Whirlwind
April 11, 2012
Last week I traded my mountain view for a view of the beach. While the blue is as beautiful as the Caribbean, this beach is further north and not nearly as balmy. I have no complaints as seeing family and friends, plus walking on any beach, is heaven, as far as I'm concerned.
Wrapping up in warm coats and scarves was the best way to weather the wind.
Friday we drove to New Hampshire to celebrate Passover with family and had a little stop over for lunch at Teresa C's. Carole, Kim and Laurie (in a surprise visit) were able to join us and it was so wonderful to see them.
Terry makes a mean martini (in a very pretty glass) and we grrls had a happy afternoon.
It all ended too quickly, but it was fun to hug a few grrlfriends and celebrate 90 years young with a fabulous man.
Here's to you Uncle Bob! We should all live as well and as beautifully as you do!
I'm so glad we were able to coordinate that visit despite your other commitments to family. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again.

It was heaven. Did you know you are photogenic in whatever setting Smith puts you in? I thought it was just the mountains :) Happy birthday to Uncle Bob!

So glad you had such a wonderful, whirlwind trip! Looks like a great time all the way around. (And it looks like Uncle Bob had a marvelous birthday celebration, too.) Here's to a smooth "re-entry" to your "regular life!"

There you are looking cute at the ocean. I'm glad you're back, though.
