Sis and I drove out to Long Island to visit our Uncle Jackie--the middle one of our mom's three younger brothers. He is nearly 90. I saw my mother in his face, his smile, his wit. When I see Uncle Jackie, I remember my mother, feel connected to her. He is smart and kind and funny.
Beauty Notes
Beauty Notes
- Yoga class first, at 9:45 a.m. A heavy rainstorm made music on the roof.
- Sis's little beauty lady, Buttercup, came with us on the trip. Such a good doggy.
- Funny memories Uncle Jackie shared of our grandmother, Alice, who was a character.
- Lovely garden, leisurely lunch and nice big mugs of coffee at our cousin's house, where Uncle J. lives with her family.
- Majestic, historic Throgs Neck Bridge against evening sky.
- Sailboats bobbing on the water near City Island.
- Punchy finally spotted on the Camp Nyoda instagram account!!!!! xoxoxo, Punch
Good night to you.

Glad u saw P! And love road trips with my oldest sister -was thinking of her this weekend when we rented a van and moved Will. She got a friend to drive me to DC in her car, loaded with clothes and a clock radio. We stayed with my aunt and uncle, now passed. But she came down most years, stayed with me, and we went to see them. My other sister is 6 years younger, but M and I just 370 days apart.
