don’t tell me the party is over

Some of you find it creepy, others quaint and a few are just plain sick of hearing about my balloons.

But I must tell you I just had one more celebration and when I got back the last balloon which was doing a jig on Friday morning  was dead on the floor (now what?)

After years of wanting to do it, I finally took my mom and daughters to NYC for the long weekend.

There is never a good time to do these things. But I learned that sometimes you just have to do it.

My best friend told me that she and her brother bought their mom and dad $1400  tickets to front row floors to see Barbara Streisand. Her mom told her the next day it was one of the best days of her life.

She died 5 months later.

I am not morose but I get it.

There are things we must do when we are able.

And that is what this was
