HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Goodbye, 2025: I am still enjoying cards and emails from many of you, amazed to see how everyone is growing and changing. I am so glad to be able to tell you that my daughter’s chemotherapy for breast cancer is over, and she is doing well. I am loving my (finally!) renovated living space. Had a great trip to the Netherlands in May to see an Anselm Kiefer exhibit in Amsterdam, then on to Paris for 4 days by Eurostar with my sister. Many Saturdays digging up invasives in Ft. Tryon Park with the volunteer gardening team and quite a few donations of blood at the NY Blood Center.

Hello, 2026: A trip to Rome and Florence in February (brushing up on my pitiful Italian these days). Volunteer gardening starts up again in March. Grandson Kieran’s wedding to Mary will be in October. And who knows what else the next 12 months have in store? Here’s hoping for all the best as we make another trip around the sun!
