9:11 am

rururocks

hi doren...

9:11 am

Dorens

Arizona sounds like a great place to winter.

9:13 am

Dorens

I'm definitely busy with the grands - Phoebe, the eldest, is a freshman at Wellesley and I spent a great weekend with her up there. The youngest are 9 mos. and 2 1/2 and they live in Jersey now so I get to see them a lot. Turns out I have pancreatic cancer so I'm definitely making the best of whatever time I have left. We were all (9) in Jamaica Christmas week in a huge house with pool and full staff and it was a blast.

9:13 am
