A month ago, we were cleaning up from a blizzard. Now it is now, and thank goodness. Our rooftop deck is so pleasant and comfortable. We went to the park for lunch. It’s hard getting the sandwiches ready and diapers changed and out the door, but so worth it once we’re there. It felt so
It was the usual crowd and quite a delicious feast. She’s thinking about it. The day was bright and warm. Gifts: She’s entertaining her cousin.
