New York City

Thursday, April 30, 2009 Posted In , , , Edit This 3 Comments »


We spent the day in New York City. It was busy, but I really enjoyed just walking. And walking. And walking. We went to St. Patrick's Cathedral and I lit a candle in memory of sweet Maggie. Then we wandered down Fifth Ave. The day also included a nice lunch at the Tavern on the Green and a nice walk in Central Park.
I'm exhausted so this is short and really uninformative, but we did have a great time!




Too Much Loss

My heart is broken. Again.

A friend, Kelli, lost her 8 month old little girl yesterday afternoon. It is such a tragedy and I have absolutely no words to express it.

I can't even wrap my brain around how much loss we've all felt lately. This simply pushes it way over the top.

My prayers are with them in this terrible, heartwrenching time.

Gone Wild

We spent the afternoon at the Zoo and I'm exhausted. I have some cute pix but they'll have to wait.

Sorry.

My tastes are bigger than my checkbook, as usual

We enjoyed a rather relaxing day here in the great state of Conneticut. We slept in (by in, I mean 7am) and then we got up, had some breakfast and hung out while the wutz went to be the object of my niece's show and tell for the day. Once they returned, we did lunch at a mediocre restaurant.

Afterward we drive to Westport to do a little shopping. I bought the wutz some clothes from a cute little store there. I can't wait to put him in the little monkey shirt and shorts. He'll be a-dorable.

I also found a great pair of sunglasses at Coach, but I didn't cave and buy them. I may go back later, though.

And I found two charms from Tiffany & Co. that are calling my name. I can't decide which I like better, though.

Here they are:

The Wiz

This afternoon was spent at a matinee of The Wiz, in which my nephew played the Scarecrow. He did a fabulous job. I got to see a side of him that I had never seen before. I am very proud of him. I had no clue he had such a lovely voice, too! Wow!

Afterward was a Q&A with William F. Brown, the playwright of The Wiz. It was interesting!

Here are some terrible pics snapped from my phone:

We survived the flight into NYC. We are now at my brother's house in Conneticut and I am looking forward to a week-long vacay.

I'm tired and I'll hopefully post more tomorrow!
