Kitty in the City Last
Kitty in the City
Last weekend my Aunt Margaret brought her family to visit NY. She also brought my cousin Cat so that she could spend a few days with me. We had a blast! Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, cabs and subways and Joe Allen's. Cat's first Broadway musical ever was the current revival of Into the Woods. Cat was funny too. At one point, she seemed bent on losing the rest of our little group and pretending to be a single, independent New Yorker. It was very cute but also a little scary. She's ten and she thinks she can take care of herself in any situation. What a handful.
The whole trip reminded of one of my favorite childhood adventures. I got to go off to Houston for a week and visit Aunts Kathleen and Margaret. I had so much fun on that trip. Part of it was being the center of attention I am sure, but I think alot of it was spreading my wings. Discovering who I was outside my immediate family; learning who I was as an I and not a we. Cat's trip to NY brought that whole experience full circle. I hope someday Cat will be able to do the same thing for her younger relatives...perhaps one of my someday children.
The wet blanket of the whole trip was that ZENA was inexplicable closed! So Aunt Margaret has still not reunited with the "psychic" that foretold her current marriage. ARGH!
