It's that time of year Again....... When Daughter get's together with her Mini-Creative Half and they put together a calendar to end all calendars..... Atleast in this Grandmother's opinion!!! This year finds my girls uprooted from their home in Jersey Thanks to that Ass of an ex- SIL ..... And they are enjoying themselves in their new home in The BIG APPLE....... So.......without further adieu .... Here is Our Girl in the City...... JANUARY........ Times Square! Yes! "If I can Make it Here, I can make it Anywhere! Mary Tyler Moore.....Watch Out!!!! FEBRUARY... The DMV gave her a license..... so like all new New Yorkers Sophie thought she'd try her hand at being a Cabbie ... MARCH....... She thought about occupying Wall Street..........but then figured.......NAH APRIL.... Next on her list? Eating....... It ain't New York without a Hot Dog... or a Bagel..... MAY... Sophie considered being a BeatNik in the Village... JUNE.... And........ for the start o...

I just got back from a very short week in NYC...... Seven days in the Big Apple felt more like two... I snapped a few pictures about town..... It didn't seem very Christmas-ie this year.... But it was all about being with my girls!! We did a little shopping but we also saw one fabulous Musical..... Called "Pricilla Queen of the Desert"..... Ofcourse Woody Allen And Stephane Wrenbel a Gypsy guitar player out in Brooklyn..... I got to see Daughter's new residence....I was amazed just how many dogs people have.....It seemed everyone had one or more..... Which I can't even imagine having one while living in an apartment....but our Miss Zeta seems very happy And Miss B finally realizes that it's an apartment.... For weeks and weeks she called it "the hotel"..... A lovely little park right across from her apartment..... with an intriguing blue door.... and an interesting light fixture.... And this magnificent entrance door....I can only imagine how gorgeo...

This post falls under the same category as Neil Diamond.... You either hate him or love him.... In our case.....that would be me and the daughter... We both LOVE Woody Allen..... So when daughter knew I was coming to NYC for a visit She suggested that she take me to see Woody Allen play his clarinet at the Carlyle Hotel.... He's been doing this for years and years on Monday nights and we Have always wanted to go.... One other Thing to mark off that list before I die..... So with reservations for dinner at 6:30 and the show to begin at 9:00 we.....in typical never happy where we get seated fashion..... We moved our selves from the side corner of the room to the front of the stage.....Much better for viewing.... Please don't ask why my eyeglasses are tinted orange.... I borrowed them from the Boss..... I felt like the people that get free eye wear from "The Lighthouse for the Blind"..... Dinner was great......it took us about 2 hours from appetizer to desert.... And the...

It was a glorious Day in the South today so I decided to get out the Nikon and take some Christmas pictures.... We haven't celebrated the holiday in years since we usually spend Christmas up in Jersey....But not this year.... We will be spending time on Tarpley Place..... What a difference a year brings..... This is our new cul de sac..... Dorothy we aren't in the "Hood" anymore..... We actually got to decorate outdoors!! Each house has rows and rows of garland with red bows.... You know me....I have to be different... We went with wreaths all along the fence.... 13 in all.... A Bit Fancier on the gate.... I've had this ribbon for years....I knew someday it would come in handy!! I had fun inside too!! I've been collecting nutcrackers for over 35 years.... They seem to fit well in this house... I wondered when you were going to ask why the pictures look a bit odd..... Two Words.......Fisheye Lens.... Looking from the Kitchen into our Great Room See the tree hid...
