Good morning everyone and belated Happy New Year.
DH and I are having an incredible adventure in New York City. It's cliché, but there's so much to do and see - we'll be heading to go to one place and see something else and, on the way to that, see something else . . . it was actually exhausting in the first week until we learned to slow down the pace a bit. We loved all the Christmas "stuff" - amazing holiday windows, Christmas markets in the parks, marvelous Christmas trees and crèches in museums and churches, skating rinks, Radio City Christmas show, etc. (Paula, yes, PIX11 still broadcasts Christmas music on Christmas day - with video of a blazing fireplace.)

It's wonderful to just walk walk walk, although Winter has arrived this week and it's much colder. Lovely snow this morning. Planning to go to the 9/11 Museum today and maybe do some other things down in that part of town (including eating at a great Indian restaurant we found down there). Speaking of ancestors, hoping to get together with a cousin later this week who will take us to the cemetery where my grandfather and several other family members are buried - I've never been there.

DH is talking seriously about living here for 3 or 6 months - if we can figure out how to find a place (and one that we can afford). Since his mama died in May he's really been talking about moving away - esp. b/c some of the family dynamics have become quite ugly (a whole nuther story). I can't see living here "forever" but could do it for several months - and, you know, "whither thou goest" . . .

Just wanted to say hello to you all. One thing on my To Do list is to go to Argosy books - will be thinking of you!
