Don’t Miss Me While I’m Gone!

My pal Dana and her husband arrive this evening from Albuquerque to spend the weekend.  We’ll be in NYC, my favorite city on earth (of the ones I’ve met), tomorrow.  Friday is prep day for the BBQ Bash, and Saturday is the Bash.  We’re expecting a small crowd of our family and close friends and neighbors, and I’m super excited about the whole weekend.  On Sunday we’re taking our company to Boston, and Dave’s been kind enough to send some recommended sights.  I haven’t been there since the last time my ex-fiance (hi, K.K.!) (yes, he found my blog ages ago.  Time I gave him a shout out.  Maybe I should give him a link.  Do you want me to link to you?) took me in, oh, 1989 or so?  Did you know I was engaged to someone before I married my ex?  Do you see how my mind wanders when I’m so excited?

Focus, Beverly.  Dana and Mike have never been to the Northeast before, and while there isn’t enough time for me to show them all of New England’s glory, I figured that our two great cities (sorry, one is slightly greater to me, but I don’t want to start any fights.  Yes, I root for the Yankees.  Sue me.) will give them a taste of how we do it here.  We sprawl into the sky as the land is so limited, whereas out west, Albuquerque in particular (it’s the city I know best out there), spills out onto the seemingly endless land. 

I haven’t been to NYC since I moved in 2004, and I think I’m just as excited to see her again as I am about this visit.  She got into my blood in my 14 years of living in Westchester, and I’ve missed her.

No segue that I can figure out makes sense here, so I’ll just dive into my exciting postal delivery today.  I ordered a WooLee Winder for my Lendrum two days ago, and it’s here already!  I’m stunned and delighted by the fast service, but it will likely be next week before I have time to try it out.

Which makes a good segue for me to say that I’m not likely to be online too much for the next week.  I’ll catch you when I’m back and hope you have a great week.
