June 2013

Well, as long as I am catching up - let's see what June has in store, shall we?  Firstly - it's been a whole year since I broke my arm and wrist - and it is doing pretty well.  Still stiff from time to time, but I have about 90% usage so I can't complain too much!!  I have enough strength that I've let my hair grow longer again and you need wrist strength to hold the hair dryer!!!  Now - what's happening this month??

First, a lovely play with John Turturro playing the lead role.  He's a famous actor, and his wife played his wife in the play!  The Master Builder is an Ibsen play - you will learn about that playright in school.

Then my friend's birthday, so we went to Hastings-on-Hudson and stayed with friends in a HUGE mansion with 27 rooms overlooking the Hudson River.  It was quite special!!

We saw The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary concert in Philadelphia, going there and back on a train.  Then went to see Swan Lake, the ballet - a magical experience.  We had some other plays and movies too.

But the best thing is making plans for vacation this year.  We are chartering a big sailboat and cruising the islands around Tortolla where the pirates used to live.  Maybe I'll see someone with an eyepatch and a sword??

You have been on adventures too.  I hope you remember me, Taylor, and you can tell Emmerson what it was like to have a grandma who loved you SO much.

Love you and miss you my darlings,

Grandma
