Father's Day




I was really delighted to learn that everyone enjoyed reading Father's Day by Simon Van Booy, one of the many books my almost 90 year old mother - in- law has recommended to me! We missed those who were unable to attend our April 3rd get together at City Line Diner.The
sangria and conversations flowed, from our opinions about social media to meaningful quotes from the book. Just as Harvey gave Jason special "Father's Day" gifts, we had a lot of fun opening our "Book Worm" gifts and guessing which of our books it related to.

After six year old Harvey's parents suddenly die in a car accident, a very warm hearted, hard working social worker enrolls Harvey's uncle Jason to raise her. At first it seems highly unlikely that Jason is capable of being a parent. But the transformation of Harvey and Jason was an amazing, positive experience. As Jason states while visiting Harvey in Paris truth is "not what's written on a piece of paper or in blood too small to see --- but the memory of how it felt being together."

Thank you all for the great memories!
Happy Passover!
Happy Easter!
Enjoy our Spring Break!
