Around 1990....




Thanks to Patti Kuhn for sending this image of us a couple of years after we moved to New Jersey.  Back when I was decorating Joel's room!  (Note posters right and far left of Vera Williams' work).

Very Social Couple of Days...



For Christmas we had Howard and Alice as well as Joel and my mom, followed by Saturday's trip to Brooklyn and the wonderful Brooklyn Botanic Garden where I loved everything but especially the Japanese garden and the bonsai room:

Afterwards, we walked around Park Slope  then visited Harvey and Adrianne at their house and went out to eat at a very pleasant restaurant called Soigne.  Joel leaves today--have loved his hurrying around, visiting friends, starting big conversations, watching various Die Hards, and generally filling a lot of space.  Sarah is with her family; the next time we see them they may be parents.

South Mountain Reservation 12-20-15


Joel  is visiting  (Sarah is in San Francisco with her sister and parents for the week-end), and we went for a walk in South Mountain reservation--bright and cool, and lovely.

MSW Gave a Reading from Meli's Way on December 12, 2015

The Ethical Culture Society of Essex County held a terrific little book party for my new novel, Meli's Way on Saturday, December 12. It was such a nice mix of my local writer friends and friends from Ethical Culture-- food, wine, wonderful questions that let me blather on-- so glad they invited me!
