Wow! This has been a very exciting day!….My first Blog day and also the day I just went on an exciting adventure. My son Joe, daughter-in-law Jennifer and grandsons Daniel (5) and Adam(3) invited me to join them and their friends on a visit to the Train Show at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx,NY.

Of course, I didn’t hesitate to say “Yes!” A day with my family is always a special occasion.
OK….Off we rode to the Show…It was a wonderful experience. So many people…great exhibits of trains riding through beautiful gardens and incredible combinations of greenery and miniature trains in motion. All the children as well as the adults were spellbound by the displays.

There was also the ‘Gingerbread Adventure’ where we walked thru gingerbread land learning all about making a Gingerbread Man and ginger bread cookies as well as actual demonstrations, activities and goodies. The children also climbed large Rock formations. That was the one thing I closed my eyes to and got slightly hysterical about as my grandsons and their friends climbed huge rocks. (I’m sure you understand the stress a grannie can get watching that action…OY!)
After an exhausting but fun day ..It was back home again! I highly recommend this adventure…It’s a great way to spend a day with the family!

Home again…I spoke to my grandson David who just completed this wonderful Blog website.
He was instrumental in suggesting the Blog and in creating the website. The amazing part is he’s just 16 years old…and my hero!! Of course, his dad, my son Marty, who is a computer professional and developed my website is always a great support to David and to all of us. My daughter-in-law Debbie is my greatest supporter - always gives me confidence and encouragement. She will be working along with me to create and develop this exciting project.

Please send your messages…Your thoughts, suggestions and any other ideas you may have…

Happy Blogging!
