Some More Catching Up

I am in Florida right now, helping my mom after a surgery that she had. I hadn't posted about this because we didn't know how serious it was going to be, and I was not sure how much I wanted to share about her health on my blog (though she did say it would be OK to mention the surgery). Happily, the surgery went really well -- she had a mass removed, and it turned out to be benign, which was a huge relief.

Unfortunately, that did put a huge cloud of stress over Christmas, so our celebration in NYC wasn't what it would have been under ordinary circumstances. I'm just very glad that things are back to normal now.

I was able to help my mom upload her photos from the trip to NYC though, so I finally can share a few of them now! Nora -- at last!! Photos from our dinner together! :)

At Saks, posing with a giant snow monster on December 26th
With Nora, her husband and my mom at Gr-a--mmercy T-a-vern. What a fantastic meal, and what great company!! (LOL re the expression on my mom's face! Was someone goosing her?!) :)
Mom and Kenny totally hit it off!Nora looked STUNNING!! She is more than 100 pounds down and just looked absolutely amazing!! Major props to her for all of her hard work!
