Back from New York

Last Thursday DD-23 and I flew to New Jersey for her job interview in Princeton. I got to see where she and her DH will be living, as well as Princeton University, Princeton Seminary and the HS that my DD will be teaching at. (She did get the job!) We spent all day Friday and Saturday in New York City. We saw SO much. Very fun!

We were walking through Central Park, came around a corner and saw a man down on one knee proposing to his girlfriend! She said 'yes'.

Hugs, you mentioned that you may be going there in the fall and I remember how much you like to shop. You MUST go to Chinatown for a handbag. Go until you see those little shops with the tacky purses displayed on the walls. When a man comes up to you and says "You want Coach? Gucci? Prada? Follow me." YOU GO WITH HIM! He'll take you to the good stuff.

How cool! DD wants to go to New York for graduation (she's only in 10th grade this next school year). I told her that if she gets better (healthwise) and does a good job acedemically I would send her. There is a summer art program at one of the school for girls that looks interesting, so i believe I will send her there. Will take that long to save the $5000 tuition, lol.
