January Thaw.

1-8-13 SHORT HILLS: We have survived the new year celebrations, the trip back to NJ, an unpleasant URI, the fiscal cliff, the beginning of January and my wonderful Birthday Party at Val’s in Brooklyn, given by Valerie’s and Alison’s families. The guests came from the far ends of the country. Most people had no trouble finding her co-op.

Judy made a beautiful speech, the kids and grands were funny and I did a Top Ten. I won’t repeat anything that was said and I seem to forgotten the number.

Here in NJ we have thin snow cover that is fast disappearing in a week-long January thaw. On the weather maps, it looks like the whole country is getting a thaw.


Val, Judy, me, Alison, Anna.
