Cheryl, we love New York.  How super and convenient to have a good friend on Statton Island.  The two of you can do some serious sightseeing and maybe a bit of shopping? :)  New York shopping is the best&#33;   So glad you had a good nights&#39; sleep - it sure makes all the difference, gives you pep in your step&#33;<br />

Mary Lou - what a lot of fun shopping for prom dresses for the two girls.  I remember my daughter doing exactly the same thing..... eventually choosing just the opposite to what she had in mind.  Hope you&#39;re not too exhausted after all that&#33;<br />

Charlie, did you eventually get some rain?  Boy it seems after all those wild fires that California could use a good soaking rain.
