another winner

another totally wonderful sunny day

 alas

 there's

 snow coming

 tonite into tomorrow

 i met my friend blondie for lunch

 we walked uptown to candle cafe west 

a place

 my friend judy 

has been trying

 to get 

me 

to go to

 forever 

after today's lunch

 i am wondering

 why

 i never agreed to go

  its an organic cuisine restaurant

 the caters to vegans/vegetarians 

i had

 a

 yummy nuevos rancheros

 made with/of

spicy tempeh-potato hash, corn tortilla, guacamole, tofu sour cream, tomatillo salsa

 it was so good

 i wished

 it was a bigger portion

 since it wasn't

 i had a piece of carrot cake

 oh my

 coffee was good too

 they deliver

 but

 i will be going back 

 no 

didn't take any food photos 

because

 i was too busy eating!

 after lunch

 we walked 

down broadway 

 to do a little window shopping

 we are both handbag and shoe sluts 

we looked

but 

didn't buy

 i did get myself

 a sweet inexpensive necklace

 at a new shop, francesca's on broadway/86 street 

i love sparkle

 i love faux gems

i plan on wearing it with t-shirts

 as well as 

with 

sweaters or dresses 

i love mixing it up

since it was so nice 

toonman and i took a short walk

down to 72nd street

through the park

 there weren't a lot of photo ops

 the angle of the sun

 made for lots of shadows 

but 

i did get this one shot

of

 eleanor roosevelt's statue 

i was trying to get a shot of the squirrel at her feet

 but

 the shadows are too strong 

see for yourself
