Theresa celebrated her birthday this past Sunday with her family and friends at the Westchester Golf Club. Her Sign In Board was a portrait of her posing next to a family tree representing the seeds that grew her and the limbs and branches she helped to grow. The basic design was borrowed from the image of the Celtic Tree-of-Life, the large terra cotta pot inscribed with the names of her parents, and a Celtic band winding from left to right. The trunk was inscribed with her own information, and the 5 main branches represented her 5 sons, each festooned with a symbol of each of their professions; stethoscope, Bible, school notebook, ledger book, and psychology tome. The branches and leaves contained the names of the children and grandchildren. A leprechaun leans against the tree trunk, and the scene behind is a simple landscape of County Cooraclare, Ireland. Shamrocks are intertwined amongst the tree leaves.

Have you experienced downtown Yonkers, New York lately? Check out this classy mural down near the waterfront.
The view of the Hudson River is fabulous, also. Right next to the unusual restaurant, X2O.
Party Artist Philip Herman was at X2O last weekend drawing personality portraits of the guests. This first gentleman is a diamond grader, French, and an immaculate dresser.
