Hi.

Welcome to my blog.

Don't Go

Somewhere over the last few months I lost track of time. No time to post. Lots of work. Too much work, in fact. But there's been a lot of fun too.

1. My mom came for a visit. Great fun. Our first trip to the Hamptons. Terrific.

2. Other beach weekends in Ocean Grove. Always fun.

3. 16 days in Texas. The best. The rodeo. Lots of pool time with the little ones. I taught Madison to swim. Jake says he doesn't like it, but he does. And then there's Leddy - she's the bravest of all.

4. Traci moved to NYC. It's fun to have her here and to watch her discover the city for herself. And then I think back to six years ago when I was new to this great big place.

And there's been some sad things too.

My sweet dear friend Amy lost her battle with cancer. Too young. But my gosh, what a force of life she was. I learned so much from her.

And two Kennedys - Eunice and Ted. Of course I don't know them, but I'm impressed with their dedication to service. To making life better. And I remember over 25 years ago listening to my grandmother tell me about the Kennedys. That's a good memory to have forever.

I'm not ready for summer to go. Not yet. Hold on just a little longer.
