monday monologue - so much stuff

So much stuff went on this weekend 
from the internets failing 
(thank you SO much TimeWarner, its still out I am quickly typing and uploading photos here at the office) 
to 
Rose coming home from hospital 
last weekend's vet visit turned into her being hospitalized 
she's doing great thanks to her wonderful 
Dr Andy and his entire staff at City Veterinary Care
from 
the desk ladies to the techs 
she almost didnt want to come home.  

Kidding

My friend Nancy came over on Saturday to visit, 
go shopping with me 
have lunch at Fred's in Barney's

We stopped into 
GaGa's Workshop
where I was encouraged to take photos
had I known
I'd have schlepped the BIG camera
alas
you'll have to settle for unsigned, 
unedited 
point&shoot pix 
supplemented 
by iPhone pix


 the Madison Avenue windows



the elevator waiting area


the shoppers


the displays





the merchandise
every item is priced high
25% of each item's sale price goes to GaGa's foundation
nothing is returnable or exchangeable
all sales
final



Barney's went all out
every shopping bag in the store was branded
GaGa!


Sunday
with the internets still out I headed out to meet my friends
Larry, Kevin, Judy and Kathy
at 
a really fun laid back restaurant 
very child friendly
thankfully the children and their parents were smartly kept in another room
tho the line up of strollers in the entryway was a bit scary


me and my Larry


that's Kevin, me, Judy
and Larry


on the way from the restaurant to the Flea Market 
we passed this mirror on the street and posed

I was on a mission, my friend Laura Peach wants skeleton keys!
 mission accomplished


all that hard work brunching and flea marketing was followed
by beautification
seriously did you think I wouldnt?

Thanks for tagging along, its always more fun when I know you're here!
