One of the main reasons for my trip to the
US was to attend a Sweet 16 party for someone I am especially fond of; my cousin Denise’s daughter Deanna.
Dee is one of the nicest kids you would ever want to meet.
Not only is she sweet, beautiful, funny and very genuine: she is an excellent dancer and knows how to pose for a picture.
When I am in NYC I never miss a chance to visit the A family.
They always make me feel welcome and it is always great to be with them
, (Thanks to Ebby who gives up her bed for me!)Deanna, sister Ebby along with their mom visited my home in
London this past summer and we went on to have a blast in
Ireland (more on this later!). While in Ireland, Deanna taught us the
Chicken Noodle Soup dance, a feat I got to repeat at the party
( I should have practiced more!) A lovely hall in Brooklyn, my cousin Denise and her husband Donald put on an excellent party with a Mardi Gras theme. Deanna looked princess like in her dress and tiara. Jeff and I were honored when we were asked to light one of the candles on her birthday cake.The food and music was terrific but the best part was the in-gathering of family members. It was great to share memories and laugh again with cousins Bruce, Cindy and George. It was a night that went by much too quickly.
