I visited C, H, William, and their new arrival, Mimi. I was instantly in love. Both these kids are amazing -- smart, funny, and sweet. It made me nostalgic for the days, not so long ago, when I was surrounded by my two. But also knowing that the kids had suffered hardships before coming to the U.S. adds to the wonder. I think, too, I don't see any children anymore -- I miss it.
From C's went to a dinner party at an old friends house -- Ron, invited by older friends Kathy and Mike. Met Kathy's new dog, Maggie, who is cute, but also incredibly soft. Met a couple who live on a farmette in Mt. Vernon and raise chickens and goats. He is 80. She did not reveal her age. My only observation is that if I am lucky enough to live to 80, I want to be like him. Spry. Although I don't think I'm spry now!
We also walked to Kabota Gardens, a very large Japanese garden with fields of irises blooming in the water. Who knew irises liked water? It reminded me of a Japanese screen at the Met.
