Aliza’s Place

Today is Jeanine’s 59th birthday. After work, we visited with our good friend Aliza for cheese and crackers and to see her new house. Construction was recently completed and all that remains is to work through a punch list of small touchups. We will more fully celebrate Jeanine’s birthday with the kids on Easter Sunday. Jeanine worked all day as did I, meeting with a current client in the morning and a new one all afternoon. With my kidney stone episode in full swing, I struggled to get through the day and by the time we got home, all I could do was collapse on the couch. I am afraid I was not a good birthday spouse this time around and hope to make it up to Jeanine with a trip to see “Fallingwater,” arguably architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s most celebrated design. It is located about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh and is listed among Smithsonian‘s “Life List of 28 Places to See Before You Die” and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
