Happy 40th Birthday to all of us!

How did you celebrate your 40th birthday? Did you feel any different? Make and resolutions? Send in your birthday celebrations and I will post it on our blog!

Here's a fun posting from Celene who celebrated her 40th birthday in style in Las Vegas! Read on...

"On the weekend of October 17th I celebrated my 40th birthday with 14 of my oldest friends so of course that included several Nightingale women. Elizabeth Weilbacher, Stacey Street and Emily Robbins all took the time out and traveled from distant places to help me mark this important event in my life. We really enjoyed reminiscing about those days in New York and ended up in tears on many occasions from laughing so hard. It was the best birthday I have ever had!"

Penguins, polar bear & seals, oh my!

Monday, June 30th, Hilary Kaye Kronowitz was in town with her family, through July 4th weekend, and we were able to meet up in the city on my day off.

We met up at the Central Park Zoo with her husband Lowell and their children Amanda (3) and Peter (7) on a very very humid day. I missed meeting their eldest son Jack (9) who had just left for camp in Maine the evening before.

When was the last time you were at the Central Park Zoo? For me, it's been ages, however, it was really pleasant and fun to see penguins, polar bears and seals in the middle of Manhattan!

Hilary, her kids and I walked down from the Central Park Zoo to the Sony Style atrium on Madison and met up with Hillary Smith Ripley. It was a nice mini-reunion!

Donating to Nightingale's Annual Fund!

I am calling out to all of classmates to join me and Celene in encouraging class participation of the Annual Fund which closes this Monday, June 30th!

As of yesterday our class was at 42% down from 52% last year and Celene and I would like to beat 52% this year! Thank you everyone!

Happy New Year!

I had a surprise visit from Mrs. Williamson and she brought Mrs. Seccombe who had never been to ABC Carpet! Mrs. Seccombe is having a book published and invited me to her book party in February. I will be sure to attend and take more photos of the NBS crowd.
