Parting is such sweet sorrow.

My last outdoor patio sunrise until December.

My last swim until December.

My last romp with the Marvelous Mermaids.

I am leaving on a jet plane this morning.

I must confess to loving my life in south Florida.

Most importantly, I feel Queen E’s presence in the early morning as I savor my first cup of coffee before sunrise.

I adore the sights and sounds of my early foray into the pool as I swim my 50 laps and then run in the water for extended periods of time.

The duck duo noisily visit every morning. On the patio I watch the graceful egrets slowly strut their stuff, the iguanas big and small roam the property.

I enjoy the banter with the Mermaids as we collectively stride back and forth for three hours.

Dinner time is a no brainer with fine fare minutes away.

It is back to city living, but fear not, I hit the ground running this week with a tour of the newly renovated and just reopened Frick Museum, a date with George Clooney on Broadway, an exciting new seafood restaurant, yet another new Broadway opening and a reunion with our incredible doggie right before her birthday.

Hopefully, lots to look forward to.
