Aunt Marcey spent most of last week with us before she got on the road to head back to New York City. Her clerkship in Memphis came to a close and now it's back to life as usual in NY--new apartment but
same job. We have LOVED having her in this part of the country for the last year, and better yet getting to see her every month or so when she was required to be in Cincinnati with
Judge G and the other clerks. But we are also glad that she gets to move back to a city that has become home to her over the last nine or so years. She knows she is welcome anytime (and as often as she can manage)! Corinne and I had an especially nice week with Marce. Corinne took to her right away and the two of them are fun to watch together (next time you see her, ask Marcey about her special song for Corinne). As always Marce and I enjoyed our time hanging out with one another, just being ourselves. Lots of good conversation and lots of fun, too.
One day we went to the zoo with Marcey and my mom (a.k.a. Grammy), who took an afternoon off of work for the occasion. Besides it being extremely hot, we had a great time. Corinne was fascinated with the peacock that wanted to join our family that day--you can see she nearly climbed out of her stroller.We also saw the giraffes up close and heard the lions roar!
We went out for lunch a few times and this photo shows us waiting for our food at
Zip's. We love having this little hamburger dive right around the corner from our house, and we were able to walk there for lunch one day. Corinne loved the train that goes around the restaurant way above the floor. The train, along with playing with Aunt Marcey's hands, kept her happy the entire time!

I had a great time with you and Corinne. Spending time with you two (and Brett when he's around) is one of my favorite things, and this visit was no exception.
Corinne is so adorable and fun to play with. Highlights for me were lunch at Zip's (watching Corinne watch the train) and lunch at Dilly Deli, where Corinne got compliments from TWO people who were having lunch and saw her cute face and good behavior. I was very proud!
I am sad that my regular Cincinnati visits have come to an end. But I'm sure we'll make the most of my next visit home.
Love,
Marce
