NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SO NICE, THEY HAD TO NAME IT TWICE!

“Mildred, Teresa, Jackie and two friends (Lisa and Sarita) spent the weekend in New York this summer.  While in NY we went to the Broadway Show “Fences” starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. All of us were trying to exchange places with Viola and be Denzel’s wife. We had a wonderful time watching him, he is so fine! We also saw Halle Berry at the show that night. . . .”
