More grown up weekends

Friday night Arnie met me on the upper west side so that we could grab a quick burger at an outdoor cafe on steamy Broadway and watch the unending parade of people. Then we walked home through Central park and it was just exquisite with amazing light. I need to remind myself to bring my camera because it all looks so different at twilight than it does at 8:00 am with Miss Murray.

We got our first letter from Kate happily and busily in Maine having amazing amounts of fun, according to her. But there is this wonderful line in her note: "I'm having so much fun. You guys cannot possibly be having as much fun without me as I am without you!" then she asked if her hamster was stilla live. I must have said this before but sending Kate to camp -- and this is her 5th year at camp -- made me realize what a blessing that must have been for my parents. I could wreck havoc with any family outing, especially when I was around 13,or 14. I would not want to go, pick fights with people and general act out like a bad seed. I am always sad to see Kate go to camp, miss her madly but appreciate the one on one time with Arnie and then am thrilled to have her home again.
