To me. Birthday present #1 was a sun rising in partial eclipse. I didn’t catch the eclipse part, but I got the sunrise.
Then on to communing with the ancestors. On the left my mother, who died on March 26, 2003. On the right, my great-great-grandmother Catharine Jones Newcomb, who died on March 29, 1844.
Then to commune with favorite bodies of water: Notch Lake and the Ashokan Reservoir.
Finally, dinner with the family and a lesson in violin-playing basics from my granddaughter.
