Here's an email from Hilary that I received this evening:

Hi Mary,
Hope you had a nice summer. We traveled a bit and enjoyed the break from our usual routine. How are things going with you? Did you take any vacation, see any one special?

The Blog is great. I have not posted to one before and am not sure how to do it. So - if this photo can be added - great.

You can add some information if it works - Just the basics I guess - I moved from NY 2 years ago and am living with my husband, Lowell, and 3 children in Savannah, GA. Jack is almost nine, Peter is 7, and Amanda is 18 months old. We bought a family business down here. I am home with the children and working part-time.

That's about it.

Thanks for setting up the blog.

My family: Amanda (18mos.), Me, Lowell, Peter (7) and Jack (9) in Savannah this past July 4th

Sorry for the late posting... I saw Sasha Lazard in April walking through ABC Carpet and ran after her to say hello and of course had to take a photo of her. She looked great and was pregnant back then. I also told her that I was a fan of her cd "They Myth of Red".

Several months go by (3 to be exact - July), I am walking up Broadway and on the corner of 84th Street who should be crossing the street but Amy Lassar and her husband Scott. We ended up talking on the corner for the next 45 minutes it seems. Amy and Scott were on visting the East Coast and had just gotten back from Maine with their kids. It was great to see them and they still had some travelling to do before returning to L.A. Amy also mentioned that Celene had stayed with them when she visited L.A.

I bumped into Laura Mann, NBS '89, at the New York Intl Gift Fair which was held at the Javits Center. She immediately recognized me as someone who went to Nightingale and it took me a few seconds to recognize her... Laura is pregnant with her first child and keeps in touch with Dana Thurston NBS '89. Laura was talking with a friend of mine, Robin Kramer, sales manager for Dogeared Jewelry (www.dogearedjewerly.com) in Los Angeles. Dogeared Jewelry makes great gifts for women of all ages especially young girls!

Just read an email from Heather McLaughlin who wanted to share a bit of news... she and her husband are expecting their first baby... probably within the next week!! Has anyone heard from Cameron Paynter who was expecting in August?

Dear Hilary, in mid-August I photographed a friend's wedding in Rochester, NY which was a lot of fun as I was THE photographer for the entire event. It was great hands-on experience to be thrown into the field. This month I have two weddings: This weekend I will be in Greenport, LI where I am a guest along with the photographer for a friend I met at a lecture last year. Next weekend the wedding is in Richmond, VA for the son of a dear friend of my parents.

I am looking forward to the holiday season at Cursive New York. If anyone is in town I would love to show off this great store!

best,
MK
