Raining Cats and Dogs when Sarah and Ethan drove down from Brooklyn with laods of cartons which fit nicely in The Reading Room - Nikki had a scare but is fine

Miles, thanks for your lovely card.

Neighbor stopped over with her two beautiful dogs.

Say hello to Jessie and Beaumont and Lady. I made up the names just now.

They were SO CURIOUS !!!

Receiver of fab pre-owned clothes. 

This in my Reading Room, which used to be Sarah's bedroom. Unrecognizable!

Unwrapping the painting from Ethan's dad, Sherman Iverson. Beautiful... and Scott liked it too. 

Ethan's turntable, which is playing the late Glenn Gould. Goldberg Variations. 

Sarah ordered ONE BOOK but four arrived. Same thing happened with me and GIRLS WHO ROCKED THE WORLD - Heroines from Joan of Arc to Mother Teresa by McCann and Weldon (females). 

Papa Bear relaxes after his once dreaded trip from Brooklyn. He borrowed Gordon's Toyota Rav which had enormous space in the back. 

Made delicious hot coffee called Velvet Cupcake from my friend Iris! I'll drink to that.

They say that as women grow older they often look like men. C'est moi, Monsieur Ruth Deming.

We love Sherman Iverson's painting which has found a new home in my Reading Room.

Sarah and Ethan lived in their old apartment for 16 years. The rent kept going up so they are moving.

Greed rules again!

But the greediest of them all will be defeated we hope in less than two weeks.

Last night I watched several late night shows, which were AWFUL.

POEM

The cartons are safe with me

What an honor - make that honour - 

To hold the bounty you've had, Ethan,

even before you met the love of your life,

our Sarah. No one would ever guess

the cartons reside in the closet of my Reading Room

as if they were hiding from the Nazis in World War II.

Nikki, So glad you're okay!   SOUTH JERSEY NEWS.........Nikki is fine.  She tested POSITIVE a week ago after having a week of total exhaustion and then a week of what she thought was sinus problems..headaches runny nose.  NEVER did she have cough -shortness of breath or fever

        YOU CAN BELIEVE WE WERE ALL SHOCKED.  Its a blessing that she went through her illness NOT knowing it was covid.

    I and the rest of her family are fine.  Steve Q & P all tested negative.  I had an appt to get test but cancelled.  I figured if it aint broke don't

fix it.   She's waiting for a negative testing, she took one Sunday but hasn't heard results yet.  STAY WELL SISTERS -BE VIGILANT AND

HAVE A NICE RAINY THURSDAY xoxo
