Today was a day I look forward to each year. It was our annual girls day out in Manhattan with my friends from Tardy lane where we grew up. Each year the girls meet at my house and Meg picks us up and drives us to the city. We had heavy rains and flooding in my neighborhood and it was tough having to go around the fallen trees from last night's storm.

We had lunch at Cafe Fiorello and then saw South Pacific in Lincoln Center. Anne is turning 60 at the end of this month so we sang Happy Birthday and had a b'day cake for her.

That is my photo of the day.

Kathy and Megan stayed in our apartment tonight because they lost their power last night and it still hasn't been restored. They wanted to be sure to have a nice hot shower tomorrow morning.(Tom and Patrick stayed at their house with candles and lanterns.)
