Sept 2011, We traveled to Cranford, N.J. today for a bitter sweet event. The tenth anniversary memorial to 9/11 was held at the beautiful park dedicated to the victims of that town. Lenny my husbands brother lost his life in tower 1. I felt him looking down so proud as his daughter Lauren as she read her own dedication. We all miss him very much.
August 2011, Our family trip to Cleveland, Ohio was a fantastic adventure. I thought C.J. was crazy when he insisted we go there. I loved it. The highlights were the Rock and Roll Hall of fame (we saw Lady GaGas meat dress) and The Christmas Story House complete with the "leg lamp". 
July 2011, The girls and I helped raise over $500 for the golf little league trip to nationals in California. Our stand was a big hit over the two day Valley Country Club member-guest tournament. The players loved the guess how many tees in the fish bowel contest.
June 2011, The PTPA run of The Sound of Music was a great success. My children had leading roles as two of the Von Trapp children, Fredrick and Brigetta. I spent many hours volunteering at the theater especially in the kitchen. The benefit was seeing the show at least five times.
