Grand Central Station's Grand Hall (Looks like Prince Charming's Castle)

Eating a soft pretzel at Grand Central Station

I've had a busy summer.  In June I went to NYC with Arinda.  It was lots of fun and Arinda was a darling!  We never heard one word of complaint about anything.  However she did have a hard time with the tenement museum, especially when they talked about the babies dying and the poisoned milk.

At the end of June I was home one whole day and then Greg's girls came for our Family Reunion.  I'm really glad they came.  We went up to Flagstaff and stayed in Gina and Scott's house while they were at the lake in their houseboat. We came back home on the 7th of July and the girls flew back home on the 13th.  Anna came back out on the 12th to teach Master Classes for a Summer Intensive at Gina's dance studio in Flagstaff.  David and I went up to spend time with her and Gina.   It was hotter in Flagstaff than I expected (but still cooler than Mesa) and Anna was either very busy or wiped out from working.  David and I mostly just sat around and did nothing.

This spot was interesting.  If you whispered into the wall at one corner. . . .

You could hear it as clear as a bell in the opposite corner.
