sunday in the park


Riverside Park
Talk about sitting on the fence.
This fellow was deciding should he or shouldnt he
hop down into that enclosed area
He did.

waiting, impatiently


These two handsome goldens were waiting to see their vet
back in September when our cat Gus was in for his annual visit.
Notice the red 'cast'?
He was there for a check up,
but he was scared
his BFF came along to help keep him calm.
Today we are at the vet with Gus
He's been limping and we're having his hip/leg checked
Keep good thoughts for our boy, 'k?!
Thanks!

dinner with friends

This past Monday after a workshop at the new Apple Store on Broadway at 68th Street I met Jeane of ARTIT and her BFF Lisa in from the Seattle area for a few days of museum visits, shopping and blog meet ups.

I love Jeane's art, a while back I sent her two small already painted on canvases and all my old oil paint. I don't paint any more and I knew she wanted to try painting in oil; she has done some fabulous stuff this is one piece she did back then AND she brought me a new painting.  I must take a photo of when its hung .. she used one of the old canvases I sent her.

We had drinks and dinner at a Nick & Toni's Cafe on West 67th St; after much laughter, good adult libations and some yummy food we walked uptown on Columbus Avenue passing Magnolia Bakery, if you don't know Magnolia, click here, they specialize in cupcakes.

What a coincidence ..

Jeane's favorite food? Cupcakes!


She got a red velvet and enjoyed every bite.

Then we did some window shopping at Intermix... good thing they werent open!



She's coming back to town this summer and I cannot wait.

new bookmark

I use postcards and photos as bookmarks ... currently I am reading Michael Connelly's Scarecrow, an excellent suspense novel, and I am now marking my place with this





It arrived yesterday in the mail from Erin over at The Good Life in Virginia ... you may have heard that OysterFest was held this past weekend in Urbanna.




I wasnt able to attend but some of the other Virginia BlogFest ladies (and gents) were; Erin hoped to meet up with them but didnt.   She is however considering joining in BlogFest '10 this summer.  WOOT!
