SPRING BREAK IN NYC...........the good the bad and the parking ticket....
 |
| My week in NYC started out with a Fashion Show.... Sophie is seen here channeling Roy Orbison...... she always has on sunglasses.... |
 |
| Me and B went to the I-Hop out in Jersey...... |
 |
| The waitress was shocked that "B" actually ate all of the pancake.....with a side of bacon... She commented that kids never eat what they order... A shining testimonial to the I-Hop food... |
 |
| back in the city it was Bunny cake making..... |
 |
| I tried my hand at dying shelled eggs..... the color came good and who doesn't love a good deviled egg....but I was a little heavy handed with the paprika... I don't know what I was thinking..... |
 |
| "B" spent Easter with her father so me and daughter hogged the Bunny at Brunch at Brasserie 8 1/2...... |
 |
| A sampling of the dessert buffet...... the lemon tart was a winner....everything else.... not very good.... They did have a wide array of food....but in typical "this always happens to us"....the place was maybe 1/4 filled when we arrived and they took us to the farthest point in the dining room...way in the back of the room..... next to the kitchen door...Not happening.... After I fussed they moved us up 4 booths closer.... You wonder what goes through people's minds when they do things like that... |
 |
| Then there was Ringling Brothers....... basically now a "One Ring" circus.... at one point the only thing going on down on the floor were 2 gay men and a rabbit.... they built a whole act around that..... |
 |
| the second half livened up a bit with all the tigers..... I was surprised PETA wasn't protesting outside... How do they really get those tigers to do tricks? |
 |
| And this is always a site to see.... It's always a show stopper.... |
 |
| "B" with her stuffed animal stash.... What??? she's an only child....she's spoiled.... You can never have too many stuffed up toys.... Courtesy of Grandpa who even spoils from afar..... |
 |
| Must be the Brooklyn Bridge.... |
 |
| Left home one night on my own I decided to keep busy by re-arranging daughters furniture.... |
 |
the bookcases were already in place....I added the Eiffel Tower to the table.... |
 |
| By moving the sofa against the radiator it now showcases the beautiful rug..... |
 |
| what a difference it makes by simply re-arranging furniture placement... The room now looks twice as large.... I tried to convince daughter to paint that big round column back by the windows a light Aqua to match the color in the rug.... A few more days there and I would have done it myself... I think the room needs a little "pop" of color.... |
 |
| Regal "Miss Kitty"..... The sweetest cat around.... she loves sitting in this chair..... |
 |
| Well on my last day in the city.....I took out the car and I did legally park in a parking garage to take "B" to Toy R Us at Times Square....I paid a hefty $35.00 for 2 hours....But then we had to make a pit stop at Mom's office on 50th Street..... Driving down the street I spy a very tiny spot right next to one of those "Muni Meters" where you pay first and leave the ticket on the dash....The Bug squeezed into the space with only inches to spare...there were normal cars parked in front and in back of the space... I bought my hour of parking and put the receipt on the dash.... I hung my handicap tag from the mirror.... I even asked the security guard from the Time Building if it was legal to park there... to which he said...."Yes"..... |
 |
| Liar in a uniform..... I came out 1/2 hour later to find a ticket.... $115.00 ticket.... it seems about 5 car lengths ahead of where I was parked was a sign that said "commercial vehicles only" You could have fooled me as there was a White Camaro parked a few spots ahead and there was no ticket on that car.... Yes....I will appeal it....I mean it's a car with out of state plates.....it's a handicapped person who paid the required fee.....I wasn't taking up the space for another Commercial Vehicle unless a "Smart Car" came along.... Plus if you read my last post..... "I am Special"....... |
 |
| And lastly here is "B" trying to box herself up and be Fedex'ed back to Georgia.... I don't think I would like jail so I'll have to wait a few weeks until she comes down the legal way By Airplane with her mother.... I miss you girls!!!! |

That bridge.in your photo is the Manhattan Bridge, not the Brooklyn Bridge...they are pretty close to each other.
Sad about that ticket....parking in NYC is tough and expensive..tbat is why I always took a bus subway or cab...it was just easier!

So your girls are coming to see you and The Boss? That ought to be fun.
hugs, Linda
Love seeing Miss B and loved seeing your daughter's apartment. What a great place! The pic of you two with the Easter Bunny was fun, too.
Appeal the ticket. That's rotten.
