Party

It is a rare day I’m not in the studio.  This weekend had some chances for socializing and being with family, on Saturday, my step niece turned 18, and my step sister threw her a lovely party in a facility in western NJ.  The drive out west was beautiful, and the party was, well, very 18!  Next to my mom, I was the oldest female there.  🙂

At one point the room full of 18 year olds, emptied as they all went out side on the terrace, and the couple of us there over the age of 40 (over 50 for me) took full advantage of the DJ, dancing like we were 18 again, to things like ABBA’s Dancing Queen.  Even my mom at 78 got in there, saying, “If Meryl Streep can do it, so can I!”

This is a photo from the party of my mom, my daughter and me.

I’ll see my mom again today (twice in a weekend is really unusual since she lives in Maryland) when we head down to Philadelphia in a couple hours to see a theatrical production.

Later yesterday evening, we had a visit from the accountant, yes, mine still does housecalls.  We have used him since I first started my business in 1980, and he knows how to make sense of my paperwork and bookkeeping.  So the taxes for last year are done, all that’s left is for him to produce the final document, sign off, and send off to the IRS.
