The youngest of our little clan graduated last weekend. Here is her inspiring face.

She’s 18, learning the ropes of adulthood, and preparing to launch into her collegiate career. What better way to celebrate that than to introduce her to New York City? So, tomorrow, the girls of the clan (sisters, mom, me) will go on a jaunt to the big city. Neither Elise nor my mom have ever known the thrill of walking the avenues of NYC, so I’m particularly excited for this trip. I can’t wait to see what they think of the over-caffeinated metropolis. Prepare the coffee IV. Stat!
