Maureen McKibban has returned from Connecticut where she visited with her daughter Kate, son-in-law Graeme and granddaughter Emma. Maureen enjoyed watching Emma climb up things and how Emma liked the Christmas tree. While there they went to New York City and took a tour of Rockefeller Center, watching the skaters and seeing the tree. It was a cold windy day, 28 degrees. They also walked down Wall Street, saw Tiffany’s (but did not buy), walked on Broadway, went to Ground Zero (very touching) and Penn Station, which is under Madison Square Garden. It was a long day but Maureen got a lot of sightseeing done. Emma opened some early Christmas presents from grandma. Maureen wishes Emma lived closer!

Have a healthy and happy New Year!
