38, and showing our 💕 kids another beautiful place. Goodbye Santorini, Paros, & Athens! 🇬🇷❤️🥂
Last day as a 15 year old. 💕😊 sigh. My girl! We watched the sun set in Tewksbury, NJ. My sweet Isabelle is 16 today. So blessed to be her mama. We went to the Tewksbury Inn, which dates back to 1800.
Ok. Ahem. Just a gentle reminder that if people tweet or message me crazy, unhinged, negative, sexist, strange or otherwise inappropriate stuff I will block and report them and the message. Lol. Gentle reminder. (Why follow someone just to be nasty? Sad life.). Oh well! 😎
Ok let’s do this! Alarm went off at 2:30. Only up from there. Have a splendid day!! I am in the studio all alone. All is nice and quiet except for the hum of the lights, HVAC and computers. White noise symphony!
@ABC7NY
25 year old All-American athlete in ICU w/Coronavirus. On a ventilator. His family has not been able to talk to him for more than a week — in a medically induced coma for days. Pray for Jack Allard.
@ABC7NY
I so fondly remember walking in to work, clutching my coffee, tired & laying low — when Regis would call me out saying “hold it down Charlesworth!!! Get a grip!” & crack me & everyone else up. He did it to a lot of us. What a generous spirit.
@ABC7NY
Salad days of wine and roses and hydrangeas. My beautiful Isabelle. Just now. She just made a Caesar salad and made the dressing from scratch. I just got home from work. Have a lovely evening.
Made hot cocoa and coffee and breakfast are on the way. Thank you to all of the crews out there. Our
@abc7ny
crews. And the snowplow and sidewalk crews, the guy with the shovel, and the weekend warrior with the snowblower. We appreciate you!
Someone woke up!!!! Jack left me notes saying “you are my hero”, “you can do it, I love you.” I’ve been smiling all morning looking at them. He woke again with allergies and a bloody nose but ran down to kiss me. 💕💕💕💕💕
Missing Cape May!! So nice to be able to park and walk. And walk. And bike! Walk to shops, the boardwalk, lunch, dinner, beach, pool, theater, haunted tours, antique shops… ahhh
#CapeMay
(tip: it is fabulous all year round and a LOT less $$ If ya go in the Fall or Spring)
Isabelle dressed up to go to the movies with girlfriends last night and then came home to celebrate with Preshos, who turned 7. My babies. 15 and 7. 😜💕
Just about to eat dinner. Long days, two parents working, baseball practice, skirt steak on the smoker, I did roasted peppers in olive oil, salt and pepper… Happy summer! Happy supper!!
Sigh, u are such a pleasure to work with in every way! You have had me in stitches for years! When I got your advanced note all I could think about is how much we all adore you & want the best for you. Whatever your next chapter, I am sure it will be successful.

Ten now. We had so many boys over for a huge, insane, wiffle ball and kick ball birthday party for little big man. So stinking cute and so much fun.

Cape May soon to treat Dad right for his 83 rd birthday! Just us 2 chickens. 🐥 Spend thoughtful, restful, fun time together! Make a plan! Make a fuss!! Love you Dad.
Hahaha! TY to the kind person who made me LOL 😂 saying I am “rocking my best Jaclyn Smith” hair. Hysterical. A couple of people said “who?” — come on now!! She is the bomb and I am humbled. 😂🤣
@ToniYates7
Toni and I show up in the same crazy costume all the time (without coordinating!). Have a good one! Some cloud cover as the day goes on. Jackets. Soon enough sunny skies will be here with low 60s. Dani (also in blue!) let me know!
