Beautiful Irish Woman has Birthday

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.

Herman Draws At Highlawn Pavilion

This view of Manhattan and much more can be seen from the Highlawn Pavilion in West Orange, New Jersey. For first-time visitors like me the initial view is so expansive it’s breath-taking. Here is part of the view as you drive up towards the overlook.

The building is a short walk to the left. And the same views entice us from every window in the dining room. Herman drew quick black&white portraits today, and here are two of the party guests and their drawing.
