We have been busy here on Calle Canta.
We were in New York for five days earlier this month, visiting our daughter Emily. We had a great time with her and Abigail. They met us at our hotel the evening we arrived, and after some champagne and tasty canapes in the hotel sky bar, we went to a lovely dinner at Rue 57. Lots of good things to eat and drink, lots of laughs and clever reparte from the girls.
The next day Emily met us for a visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, which were in full spring bloom, with the cherry blossoms in the starring role. The gardens were beautiful, the sky was blue, and a nice breeze kept it all cool.
Other highlights of the New York visit were two Broadway shows, Waiting for Godot and Blithe Spirit (we enjoyed both); the Museum of Modern Art; a movie (Shall We Kiss?); dinner in Little Italy at our favorite place there (Positano); a wonderful dinner prepared by Em and Abby at their apartment in Brooklyn; and lunch in Greenwich Village with Laryssa and Natalia. I also had a quick drink with my friend Stephanie Gaines, who told me that she had bought a house in the Hamptons! All in all it was a fine getaway. I hope we can go back again soon.
We returned to California two weeks ago today. Since then we have been down to Orange County a couple of times for family affairs - Bernie's birthday party, a wedding shower for our niece Nichole (I spent the day with Martin while L went to the shower). We had a small dinner party here this past Saturday, with Charlie and Nancy Walker, and Richard Del Belso and Mark Winkler. Claire came by later in the evening to say hello to everyone. Lynette made a terrific dinner (Talapia was the main event), and we all had a great time.
Joe and Marsha Grieco are coming by tonight for a little supper and a visit. We haven't seen them for a few weeks, so it will be good to catch up.
