Dear If readers,

The last couple days have been very hectic but filled with reunions of dear friends in New York City.  We attended 2 music cruises aboard the Circle Line that my husband still owns a partnership in “Rockin the River” on the Hudson here in New York City, Pier 83.  Since my husband and I met 15 years ago, our lives have been filled with music, movies and books.  And I love the music and what it adds to our life so very much.  And now with our sons.

Each night on Tuesday and Wednesday friends came aboard the boats as our guests to dance, catch up and see one another after a long winter abscence.  Wow.  It felt wonderful.  The first night, some IF creatives came out.  I cannot give If mag contributors enough thanks, music, gifts and hugs for what they do for the magazine. I cherish them.  It was a lovely night.

And then last night Wednesday, all our 2nd floor Armory neighbors and even our tenants for our apartment came out for fun and dancing. Some of our neighbors and their children and our sons have grown up together since they were tiny babies in diapers.  And last night, Francesca, Will, Gabby, Jackson, and my Jackson, Brody and Lola danced the night away as 3 year olds, 5 year olds, 8 year olds and 9 year olds.  My niece and sister in law were on board as well with some of my niece’ friends that are leaving for college soon.  This was touching they are excited nervous and clinging to one another and danced up a storm with all their energy.

I cannot say enough about music in the relationships in my life. Sometimes words are not enough. It is the gestures of joy and smiles and dancing and hugs that do the trick. And these past 2 days in New York City floating past the Brooklyn Bridge and Lady Liberty, we all grooved together like one big extended family without a care in the world…..fabulous.

Good reading and blessings, tango on……Cat
