I hope she enjoyed her visit as much as I did! She let me scan in a couple of her drawings from her recent New York visit:

I love the fact that both of my daughters keep doing art.

My niece, Emily,  took this pic of me and my Honey Crisp dessert at Cranes on Thursday.

Today is much chillier in Western Michigan. Down to the forties.

On the Media had two very fascinating segments on their show this week.
