Auntie Jen loves this Birthday Girl!

There's no stopping her now...

It's safe to say, even us big kids had a lot of fun...


A few weeks ago, I asked my friend how she stayed so fit and healthy. What was her regime? And she replied simply, "I laugh hard and out loud every day!"

May I never forget to laugh hard and out loud each and every day!

September 11, 2010 - Honoring their memory...

View of New York Harbor from the South Tower Observation Deck - 107th floor (Nov 1995)

New York - 2,752 * Pentagon - 184 * Pennsylvania - 40

In our Hearts, we weep for you. In our Minds, we Honor you.

Nine years

How can something feel like it happened a thousand years ago and in this instant...at the very same time?

A quiet moment to remember 295 dear friends and colleagues.

Our lost Colleagues are, above all, our adored Children and Parents, Husbands and Wives, Sisters and Brothers, our cherished Relatives and Friends.

Nine years.

"Where were you when the World stopped turning, that September day?"

May Faith, Hope, Love and Peace prevail
