My lovely, dear mother dearest came to town for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. As always, it was a delight. We ate and drank and walked our way through New York. We also took the subway allllll the way up to the Cloisters–and we were brave. We saw the King and I on Broadway–such a treat. I just love that musical–even if there will never be another King as good as Yul Brynner. And we went out on the town with my dear friends. I felt very special and loved all weekend.

Back to reality indeed. Sniff.
