Great granddaughter born just before New Year. Youngest granddaughter turned 16; celebrated at a terrific party. Lovely times with family. Local fundraiser where I got to meet NC governor. Universal in FL w/2 granddaughters. Great bookclub discussions. Learned how cricket is played. Fun times with friends. In Nov, got to interact with favorite Bollywood star in Mumbai. Caught up with other friends in India. Turned 78 years old and in very good health.
