Can I tell you how magical my trip was?

I didn’t get to do everything I wanted, but my goodness. I did so much that I love and have a warm little spot in my heart for. There was so much that made me tear up and instantly fall in love with New York.

There were two little girls on the subway one night who were playing “I spy.” They spied letters and reminded me of my little boy who loves the letter “H” which they spied at one point. I wanted to sit down with them and kiss them and tell them how darling they were.

I met up with my friend, Luke, who I have not seen in about 8 years. Yes, that Luke, the one I worked with at JCPenney at my first job right after my freshman year of college.

I saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The statue was a present from the French, did you know? The base cost $100,000 dollars at the time and Mr. Pulitzer from the newpaper wrote and article to get people to donate money for the base. He put everyone who donated name in the paper. School children sent in 5 and 10 cents.

Really, though, the thing that made the trip was seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway. It was pure magic and transformed me to a kid again. I get chills listening to it now.

Anything can happen if you let it…
