Hello, Today is Saturday and Tom wants to clean the computer room!. We also have a party at the Gimbels. It may take me most of the day to get ready. I haven't seen them in a while.

I hope I can talk to David today, he never answers the phone!

Have a good one!

Myself



My kids (aren't they handsome!) say I need to talk more about myself and less about them, here goes:


One of the things I love to do most is travel. I have been to twenty countries, let me see if I can remember them all:
  1. Mexico
  2. Canada
  3. The Bahamas
  4. Great Britain
  5. France
  6. Switzerland
  7. Austria
  8. Luxembourg
  9. The Netherlands
  10. Belgium
  11. Germany
  12. Poland
  13. Russia
  14. Hungary
  15. The Czech Republic
  16. Italy
  17. Spain
  18. Iceland
  19. China
  20. Denmark
  21. Norway
  22. does the USA count?

I think the most exciting trip I ever took was to China, where I met my son, Jonathan half way through his round-the-world trip. I spent three weeks traveling with him and it was truly a trip to remember.

One of the most surprising things about China was how friendly and helpful many people were. Some people would point and laugh when they saw a big western woman were-as others would come up and offer us help. Several offered to show us the sights, taking big chunks of their own time to show us their towns, universities, monasteries and restaurants.
