Sisters in New York City

 We have felt so lucky to have had visits from both of Curt's sisters and both of Mary's sisters this fall.

Curt's younger sister Shayla and her husband Jeff came from Shelley, Idaho to spend several days over Labor Day weekend especially so they could attend the Broadway production of Les Miserables starring Alfie Boe.  We enjoyed sharing with them some of Central Park and also some of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Connie, another of Curt's sisters, from San Antonio, came by for a short visit along with her daughter Melanie and darling grandson Kimball.

Mary's sisters, Liz from San Diego and Jeanette from Dallas, came to stay a few days with us as part of a tradition to get together every October to celebrate our mother's birthday.  This year she would have been 100 years old!

Here we are visiting the Cloisters, an extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which sits in a beautiful park overlooking the Hudson River.

Jeanette and Liz tried to squeeze in as many New York activities as they could--from grand opera to the Statue of Liberty.  Here we are visiting Zabar's to choose bagels and cheeses for breakfast.
