Lovin the Big Apple!

Big Guy and I flew to NYC last Thursday to attend the wedding of his daughter. We have been having a blast! Grand Central Terminal, Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, lunch in a beer garden at the terminal, wedding at the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park, reception at a warehouse, today we went to the Frick Museum, the Tenement Museum, Chinatown and Little Italy. Whew! What a tour! We love NYC and will definitely be coming back for a longer stay.... Pictures to follow sometime next week - love to all Mo

This morning I went outside with my new best-friend, Kizzy. I noticed these birds swooping and diving around our house; they were yellow finches, every time their little bodies were faced towards the sun, their yellow chests glowed like polished gold, they were awesome. They have also discovered my pond, and now I can sit in the house and watch the games they play around and in the water. We put a willow branch across the pond so they could get in the spray of the fountain if they want. Sometimes it's seems like there's at least a hundred of finch there; stripped and golden, plus a few other breeds that I don't know the names of. Also, this morning, when I stepped outside, I was reminded of Columbus, Mississippi; when was the last time you thought of that place!? Something in the air reminded me of fall and winter down there, maybe the smell of wet dirt did it, I don't know!
I am alive, have no reliable phone or Internet connection, but am still kicking quietly away here. Enjoying the wonderful view! Hope you guys are having fun, t

Birthday Boy & Girls!

Kharsyn celebrated his third birthday at Chuckie Cheese in the Tri-Cities. What a deal that was! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. Lots of fun, games, presents and cake!

I had a two-day birthday. BGF Glenda and I went to lunch and then out for a drink on Thursday, and friends Marilyn and Mary Ann (above) and I went to lunch on Friday. MA's birthday was Saturday.

Hope everyone is doing well! Love to all - Mo

So, hmmm, let's see...the boys were over this weekend, Matt took them canoeing on Deep Lake, they had a blast! Hap starts hi-school, Hunter middle school and all report they had a great first day! Also, the project on the new doors is drawing closer and closer to completion, and I have extracted a promise that it will be done by Christmas, hopefully quite sooner! I hope that we can get together sometime this month, maybe you need some more plants??? Love to you all, t
