My uncle is turning 100 so I am flying up there with my youngest and we play to take the train into the city one day and cover as much ground as possible. That is my wish list of what to see. I don’t think I can do it all and I figure the Statue of Liberty will have to be seen from the air on our way in and out of Newark. She’ll miss 2 days of school around the weekend because no one asked me which weekend would be more convenient for his party. His birthday isn’t until February but the weather is too iffy that time of year. I’m willing to save Harlem for another trip.
We just sang Happy Birthday after mass today to a 96 year old who still ushers at church. For celebration, he came to noon mass with his wife. A long and happy life and he’s still going strong. I love hearing about folks who reach those milestones.
